Bir bulut olsam yüklenip yağsamDökülsem damla damla toprağımaBir deli nehir bir asi rüzgarOlup kavuşsam üzüm bağlarına
Bir çiğ tanesi bülbülün çilesiAnnemin sesiyle güne uyansamRadyoda yanık içli bir kemanAğlasa nihavend acemaşiran
Bir turna olsam yollara vursamUçabilsem kendi semalarımaBir seher vakti sılaya varsamSelam versem ah sıradağlarıma
Komşunun kızı çoban yıldızıYaz bahçeleri yeşil mor kırmızıAh şişede la'l Hem de ay hilalBir daha da görmedim öyle yazı
I wish I were a cloud and got loaded and rainedand could have poured my drops on my landor I were a mad creek, a rebel windand could have joined vineyards
I wish I'd woken up to my mother's voice,and there was a drop of dew, a nightingale's warblethe radio was on and a touching fiddle soundwept the *Nihavend Acemashiran melodies
I wish I were a whooper and hit the roadsand could have flied away to my own skiesand went back to my homeland at the crack of dawn,and greeted those mountain ranges
Neighbor's girl, the morning starsummer gardens, green, purple, redOh, the cruet is rubious, the moon is crescentI never saw a summer like that again
