Lyrics

Deniz kıyısında ışıklar yanar

Deniz kıyısında ışıklar yanar

Bir gemi uzaktan selama kanar

Bir gemi uzaktan selama kanar

Yoldan gel ey yarim yoldan gel yoldan

Kesme umudunu mavi rüzgardan

Mavi rüzgardan

Ver elini dalga dalga çalalım sabahı bulalım

Yoldan gel ey yarim yoldan gel yoldan

Kesme umudunu mavi rüzgardan

Mavi rüzgardan

Ver elini dalga dalga çalalım sabahı bulalım

Deniz kıyısında ışıklar yanar

Deniz kıyısında ışıklar yanar

Bir gemi uzaktan selama kanar

Bir gemi uzaktan selama kanar

Yoldan gel ey yarim yoldan gel yoldan

Kesme umudunu mavi rüzgardan

Mavi rüzgardan

Ver elini dalga dalga çalalım sabahı bulalım

Yoldan gel ey yarim yoldan gel yoldan

Kesme umudunu mavi rüzgardan

Mavi rüzgardan

Ver elini dalga dalga çalalım sabahı bulalım

Come from the Road

Lights come on by the seashore

Lights come on by the seashore

A ship is drawn to a distant hail

A ship is drawn to a distant hail

Come from the road, O halfway, come from the road

Don't give up your hope from the blue wind

By the blue wind

Give me your hand, wave by wave, let's find the morning

Come from the road, O halfway, come from the road

Don't give up your hope from the blue wind

By the blue wind

Give me your hand, wave by wave, let's find the morning

Lights come on by the seashore

Lights come on by the seashore

A ship is drawn to a distant hail

A ship is drawn to a distant hail

Come from the road, O halfway, come from the road

Don't give up your hope from the blue wind

By the blue wind

Give me your hand, wave by wave, let's find the morning

Come from the road, O halfway, come from the road

Don't give up your hope from the blue wind

By the blue wind

Give me your hand, wave by wave, let's find the morning
