| Turnalar öterken bizim ovada, ey, bahar ayları
| While cranes are singing in our plain, O spring months
|
| Gamlı gamlı geçer kara bulutlu Merik dağları
| The gloomy passes the dark cloudy Merik mountains
|
| Kitap kitap okur gider gözlerim eski çağları
| The book reads the book, my eyes go to the ancient times
|
| Edep erkân bizim elde yol olur bahtı karalı
| Decent erkan is the way in our hands, bahti karali

| Happy, heartbroken, years in order, hey, half hey, ah, hey

| The vineyards are grassy, my heart is strong, oh my cruelty, my life,

| Der Mahzuni boz fireli yazılar silindi gitti
| The articles with Der Mahzuni Boz fire have been deleted and gone.
|
| Bir dert yüreğimi aldı sızılar delindi gitti
| A trouble took my heart, the pain went away
|
| Ömrüm kırk yıl daha kattı gaziler gerildi gitti
| My life has added forty more years, veterans got tense and gone
|
| Ne fark eder altun idi, pul idi, çalındı gitti
| What does it matter, it was gold, it was stamps, it was stolen and gone
|
| Allah-ı alem hasılı kelam kalana selam, oy, ömrüm oy
| Allaah, in short, greetings to those who remain, my life, my life.
|
| Allah-ı alem kalana selam, hasılı kelam, oy, ömrüm oy, oy | Peace be upon the rest of the world, in short, the word, vote, my life, vote, vote |
