Hearts swollen, tears in eyes
Stand at attention and salute the Mehter
Listen to the hymn in peace
History is calling, noise and echo
As you are marching so, with the horsetail standard
Battles of the Turk come to mind
For centuries the frontiers reverberate
East to West, Yemen, Belgrade
Listening, watching eyes see
Fatih entering the city from Topkapi
As you are marching so, with the horsetail standard
Battles of the Turk come to mind
