My father was a brave manBenim babam mert adamdı
His heart is like a barbecueMangal gibi yüreği
He had a heart like doughYufka gibi kalbi vardı
I've looked up to him all my lifeHayatım boyunca o'na özendim
He was selflessFedakardı

Maybe he didn't have a planted treeBir dikili ağacı olmadı belki
But himselfAma kendisi
living with dignityOnuruyla yaşayan
It was a huge plane treeKoskoca bir çınardı
The arm above me is a wingÜstümdeki kol kanat

It was like the mountain I leaned onSırtımı yasladığım dağ gibiydi
I am my father's sonBen babamın oğluyum
I am Anatolian from head to toeTepeden tırnağa Anadolu'yum
