The world is joyful and merry today,
People have gathered for their holiday.
Everybody here is jubilant and gay,
A young man strums the saz – it’s a holiday!
The sun in the sky wears its festive attire,
For all folks the holiday to enjoy and admire.
There’s a faint whiff of magic in the air,
The world has been given perfume to wear.
A bedraggled beggar came up to a bai –
The rich man embraced him – it’s a holiday!
I went to the river, since I decided to stay,
Watch the waves splash and whisper: it’s a holiday!
Even the stubborn wind had something nice to say
In its light, gentle rustle – it’s a holiday!
