Tacettin Fidan

Düğün Dernek

Beyaz başlık gelinlik

Semer sıpa süsledik

Helal olsun damada

Telli gelin istedik

Sere serpe haşmetli

Yandan koyun heybetli

Süslü püslü merkebe

Binsin gelsin gelini

Kapı durak ağlasın

Baba evi dağlasın

Yemek içmek yok ona

Bugün iştah saklasın

Elmas yüzük bilezik

Altın iplik tefecik

Taktık inci gerdanlık

Nazlı gelin getirdik

Düğün şölen var bizde

Cümbüş seven gel dize

Şair gelin alacak

Pilop köfte var size

Davul vursun dövülsün

Zurna çalsın üfürsün

Gelin damat halayı

Sazlı cazlı döktürsün

Amman dostlar merhamet

İşte damat asalet

Gerdek sefa sürmeden

Kalsın yumruk bir zahmet

WEDDING PARTY

A white hood and a wedding dress

We decorated the saddle on a colt that's the best

Well done to the groom!

We got a bride in full bloom!

With a silver and gold ribbons on a wine bottle ready to spume

Spread over and sprinkled in splendor

Seat her sideways, gently and tender

When she is outside the door swanky

Sitting on a fancy but ornate donkey

Mounted, let my bride come home

Majestic like a Sycamore tree, but no hair comb!

Let her weep at the laybys and doorways

Let her father's house be sore at the loss always

No food or drink for me bride today!

She must suppress her appetite all day

Got her diamond rings and bracelets

Plus, a red dainty lace handkerchief for alerts!

Tailored with golden threads, petite

Let's beautify her with a pearl necklace and a wreathe

Brought me a bride who feigns reluctance

But I will welcome her with much exultance!

She demands a lot of care

For she is a delicate flower and so rare!

We have a wedding and a feast

Those who love to party, come and dance please!

Kneel up to the right and kneel down to the left!

This poet will take himself a bride blest

There are tasty meat balls fried for all of our guests

Let the drums beat and boom

Let the bagpipes blow and scream

The bride and groom encircle

Let's all hold hands and form a circle

Start our wedding dance!

Let the Turkish Strings of Saz, advance!

Mercy friends, mercy

Here is the groom of such rare nobility!

Without the wedding pleasures yet complete

Let's spare him the back punch as a treat

Its a rite he doesn't deserve to meet... with!
