| Gurbetluk (original) | Gurbetluk (translation) |
|---|---|
| Derdumi yazacağum | I will write my problem |
| Gürgen ağaçlarina | to hornbeam trees |
| Benden selamlar olsun | greetings from me |
| Yaylanun kuşlarina | To the birds of the plateau |
| Ne ettumse olmadi | What did not happen |
| Boş kuyiler dolmadi | Empty wells are not filled |
| Ne edeyim sevduğum | What can I do my love |
| Hiç ikbalum olmadi | I've never had a reward |
| Hiç ikbalum yoğidi | There was no ikbalum |
| Benum yuzum gülmedi | my face did not smile |
| Kadifeden elbisem | My velvet dress |
| Giydumda buyuk oldi | It was great when I wore it |
| Gene aldi bi efkar | Gene took an afkar |
| Doldi gozlerum doldi | My eyes are full |
| Biçtum yeşil çimeni | I cut the green grass |
| Kalaş vursun kurusun | Let the Kalash dry |
| Ben köyde çiledeyim | I'm in pain in the village |
| Sen gurbette durursun | You stay abroad |
