Lyrics and translation Altin Gün - Kara Toprak

Kara Toprak

Dost dost diye nice nicesine sarıldım
Dost dost diye nice nicesine sarıldım
Benim sadık yarim kara topraktır
Dost dost diye nice nicesine sarıldım
Dost dost diye nice nicesine sarıldım
Benim sadık yarim kara topraktır
Beyhude dolandım ey yâr boşa yoruldum
Benim sadık yarim kara topraktır
Kara topraktır
Nice güzellere ne yâr bağlandım kaldım
Nice güzellere ne yâr bağlandım kaldım
Ne bir vefa gördüm, ne faydalandım
Her türlü isteğimi yâr topraktan aldım
Benim sadık yarim kara topraktır
Kara topraktır

Black Earth

My love, my love, to many I have clung, calling them friend
My love, my love, to many I have clung, calling them friend
My only true love is the black earth
My love, my love, to many I have clung, calling them friend
My love, my love, to many I have clung, calling them friend
My only true love is the black earth
For you, my love, I have wandered in vain, exhausted myself in vain
My only true love is the black earth
Black earth
To many beauties, to many lovers, I have remained attached, loyal
To many beauties, to many lovers, I have remained attached, loyal
Neither loyalty nor benefit have I found
From the earth, my love, I have received all that I desire
My only true love is the black earth
Black earth
