Kara Toprak [English translation]

I expected for many people to be real friends

My faithfull beloved is black soil

i wandered arround with no end, i got tired for nothing

My faithfull beloved is black soil

I dedicated myself for such beautiful ones

I didnt see any loyalty, i didnt find any use

I had everything i want from the soil/earth

My faithfull beloved is black soil

It gave sheep, it gave lamb, it gave milk

ıt gave food, it gave bread, it gave meat

When you didnt peck up the ground, it gave less

My faithfull beloved is black soil

It let my breed come to today till Adam

It feeded me with fruits

ıt carried me on his top everyday

My faithfull beloved is black soil

I cut it open with pickaxe,*

I tore its face with my hands, nails

It again welcomed me with roses

My faithfull beloved is black soil

As i tortured, it used to smile at me

There is no lie in this, everyone saw it

I gave one seed, it gave me four fields inreturn

My faithfull beloved is black soil

If i look up in the sky, i breath

If i look down to the earth, i have others prays

Where will i stay if i leave it

My faithfull beloved is black soil

If you have a wish ask it from God (pray)

Dont go away from the soil to have it (your wish)

Generosity is given to the soil by God

My faithfull beloved is black soil

If you search for truth, here is a clear point

God is close to people, people are close to God

The secret treasure of the God is in soil

My faithfull beloved is black soil

Soil is recovering all the faults we have

It heals my wounds as a medicine

It is waiting me with open arms

My faithfull beloved is black soil

Whom ever learns this secret

S/he leaves an immortal wonder behind for the world

A day comes when it hugs Veysel deeply

My faithfull beloved is black soil
