Lyrics

The lyrics of the song[3] are a lament on the fate of the village bride Ayşe.

Koyun gelir yata yata
Çamurlara bata bata
Gelin Ayşe'm sele gitmiş
Yosunları tuta tuta

Aman Ayşe'm, yaman Ayşe'm
Dağlar başı duman Ayşe'm

The word "Gelin" in Turkish and Gəlin in Azerbaijani means someone who has come into a family (like a bride for example). "Ayşe" is a Turkic female given name, an alternative of the Arabic name Aisha, famously the name of the second wife of Prophet Muhammed.
