Qara jorga bolmasa / beedin sani keler me?

Qos etek koilek kimese / qizdin sani keler me?

Al qanekei joldastar / bireuin shiq toi bastar

Toi degende deidi-eken / domalaidi qu bastar

Without it, is the dance in style?

Without flouncy dresses, are girls beautiful?

Come, my comrades, leave your someone

Start the party, move around, you guys!

Al halayiq beelender / beelenizder suigenmin,

Basingizdar shattanip / qara jorga biyine

Qossin barliq beinege / qan tarasin denege

Qara jorga bolmasa / toidin sani keler me?

Now people, dance with your loved ones

Gladly nod your heads and dance,

Bring it on, let the blood rush,

Without the dance, is the party fun?

Qara jorga oinandar / qoi dece de qoimandar

Qos jurektin shattigin / del osilay toylandar

Kele bermes ingaiga / del osilay kun qayda?

Oynanizdar jamagat / bilenizder mundaida

Qara jorga, play it now. If they say “stop,” don’t you stop!

Two hearts’ gladness, just this way

When else comes such a perfect day?

Play it, people, dance it right here!

Shaldar jurse shattanip / janarinan ot janip

Bee beelesin maidanda / kempirine maqtanip

Kempir jursin kenkildep / aq jauligin jelpildep

Shaldarina koz qisip / bee beelesin selkildep

Old ones go gladly, light fire from fire,

Dance on the lawn, with pride in your wives.

You old women, hoot with laughter,

Dance, you wives, wink at the old men.

Beele jengem beelegim / mina toydin guli edin

Agalardin qalayda / dir-dir etkiz juregin

Salauatti agasy / azamattin sarasy

Beelep jatkan silsildap / kelinshekterge qarashy

Dance, my sister, our feast’s flower

Set the uncles’ hearts a-tapping

Exalted brother, best of men

The dancing young wives, look at them

Beele beele jigitter / janin turgan umitter

Shiqqaninsha toqtama / mandaiyinnan tuniq ter

Beele kyzdar buralip / sauik sayran quratip

Jaulasin bir ot sezim / jurekterde surapil

Dance, you boys, hopes of our hearts,

Don’t stop when your head starts to sweat

Dance, girls, turn and curve and swirl

Rivals light fire, at fierce hearts (?)

Kizdar solai mazdasin / jurek kilin qozgasin

Korgen kezde jigitter / talip tuse jasdasin

Gashiqtarda til qatip / jurekterdi jir qatip

Kyz ben jigit qosilip / beeleu degen bir bakit

Girls light up, turn our hearts’ strings

Seeing them, you guys may faint

Lovers speak and hearts stop speaking (?)

Guy and girl join in happy dance

Beele beele suluyim / qanday gazhap kuluin

Sirtildasin sausagin / bilqildasin buinin

Anau turgan boijetken / suikimdi edi au-oi netken

Talailagan jigittin / jurekterin soyletken

Dance, my beauty, with lovely smile

Stretch your fingers, loosen your joints

The ready girl, how sweet she is

All the guys fall in love with her.

Qara jorga bolmasa / beedin sani keler me?

Qos etek koilek kimese / qizdin sani keler me?

Al qanekei joldastar / bireuin shiq toi bastar

Toi degende deidi-eken / domalaidi qu bastar

Without it, will the dance be fashionable?

Without flouncy dresses, will the girls be beautiful?

Come, my comrades, leave your someone

Start the party, move around, you guys!
