Sardunyaya Ağıt [English translation]

At five o'clock in the mid-afternoon

With Rıza the Headguard on duty,

A darkness filled the ward

At five o'clock in the mid-afternoon

We kept watching the rampage

After arresting the geranium,

They tucked it to the lockup

At five o'clock in the mid-afternoon

An abettor it was, obviously,

Spreading rumors and hashish were its crimes

It also had something to do with the Reds, for sure

At five o'clock in the mid-afternoon

The coast is again clear

The warden is stuck-up in his chair

The flower is manacled

At five o'clock in the mid-afternoon

Eyes of the beloved are wet

In their minds, their comrade on its way to the gallows.

In struggle with the green death

At five o'clock in the morning
