Текст и перевод песни Ayten Alpman - Memleketim

Memleketim

Havasina suyuna tasina topragina
Bin can feda bir tek dostuma
Her kosesi cennetim ezilir yanar icim
Bir baskadir benim memleketim

Lay Lay...

Anadolum bir yanda yigit yasar koynunda
Asiklar destan yazar daglarda
Kuzusuna kurduna Yunus'una Emrah'a
Butun alem kurban benim yurduma

Lay Lay...

Mecnun'a Leyla'sina erisilmez sirrina
Sen dost ararsan kos Mevlana'ya
Yeniden dogdum dersin derya olur gidersin
Bir baskadir benim memleketim

Lay Lay...

Gozu pek yanik bagri turku soyler cobani
Zengin fakir hepside sevdali
Ben gonlumu eylerim gerisi Allah kerim
Bir baskadir benim memleketim

Lay Lay...
Bir baskadir benim memleketim

My Homeland

I'd give a thousand lives for its air, water, stones, and soil,
For my one and only friend.
My heart aches and burns for every corner of it,
My homeland is another.

Lay Lay...

Anatolia, where brave men live on one side,
Troubadours write epics on the mountains.
To its lamb, its wolf, its Yunus, its Emrah,
The whole world is sacrificed to my country.

Lay Lay...

Leyla's secret cannot be reached by Mecnun,
If you seek a friend, run to Mevlana.
You will be reborn, you will become a river,
My homeland is another.

Lay Lay...

The shepherd with a heavy heart sings folk songs,
Rich and poor are all in love.
I will make my heart content, the rest is up to Allah,
My homeland is another.

Lay Lay...
My homeland is another.
