Kara Değil Mi [English translation]

Charming lady who calls me black

Aren't your eyes black

Pretty faced bride

Aren't your brows black?

Don't condemn me for being black

My Lord created, don't despise me

The eyeliner that adorns the hazel eye

Isn't that black?

It's grinded in India and Yemen

Poured upon Baghdad

Sprinkled on a variety of food

Isn't pepper black too?

Camp in foreign lands and migrate

Harvest tulip and grains

Lords and sires drink it

Isn't coffee black too?

Karac'oglan (Black Boy) says God willing

Those who see should say praise God

God's house Kaaba covered in black

Isn't its garment black too?
