Tin Tin
The peach trees and their beautiful blossoms
How they burned and burned me
My lover's arched brows.

Chorus

Petite, tiny, my girl ever so small
My soul loves you, my soul wants you

In the garden are vegetables 
She is tall and slender
If our two souls could be one
Even the Sultan couldn't separate us.


Chorus

In the garden is celery
But I won't eat it
I am known to be a boy from Sinop
And we love the beautiful ones!

Chorus
