Menekşemin şan solosu


Menekşem o gece kaçınca bana

Bayramlaştık gerdek vakti, şakıdık

Sehere kadar sürdü cümbüş sefa:

“Anne, baba, Allah'a ısmarladık!"


Mehtaba çıkıp ay gibi parladık

Şad olduk guş gibi, neydi o sefa! 

Ergenlik çağı geçince - ağladık:

“Allah'a ısmarladık, anne, baba!"  


Nikâh kıydık, gelin-güvey de olduk 

Hoş-beş ettik tabi, çünkü mutluyduk:

"Bugün aileyiz, aile" dedik! 


Menekşem gelince bana o gece

Peynir ekmek gibi keyfiyet yedik:  

"Yad et Oruç ağa!" 

"Selam saadet, memnuniyet ve eğlence!"

Aria Violet 


When Violet came home one night, 

I burned bluish-red until the twilight! 

Oh! Time of my life! She sang to me: 

"I said, bye-bye mommy! Bye-bye daddy! 

I found happiness with Denny!" 


When Violet came home that night, 

At last, I knew my world was all right! 

Oh! Family! Then, she sang to me: 

"I said, bye-bye mommy! Bye-bye daddy! 

I'll now belong to Denny!"


When Violet came home that night, 

We were the stars shining so bright! 

Oh! What night!  Then, she sang to me: 

"I said, bye-bye mommy! Bye-bye daddy! 

I'll soon be married to Denny! "


When Violet came home that night, 

We knew they were wrong and we were right! 

Oh! My poor heart! Then she sang to me: 

"I said, bye-bye mommy! Bye-bye daddy! 

Wish us well with Denny!"
