Lyrics and translation Erol Köker - Estergon Kalası

Estergon Kalası

Estergon kalesi subaşı durak
Kemirir gönlümü bir sinsi firak
Gönül yar peşinde yar ondan ırak
Akma Tuna akma ben bir dertliyim
Yar peşinde koşan kara bahtlıyım
Estergon kalesi subaşı kaya
Kemirir gönlümü aşk denen bela
Üftadeni hoşgör gel etme cefa
Akma Tuna akma ben bir dertliyim
Yar peşinde koşan kara bahtlıyım
Estergon kalesi subaşı hisar
Baykuşlar çağrışır bülbüller susar
Kafir bayrağını burcuna asar
Akma Tuna akma ben bir dertliyim
Yar peşinde koşan kara bahtlıyım

Estergon Fortress

In Estergon Fortress, the commander's lookout
A secret seperation gnaws at my heart
My heart longs for the one of my affection, who is distant
Don't flow, Danube, don't flow, I'm a man in pain
I'm the one with the dark fate, chasing after my love
In Estergon Fortress, the commander's rock
The torment called love gnaws at my heart
Forgive my impudence, don't be cruel
Don't flow, Danube, don't flow, I'm a man in pain
I'm the one with the dark fate, chasing after my love
In Estergon Fortress, the commander's castle
Owls hoot while nightingales are silent
The infidel's flag flies from its tower
Don't flow, Danube, don't flow, I'm a man in pain
I'm the one with the dark fate, chasing after my love
