[00:32]Dengbêj: You are a guest, do not look at me, I do not know if it is a beast, I do not know if it is a human, by God I dare not wake up from sleep.

[00:39]Dengbêj: When the snow hits the tree, the Bracelet of God [implies a person] is human from the waist down, a beast from the waist up, it is the wild, step by step they decrease, not daring to wake from sleep.

[00:47]Dengbêj: My heart, my heart, my heart, my heart, oh Ereb of Mela, oh Hemed of Mela, oh the poverty of Mela, oh my, oh my, oh my.

[01:17]Dengbêj: We are strangers, fallen upon the commander of sleep, you are a guest, do not look at us, this morning may the Bracelet of God put destruction in the mouths of owls, the guest and the treacherous date palms.

[01:25]Dengbêj: I do not know if it is a human, I do not know if it is a beast, it is the wild, by God I dare not wake up from sleep.

[01:31]Dengbêj: The walls, oh the times of the brother's Grey Horse, Senem and Gulcan, may God not let them think.

[01:37]Dengbêj: A voice called out saying: Senem, oh, oh, oh... oh traitor, oh, oh, mysterious appearance, oh, oh, black-fated one, oh, oh.

[01:47]Dengbêj: Oh Senem, a thousand and one names of God, your words are heavy words, the beast of the wild is a human, Ereb is facing the bride, his food is the grass of the wild.

[01:56]Dengbêj: His drink is sheep's milk. God knows when the army of Ahmed Beg came, crossing the rivers and fords of Mosul, the leg of the arrow.

[02:06]Dengbêj: At night, in the middle of the night, a fog fell upon him, the brother of the Grey Horse is the rider of Deph, no one saw the fog fallen upon the commander of sleep.

[02:12]Dengbêj: The shawl of Ahmed Beg, sent into the air regarding the arrival, may his arrival be a blessing.

[02:16]Dengbêj: My heart... oh Ereb of Mela... oh Hemed of Mela, oh my, oh my.

[02:29]Dengbêj: Oh dear Senem rise, far away Ereb Hemed is searching for the sun, do not wake the greedy one from sleep.

[02:35]Dengbêj: From the time that the shepherd Ereb Hemed lifts his head from sleep.

[02:39]Dengbêj: He sets his eyes and face towards the plain of 'Anê (Ana), watchful, if he makes no sound, the tower of the traitor has come.

[02:46]Dengbêj: Senem called out with a voice saying: my heart, oh Ereb of Mela, oh Baqil of Mela.

[02:51]Dengbêj: Ereb is my beloved, God knows you have crossed the rivers and fords of Mosul, the leg of the arrow.

[02:56]Dengbêj: At night, in the middle of the night, you fell into a fog, the brother of the Grey Horse is the rider of Deph, no one saw the fog, you fell upon the commander of sleep.

[03:04]Dengbêj: The shawl of arrival, may your arrival be blessed.

[03:07]Dengbêj: My heart... oh Ereb of Mela... oh Hemed of Mela, oh my, oh my.

[03:17]Dengbêj: Mela, may God burn the house of Ereb Hemed's father, holding three-stringed instruments, weeping and making lamentations.

[03:26]Dengbêj: Oh Senem, do not bring up my pain, praising the tent and eloquent speech, my wrath burns excessively.

[03:33]Dengbêj: If my word, the fire of the tent is not like this, the hand of God... the circle, it became a pocket, he takes out this script and letter and gives it to Senem.

[03:41]Dengbêj: Senem is upon the brother's Grey Horse, Senem is the rider of Deph.

[03:44]Dengbêj: She said rise Grey Horse, rise Brother, rise black-fated one, rise vessel of honor, rise.

[03:52]Dengbêj: The speech of Ereb Hemed speaks, the fire of the tent does not suffice.

[03:56]Dengbêj: Come in the morning, read this script and letter from the traitorous one down there.

[04:00]Dengbêj: The Grey Horse rises, takes the letter, tears the envelope from it, takes out this script and letter.

[04:05]Dengbêj: Look at the burning, it is the sign of war.

[04:09]Dengbêj: That script of musk is with kohl, and with henna, and with blood.

[04:14]Dengbêj: The white script of musk, the name of the duty of the wilderness of strange brides, the engaged of Hakkari, the land of truth, the leader of nine thousand households is Ahmed Beg.

[04:23]Dengbêj: The Grey Horse is a cousin to a cousin, your loyal ones and Hakkari came out to the plain of 'Anê, the wilderness of Wuber.

[04:28]Dengbêj: Mela, may God burn the house of Kakuy, the grey trap of the mouse.

[04:32]Dengbêj: It is a mouse, Tayyar Agha, the Russian vessel, spending the night under the tent, settlement is good, Mela cuts my dowry like this.

[04:38]Dengbêj: The one who, in the morning, puts henna on my hands and feet, destroys me, is the tribe of the plain of Muş.

[04:44]Dengbêj: My heart... oh Ereb of Mela... oh Hemed of Mela, oh my, oh my.
