There are many traditional versions of this hauntingly emotional melody. This is our humble attempt at creating an English version of this beautiful love song based loosely on translations from the original variations.

LYRICS Sari Gelin I fight for a love Knowing it can’t be won Sent from a light above Child of our golden Sun O, golden bride I reach for hands Knowing they can’t be held Cursed by words I can’t tell Broken under your spell O, golden bride And like a rose Turning in to thorns My love was taken Back to the light above What can I do, my love? Child of our Golden Sun O, golden bride A beating drum Searches on for your song Echoes will carry on Wondering where you’ve gone O, golden bride Is that your voice Caught in the mountain air? Leading me to nowhere Drifting in silent prayer O, golden bride And like a rose Turning in to thorns My love was taken Back to the light above What can I do, my love? Child of our Golden Sun O, golden bride Saçın ucun hörməzlər Gülü sulu dərməzlər Sarı Gəlin Saçın ucun hörməzlər Gülü qönçə dərməzlər Sarı Gəlin (The ends of your long hair are not meant to be woven The flower-buds are not to be plucked O, golden bride) Bu sevda nə sevdadır Səni mənə verməzlər Neynim aman, aman Neynim aman, aman Sarı Gəlin (What kind of love is this? They will not give you to me Oh, what can I do? Oh, what should I do? O, golden bride) Back to the light above What can I do, my love? Child of our Golden Sun O, golden bride #SYTheCentre #SamiYusuf #SariGelin © Andante Records. All rights reserved
