Madenciden [English translation]

Went down to mining area, black diamond land

In order land surface to be warm may friend

I used a pickaxe in this dark dungeon for years

In order my children to smile my friend

Yet no one smiles in our house

The say walk, walk to dearth

Black diamond became a coffin, they say die if it's needed

Day comes and they say laugh at the weeper

I have no more patience for lies

Today mining area, black diamond land

We didn't go down, greetings to you friend

These pale faces of yearning for light

Strike, strike my friend sun shines

There's nothing to loose

Grinded people underground call earth

They say mines are ours, die if needed

They say Day came, strike my friend

There's nothing to loose

Zonguldak 1

They came from deep inside land

With a continuous underground sun in their hands

No matter how deeply buried

That much insisted not to drawn in their hearts

They came slowly, slowly

Then came every day, increasingly

with women, children and claps

They came like leaven yoghurt

Like splitting and sharing baked breads

Like water, like fire

New mouths added to mouths everyday

Their feet met with new paths

New shells cracked every day

New ears began hearing his words

Became a city, finally

And changed the name of country
