English Translation:
IF YOU HAD COME
Daffodil field was watching the road since the evening
Which fear prevented you from taking the road, betrayer
An armful kisses remained at the edge of the river, you said
I'm coming, I'm coming tonight
Before the moon returns to the crescent
If you’d come, one more fountain would have added to the to those in Khanikan
Daffodil field was watching the road since the evening
Hasn’t the village (people) slept, haven’t the dogs slept, oh you betrayer
My heart, oh my heart
Hit the border hundred times!
