Retroqrad’s Gəl və Bax Azerbaijani Lyrics English Translation
Elkhan Zeynalli describes being thrown into a ‘mad train of bitter memories’ that leads to an abyss. He questions if their hands could have grown old together, framing loss as a riddle.
Gel Ve BaxCome and see.
Gece Nece Yarashir SeneHow the night becomes you,
Hilal Ala GozlerineWith the crescent moon in your hazel eyes.
Haralarda ArzularWhere are the wishes?
Doner MeneThey return to me.
Gel Ve BaxCome and see.
Yarpaqlari SaralirThe leaves are turning yellow,
Payiz Meni Yene Ozu Ile AparirAnd Autumn takes me away with it again.
Yene Atir Meni Dunenlerin IchineIt throws me back into my yesterdays,
Aci Xatirelerimin Deli QatariThe mad train of my bitter memories.
Uchuruma Aparir Meni Senin IzinYour trail leads me to the abyss,
De Gore Bilirsenmi GeleceyimiziTell me, can you see our future?
Qocalarmy Elin Ellerimin IchindeWould your hand grow old inside mine?
Bunlar Hamsi Tapmacadi Bize GizliThese are all riddles, hidden from us.
Hech Kes Bilmir CavabinNo one knows the answer,
Ne Getirer Qara Qutulari SabahinOr what tomorrow’s black boxes will bring.
Dolu Ishiq Ile Yoxsa Ichi QaraliWhether full of light, or dark inside,
Dizi Yarali Sevgiden Amma Gedir Yolun DavaminWith knees wounded by love, I still walk the path.
Qramafonun Sesi Ruhlar Ile DoluThe gramophone’s voice is full of ghosts,
Menim Yuxularim Buruqlar Ile DoluAnd my dreams are full of twists.
Mektublari ‘yox’lar Ile Dolu Noqteler Aralar IleLetters filled with ‘no’s, ellipses, and spaces.
Yaralidi Qelb Chunki Sevgin Oxlar Ile DoluThe heart is wounded, for your love is full of arrows.
Gel Ve BaxCome and see,
Gece Nece Yarashir SeneHow the night becomes you.
Hilal Ala GozlerineWith the crescent moon in your hazel eyes,
Haralarda ArzularWhere are the wishes?
Doner MeneThey return to me.
Gel Ve Bax Heyat Kime Chevirib De MeniCome and see who life has turned me into.
Gel Ve Bax Soyle Gozlerimin Ichi Ne DeyirCome and look, tell me what my eyes are saying.
Tanimadigin Adam Sene Dogma Ya OzgeyemThis man you don’t know—is he kin to you, or am I a stranger?
Ne Hiss Edirsen De GozelimSay whatever you feel, my beauty.
Gel Ve Bax Bizim Geleceyin FalinaCome and look at the fortune of our future.
Bax Belke Bizde Bir De AlinarLook, maybe we can make it work again.
Ikinci Defe – Ikice Nefer Ve Birce HedefA second time—just two people and a single goal.
Ufurek Bu Kozlere Verek Ikinci NefesLet’s blow on these embers, give them a second breath.
Gozlerinden Oxuyuram Artiq Mumkun DeyilBut I read from your eyes: it’s no longer possible.
Ureyi Sondururuk Yandiririq BeyiniWe extinguish the heart, we ignite the mind.
Biz Baxiriq Etrafa Sanki Chichekli BaharWe look around as if it’s a flowery spring,
Amma Piyadalar Qalin GeyinibBut the pedestrians are dressed for winter.
Oturum Mu Seni Tanimiram EviniShall I sit? I don’t know you, or your home.
Barmaginda Uzuk O Goresen Evli MiThat ring on her finger—I wonder, is she married?
Axir Goz Yashi Chunki Bilir SevilirThe tears flow because she knows she is loved.
Gel Ve BaxCome and see,
Gece Nece Yarashir SeneHow the night becomes you.
Hilal Ala GozlerineWith the crescent moon in your hazel eyes,
Haralarda ArzularWhere are the wishes?
Doner MeneThey return to me.
Gel Ve BaxCome and see.
