Текст и перевод песни Zulfu Livaneli - Bir Çift Turna

Bir Çift Turna

Bir cift turna geldi Kars illerinden
Öter garip garip bizim ellerde
Evrilir cevrilir göle konmaya
Korkar ki avcý var göllerde
Sakýn hey sevdiðim uðrun kýþýdýr
Yaðmur yaðar cýgalarýn üþüdür
Konup gözmek erenlerin iþidir
Konup göc ki söylenesin dillerde
Eþinden mi ayrýldýn nedir firkatin
Çýk yýldýz daðýna bir semah tutun
Orda bir sultan var ervah-ý zatýn
O seni gecirir coþkun sellerde
Varýp da sýlaya cýkarsan böyle
Kötülük gördüysen iyiliðim söyle
Derdim coktur halim dosta arz eyle
Benim gibi olmuþ var mý kullarda

A Pair of Cranes

A pair of cranes came from the lands of Kars
They sing strangely in our lands
They circle and circle to land on a lake
For they fear that there are hunters in the lakes
Beware, my dear love, the crane's nest is hidden
The rain falls, the storks are cold
To land and watch is the work of the saints
To land and migrate so that you may be spoken of on tongues
Have you been separated from your mate? What is your sorrow?
Go to the starry mountain, hold a semah
There is a sultan there, a spirit-being
He will guide you through the raging floods
If you go and reach your home like this
If you have seen evil, tell of my kindness
My troubles are many, tell my state to a friend
Has there ever been one like me among the slaves?
