Hikaye

Senin dudakların pembe
Ellerin beyaz
Al tut ellerimi bebek
Tut biraz
Benim doğduğum köylerde
Ceviz ağacları yoktu
Ben bu yüzden serinliğe hasretim
Okşa biraz
Benim doğduğum köylerde
Buğday tarlaları yoktu
Dağıt saçlarını bebek
Savur biraz
Benim doğduğum köylerde
Şimal rüzgarları eserdi
Ve bu yüzden dudaklarım çatlaktır
Öp biraz
Benim doğduğum köyleri
Akşamları eşkiyalar basardı
Ben bu yüzden yalnızlığı hiç sevmem
Konuş biraz
Benim doğduğum köylerde
İnsanlar gülmesini bilmezdi
Ben bu yüzden böyle naçar kalmışım
Güldür biraz
Sen Türkiye'm gibi aydınlık ve güzelsin
Benim doğduğum köyler de güzeldi
Sen de anlat doğduğun yerleri
Anlat biraz
Anlat biraz
Anlat biraz
Anlat biraz

Story

Your lips are pink
Your hands are white
Come hold my hands, baby
Hold them for a while
There were no walnut trees
In the village I was born
That's why I crave coolness
Caress me for a while
There were no wheat fields
In the village I was born
Spread your hair out, baby
Scatter it for a while
North winds would blow
In the village I was born
And that's why my lips are cracked
Kiss me for a while
The villages I was born in
Were raided by bandits in the evenings
That's why I don't like loneliness at all
Talk to me for a while
People didn't know how to laugh
In the village I was born
That's why I've become so helpless
Make me laugh for a while
You're bright and beautiful, like my Turkey
The villages I was born in were beautiful too
You tell me about the places you were born
Tell me for a while
Tell me for a while
Tell me for a while
Tell me for a while
