Lyrics

Azerbaijani:

Fikrinden geceler yatabilmirem

Bu fikri başımdan atabilmirem

Neyleyim ki sene çatabilmirem

Ayrılıq, ayrılıq aman ayrılıq

Herbir dertten olar yaman ayrılıq

Uzundur hicrinden qara geceler

Bilmirem men gedim hara geceler

Vuruptur gelbime yara geceler

Ayrılıq, ayrılıq aman ayrılıq

Herbir dertten olar yaman ayrılıq

Translation

I cannot sleep in the nights dreaming you rather

I cannot throw away this dream

What else I can do when I cannot reach you

Separation, separation, oh separation

Separation enduring more than anything else

Without having you the dark nights looks longer than ever

Where I can escape from the dark nights

Theses nights had scotched my heart

Separation, separation, oh separation

Separation enduring more than anything else
