Sari Gelin (Azerbaijani: Sarı Gəlin, سارؽ گلین; Persian: دامن کشان, romanized: Dâman Kešân) or Sari Aghjik (Armenian: Սարի աղջիկ, romanized: Sāri Āγčīk) is the name for a number of folk songs popular among the people of Iran, the southern Caucasus (most prominently present-day Azerbaijan and Armenia) and in eastern Anatolia in present-day Turkey. All versions of the song use the same melody and are written in the Bayati makam or mode, but are sung with different lyrics.[1] The consensus about its country of origin is contested.[1]
Sari Gelin is either a blond bride or a girl from the mountains, depending on the respective lyric language. What the versions have in common, is a boy complaining to/about a girl he loves but cannot achieve.[1]
