Translation of the song lyrics Karlı Dağlar - Ahmet Kaya

Karlı Dağlar (original)

Ilgaz dağlarında çocuk doğurdun sen
Memende süt yoktu
Karla doyurdun sen, sen, sen, hey
Sardın, sarmaladın anam
Sırtına vurdun anam, anam
Terketmedin karlı yolları
Sardın, sarmaladın anam
Sırtına vurdun anam, anam
Terketmedin karlı yolları
Yolda çile çeker
Şerife bacım hey
Eller donmuş, gözler çekilmez acı, hey, hey, hey
Çocuğuna değil, değil
Yurduna sancın, anam, anam
Terketmedin karlı yolları
Çocuğuna değil, değil
Yurduna sancın, anam, anam
Terketmedin karlı yolları

(translation)

You gave birth to a child in the Ilgaz mountains
There was no milk in your breast
You satiated with snow, you, you, hey
You wrapped, you wrapped my mother
You hit me on the back mama, mama
You didn't leave the snowy roads
You wrapped, you wrapped my mother
You hit me on the back mama, mama
You didn't leave the snowy roads
He suffers on the road
Hey sister sheriff
Hands frozen, eyes unbearable pain, hey, hey, hey
Not to your child, not
To your homeland, my mother, my mother
You didn't leave the snowy roads
Not to your child, not
To your homeland, my mother, my mother
You didn't leave the snowy roads
