Elem acı ve keder
Bir gün hepsi geçer
Hayat dudaklarda mey
Yaşamak ne güzel şey
Ümidini hiç kırma
Boşver sen aldırma
Hayat dudaklarda mey
Eğlen oyna durma, hey!
Yaşamak ne güzel şey

Bakarsın en acı gün yarın olur bir dün
Tanrı böyle istemiş, kullarım gülsün demiş
Taa milattan bu yana acırlar ağlayana
Hayat dudaklarda mey
Eğlen oyna durma, hey!
Yaşamak ne güzel şey

Sorrow, pain, and grief,
One day all of that will pass.
Life is right upon our lips.
Life is such a wonderful thing.
Don't you ever break your hope.
Forget it, don't you worry.
Life is right upon our lips,
Have fun, dance, don't stop, hey!
Life is such a wonderful thing.

You'll look to find that right after a sad day, there will be a wedding.
The Lord wanted it this way, "May my subjects laugh," He said.
Ever since the birth of Christ* it's this way, pain is for those that cry.
