Karlı kayın ormanı [English translation]

In the "Karlı Kayın (snowy beech)" forest

I'm walking in the middle of the night

I'm doleful, I'm doleful

Give me your hand, where is your hand

Is the hometown or the stars (on the sky)

Or is my youth, which one is further?

In the midst of beeches

There is a window, yellow and warm (maybe friendly also)

If only while I'm passing by there

Someone would say "Uncle! (like hey mister but in a friendly but still respectful way), come inside."

I would go in and greet ( greet in a friendly way again)

All the people inside the place

At my seven-hill city (=Istanbul)

I left my bud rose

Neither to scare of dying is a shame

Nor thinking about death
