Sari Gelin is a famous Azeri folk song hugely popular around the world, particularly in Turkey, Azerbaijain and the Persian speaking countries (Afghanistan, Iran, Tajikistan) as well as Uzbekistan, Greece, Bosnia and Serbia to name just a few. There are many traditional versions of this hauntingly emotional melody. This is our humble attempt at creating an English version of this beautiful love song based loosely on translations from the original variations.

| Lyrics |

I fight for a love 

Knowing it can't be won 

Sent from a light above 

Child of our golden Sun 

Sari Gelin 

I reach for hands 

Knowing they can't be held 

Cursed by words I can't tell 

Broken under your spell 

Sari Gelin 

And like a rose 

Turning in to thorns 

My love was taken 

Back to the light above 

What can I do, my love? 

Child of our Golden Sun 

Sari Gelin. 

A beating drum 

Searches on for your song 

Echoes will carry on 

Wondering where you've gone 

Sari Gelin 

Is that your voice 

Caught in the mountain air? 

Leading me to nowhere 

Drifting in silent prayer 

Sari Gelin 

And like a rose 

Turning in to thorns 

My love was taken 

Back to the light above 

What can I do, my love? 

Child of our Golden Sun 

Sari Gelin 

Saçın ucun hörməzlər Gülü sulu dərməzlər Sarı gəlin 

Saçın ucun hörməzlər Gülü sulu dərməzlər Sarı gəlin 

Bu sevda nə sevdadır Səni mənə verməzlər Neynim aman, aman Neynim aman, aman Sarı gəlin 

Back to the light above 

What can I do, my love? 

Child of our Golden Sun 

Sari Gelin
