Anahtar [English translation]

She's the most beautiful girl in the class

She goes about alone

Nobody can come near her

Big, big books in her arms again

She's coming from the library again

I saw a volume on mehmet akif the poet

Two big books on sultan mehmet the conqueror

Three thick volumes on mevlana, and one on sinan the architect

She turned to me and said if you love me

If you want to enter my heart

First understand this, listen to me carefully

Five poets are a monument

Two monuments are a sultan

Five sultans are a thinker

And two thinkers are an architect

Think it over and over all night

My heart is a riddle

My heart has a lock

Here is the key for you

What she loves most are mehmet akif the poet,

A monument, sultan mehmet the conquerer

What she says she admires are sinan, and mevlana

That night at home my mother said "son, what's wrong with you

You're off your oats again"

I said, mother, my heart has found its owner now

I'm madly in love

One day she reads akif, another mevlana

She admires the conqueror and sinan

She's interested in both history and art

My mother said "son, don't you get it

Give up this love, the girl is too smart

Oh my dopey boy, oh my boy, don't you get it?"

Love is said to be blind

Maybe my mother is right

It troubles me badly

The girl is very smart

Five akifs is a clock tower

Two towers is a conquerer

Five conquerors is a mevlana

Two mevlanas is a sinan
