Memleketim [English translation]

To its air, for its water, for its stone, for the soil of it,

That so even for my only one friend,thousands times I may be sacrificed my life.

Every corner of it is a paradise for me, I get burn by the yearning,

My homeland is different a bit (than others)

Lay Lay...

Anatolia is in the one side, the brave (ones) lives in (the bosom)

All the lovers write legends so on the mountains.

For its sheeps and wolves and also for its Yunus and Emrah (Johannes Amry and Amirah are great poets)

All the world (universe) has admired to my country.

Lay Lay...

To Madnun and his Laily, that so its secret is not reachable.

So if you look for a friend, run toward Mevlana (Mawlana is a great philosopher),

You'll feel reborn, you'll go getting wisdom..

So my homeland is different.

Lay Lay...

Even its shepherd sings folk songs that fearless and woeful ,

Rich or poor, all them are in love too

I'm amusing my heart such this but for later... ,(God)Allah is great that knows the best of ,

My homeland is different a bit.

Lay Lay...

So my homeland is different
