HAPPY BIRTHDAY IS 100 YEARS OLD!!!!
May your eyes look at your loved ones
May your face smile with happiness
May you live a long and healthy life
Happy birthday, may you live a hundred years
Leave your troubles one by one
Make your loved ones powerful by being naughty
Open your heart to clear water
Happy birthday, may you live a hundred years
May your feelings be strong together
Our troubles flow, flow crushed
May happiness be written in your destiny
Happy birthday, live a hundred years
The palace of the heart is always open to you
You made the world happy on October 4
You gave the star and the moon to your face
Happy birthday, live a hundred years
You be the honeycomb, Azeroğlu be the bee
Let the tune of the lute of love not be broken
You were born in the land of Kyrgyzstan
Happy birthday, live a hundred lives

SMİLES CRİED
Don’t think that this smiling face of mine is happy.
There is a thousand sorrows in my si ngle laughter
The strange nightingale draws the dice in vain
Those who will laugh for the sake of laughing cried
Smiles made me wail
Red cheeks groaned in pain
My lips could not embellish the words
Smiles cried for tongues
I said my life but
darling didn’t answer
My soul consoled by dreams
Scattered from the heart of faded love
Smiles cried for the ashes
It’s a helpless wound, believe me.
The influences are gone in the past
Broken glass window
cried for the tulles
Friends do not heal heartache
You are the best of friendships
The love of my heart consumed my life
Smiles cried for years
Azeroğlu, I made you laugh
I embroidered the loop on my lace
Waiting patiently to die
Laughs cried for Situations
Yahya Azeroğlu
PEACE MUST PREVAIL!!!
In the damaged essence of this world
In the fire and embers of the fires
In the spring and autumn of the seasons
Peace must prevail.
In every breathing section
In the artist’s breath, in his voice
In the court of people’s conscience
Peace must prevail
In the air balloons of the earth
In the halls of the courthouse
In all areas of this life
Peace must prevail
To shine in a dark place
To serve humanity
To live a life in peace
Peace must prevail
Where man shoots man
Where roses fade in the vineyards
Where there is death and violence
Peace must prevail
Without confirming the lie of the liar
Without judging the weak by the strong
Without questioning race, language and religion
Peace must prevail
As the aim reaches its target
As the mind and insight know
As this Azeroğlu said
Peace must prevail
