baba zula - cecom

could someone please translate these for me:

BABA ZULA CECOM (LIVE) LYRICS

ben bir bülbül olsam ötsem bahçelerde
her türkümde yaksam adını üzerine
her sabah $akırım gülüm
gülüm ninna ni na nay...

ben bir martı olsam uçsam denizlere
rüzgarlara açsam giderim sehere
her kanadımı çarpı$ta,
gülüm ninna ne na nay...


thank you!!

wow tough one...I love Baba zula! Good choice.

"Cecom" is NOT Turkish though (must be from a Balkan lingo),and written by Canadian Brenna MacCrimmon. It's also the final song of Fatih Akın's movie Crossing the Bridge.
------------------------------

If only I'd be a nightingale and sing in the gardens
In each of my folk songs write your name on them
Every morning I warble my rose (gülüm is a way of addressing to a female, informal)

If only I'd be a seagull, fly away over the seas
If I sailed into the wind, I'd reach the dawn
with every stroke of my wings

lol, I saw Zulu in the title but you wrote it correctly in the thread
