Ince Memet Turkusu

Ince Memet's Ballad

Ince Memet Turkusu

Ince Memet shouted from his potbellyInce Memet Akgöbekten ünledi
The incense sellers listened carefullyBuhurcular kulak verip dinledi
He took seventeen bullets but didn't dieOnyedi kursunu yedi ölmedi

Grab my hand, Ince Memet, let's go to the mountains, let's go, ohTut elimden Ince Memet gidelim daglar gidelim of
Fate has written this fate, let's confirm it in the mountains, let's confirm, ohFelek yazmis bu yaziyi nidelim daglar nidelim of

A tassel on the horse's neckKir atin boynunda püsküllü koza
My blood dripped onto the grass and dustKanlarim damladi çimene toza
If I survive, I'll ask youKurtulursam eger sorarim size

Grab my hand, Ince Memet, let's go to the mountains, let's go, ohTut elimden Ince Memet gidelim daglar gidelim of
Fate has written this fate, let's confirm it in the mountains, let's confirm, ohFelek yazmis bu yaziyi nidelim daglar nidelim of

The incense sellers came in groupsBuhurcular bölük bölük geldiler
They pierced my chest with holesAkbarimi delik delik deldiler
They took my picture at the wall's baseDuvarin dibinde resmim aldilar

Recognize me on the white paper, let's go to the mountains, ohAk kagit üstünde taniyin beni daglar gidelim of
Fate has written this fate, let's confirm it in the mountains, let's confirm, ohFelek yazmis bu yaziyi nidelim daglar nidelim of
