I fight for a love Knowing it can’t be won Sent from a light above Child of our golden Sun Sari Gelin
I reach for hands Knowing they can’t be held Cursed by words I can’t tell Broken under your spell Sari Gelin
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 Sari Gelin.
A beating drum Searches on for your song Echoes will carry on Wondering where you’ve gone Sari Gelin
Is that your voice Caught in the mountain air? Leading me to nowhere Drifting in silent prayer Sari Gelin
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 Sari Gelin
Saçın ucun hörməzlər Gülü sulu dərməzlər Sarı gəlin Saçın ucun hörməzlər Gülü sulu dərməzlər Sarı gəlin
Bu sevda nə sevdadır Səni mənə verməzlər Neynim aman, aman Neynim aman, aman Sarı gəlin
Back to the light above What can I do, my love? Child of our Golden Sun Sari Gelin
