This Is for You, Mother

This is for you, my mother,
a song for Bayram day,
may this melody soothe your sorrow
though we are far away.

Bayram Mubarak, dearest mother,
from my heart I say,
may you live in health and happiness
for many more Bayrams to come.

Today is Bayram, mother,
together we are not,
but may the love within my heart
adorn your soul with warmth.

Bayram Mubarak, dearest mother,
from my heart I say,
may you live in health and happiness
for many more Bayrams to come.

And this song instead of me,
though I am far from you,
let it gently kiss your hands
today on blessed Bayram too.

Bayram Mubarak, dearest mother,
from my heart I say,
may you live in health and happiness
for many more Bayrams to come
