Vatan Gözlüm [English translation]

I am the sword, you are the sheath, hide me, enshroud me

Hide me, enshroud me

You are more near to me than I am, ask your heart about me

Ask your heart about me

My homeland-eyed where are you?

Did you become unfaithful too?

I’m in trouble, look at me

Thieves beleaguered, come

Don’t hand over to the tyrants, come

Shoot me with your eyes!

My homeland-eyed where are you?

Did you become unfaithful too?

I’m in fire, look at me

Thieves beleaguered, come

Don’t hand over to the tyrants, come

Shoot me with your eyes!

They shot our passion, the more life was in our hearts

They read our salutation

A passion is freezing, come, a heart is freezing, come

Let the fire burn, make me glow

My homeland-eyed where are you?

Did you become unfaithful too?

I’m in fire, look at me

Thieves beleaguered, come

Don’t hand over to the tyrants, come

Shoot me with your eyes!
