Çökertme
Çökertme'den Çýktým Da Halil'im
Aman Baþým Selâmet,
Bitez De Yalýsýna Varmadan Halil'im
Aman Koptu Kýyamet.
Arkadaþým Ýbram Çavuþ
Allah'ýma Emanet,
Burasý Da Aspat Deðil Halil'im
Aman Bitez Yalýsý,
Ciðerime Ateþ Sardý,
Telli Kurþun Yarasý.
Güverte De Gezer Ýken
Aman Kunduram Kaydý,
Ýpekli Mendilimi Halil'im
Aman Mor Rüzgâr Aldý.
Çakýr Da Gözlü Gülsüm'ümü
Aman Kolcular Aldý,
Gidelim Gidelim Halil'im
Çökertme'ye Varalým,
Kolcular Gelirse Halil'im
Nerelere Kaçalým.
Teslim Olmayalým Halil'im
Aman Kurþun Sýkalým
Çökertme
I left Çökertme, my Halil,
Oh, keep my head safe,
Before we reach the coast at Bitez, my Halil,
Oh, the apocalypse has struck.
My friend İbrahim the Sergeant,
I entrust you to my God,
This place ain't Aspat, my Halil,
Oh, Bitez coast,
Fire has wrapped around my lungs,
A bullet wound in my chest.
While I was walking on the deck,
Oh, my boat started to drift,
My silk handkerchief, my Halil,
Oh, the purple wind took it away.
They took my beautiful Gülşüm,
Oh, the guards have taken her,
Let's go, let's go, my Halil,
Let's get to Çökertme,
If the guards come, my Halil,
Where the hell do we run?
Let's not give in, my Halil,
Oh, let’s hold on tight.
