Lyrics and translation Volkan Konak - Halide Destanı

Halide Destanı

Küreklan küresunler
Erzurum'un karini
Boylari gibi narin
Yapsunler mezarini
Arabanin üstüne
Bağladi yatağuni
Ağlamalan tüketti
Zigananun dağıni
Zigananun dağında
Oturdi yemek yedi
Yemeğini yer iken
Silerdi yaşlarini
Ancak mi hatirladi
Küçük kardaşlarini
E Halide Halide da
Oturursun tepede
Senun ikbalun yoktur da
Sebep oldun yiğude
Sevduğum can verurdi
Dünyaya son verurdi
İki tane hemşire
Ağzina su verurdi
Ben o hemşireleri
Arayıp bulacağum
Yarum neler söyledi
Onlara soracağum

Halide's Epic

They shoveled, they piled up
Erzurum's snow
It was as slender as their stature
They built her a tomb
On top of the wagon
They tied her bed
Their weeping exhausted
Mount Zigan's peaks
She sat on Mount Zigan
And ate her meal
As she ate her meal
She dried her tears
Only then did she remember
Her dear little brother
Oh Halide, Halide
You sit on the hilltop
You have no hope
Because of you, the brave one
My beloved gave up his life
He gave up his last breath
Two nurses
Gave him water
I will search and find those nurses
I will ask them
What my beloved said
I will ask them
