Çalın Davulları [English translation]

Beat the drums downward the creek, for mercy's sake, for mercy's sake!

Dig my grave, (man alive) downward the waist

Immerse me, when the cauldron's full (for mercy's sake!)

Oh, death, tyrant death, have a little break for god's sake!

Take this love away from me, take and give it to my lover

Oh, ending, good old ending, have a little break for god's sake!
