Ergen Deda

with Percussion

Translation:

The old bachelor, red-faced old man,

like this and like that, (nonsense syllables)

wearing his peasant hat sideways,

like this and like that, etc.

tipped up and down,

He went to the village, 
and joined the circle dance,
to dance next to the maidens,
All the maidens ran away,
only the youngest one stayed,

the youngest one, Angelina.
