LYRICS

Nightshade blooming in my garden
Love I found on my way 
Taking root when all was darkened
Scarred in me always

Shine, shine, shine on my dark nights 
Shine a light on me 
I've been wandering all my life and 
Now I see the land 

In my mornings, waves have taken
What I thought was there
I left you in time forsaken
(With) flowers in your hair

Shine, shine, shine on my dark nights 
Shine a light on me 
I've been wandering all my life and 
Now I see the land


AZERI SECTION:

Girdim eşqin dəryasına, gəmim dolmadı,
Gənc yaşımda səni sevdim, mənim olmadın yar,
Gənc yaşımda səni sevdim, mənim olmadın.

Gəl, gəl, gəl, gözəlim, gəl,
Sevirəm səni.

Gəl, gəl, gəl, gözəlim, gəl,
Sevirəm səni.

Əgər qismətim olarsan,
Alaram səni.

Əgər qismətim olarsan,
Olaram sənin ah yar yar  

 Əgər qismətim olarsan,
Olaram sənin ah yar yar

Əgər qismətim olarsan,
Olaram sənin
