In the greatest of the mountains, a fire burns
And the lovers sat around it
A day comes and the fickle disperses
When Cemo goes down to the lowland...
Dear dear... dear dear...
With a starred beret on the forehead
And a mauser rifle in the hand
What a beautiful thing to sing a ballad
When you climb to the Dersim mountains..
Ah Cemo!..Dear Cemo..Dear Cemo...
Dear Cemo.. Dear Cemo
The clouds which flourish to the lowland
Is the sign of the storm to break out
In the glory of the great day
The children will dance and celebrate..1
1. Literally "The children will dance the halay.." and halay is a folk dance from Turkey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halay
