Lyrics

Azerbaijani English translation


Fikrindən gecələr yata bilmirəm
Bu fikri başımdan ata bilmirəm
Neyləyim ki, sənə çata bilmirəm (2)
Ayrılıq, ayrılıq, aman ayrılıq
Hər bir dərddən olar yaman ayrılıq
Uzundur hicrindən qara gecələr
Bilmirəm, mən gedim hara gecələr
Vurubdur qəlbimə yara gecələr
Ayrılıq, ayrılıq, aman ayrılıq
Hər bir dərddən olar yaman ayrılıq


Your memory keeps me up in sleepless nights.
I can't release this thought from my head,
For whatever I do, I can't reach you.
Separation, separation, oh separation!
It's the most painful injury of all, bitter separation.
In your absence, these dark nights stretch to eternity,
I don't know where I'd go in these nights.
Nights which struck wounds into my heart!
Separation, separation, oh separation!
Most painful injury of all, bitter separation.
