Zahidem (with Tolga Kahraman)

Zahide kurbanım ne olacak halim
Gene bir laf duydum kırıldı belim
Gelenden gidene haber sorayım
Zahide bu hafta oluyor gelin
Hezeli dedeli gönül hezeli
Çiçekdağı da döktü m'ola gazeli
Dolaştım alemi gurbet gezeli
Bulamadım Zahidem'den güzeli
Gurbet ellerinde esirim esir
Zahide kurbanım hep bende kısır
Eğer anan seni bana verirse
Nemize yetmiyor bu ev kadar hasır

Zahidem (with Tolga Kahraman)

Zahide, my love, what will become of me
I heard another word that broke my back
I'll ask everyone who comes and goes
Zahide is getting married this week
My heart is filled with anguish and sorrow
Has Çiçekdağı been raining lately
I've wandered the world, a stranger in a strange land
But I've never found anyone as beautiful as Zahide
A prisoner in foreign lands, my heart aches
Zahide, my love, always a stranger to my touch
If your mother would only give you to me
Why can't we make a home with just these simple mats
