Sallana Sallana
Sallana sallana meçe ser ave
Yıkamış esbabı raxi ber tave
Bir öpücük isterem xera dew u bawe
Yabancı değilem kure xale temme
Dı beji na beji hewala temme
Evimi sorarsan nezika mala te ye
Keyfimi sorarsan keyfim hale te ye
Aslımı sorarsan kure ape te ye
Yabancı değilem kure xale temme
Dı beji na beji hewala temme
Salını salını tu ji virda hati
Aşkın ateşinden dile min keti
Dilber söz vermiştin tu çıma nati
Yabancı değilem kure xale temme
Dı beji na beji hewala temme
Yeki Tirki bibejim dudu Kurmanci
Yanağı gırmızı seva nar inci
Dedim bir buse ver etme narinci
Yabancı değilem kure xale temme
Dı beji na beji hewala temme
Bir gün geleceğim male bawe te
İsimini bilmem ki dibem nave te
Eğil de öpeyim geçe halke cave te
Yabancı değilem kure xale temme
Dı beji na beji hewala temme
Aşık Şenlik beji tu yare min i
Bıldır sen kız idin isale tu jin i
Çima xeber neda demek tu jin i
Yabancı değilem kure xale temme
Dı beji na beji hewala temme
