Ankara Sokakları [Bu mendili] [English translation]

This is a memory of Ankara

It is an affair of Ankara

Many years ago the young boys

In the fastest time in Kızılay

While they were penetrating their fastest memories

to the pavements of Kızılay

Size by size, boys from every size

Before starting the fastest situations

Looking at each other

Ne ne yağlıca yağ yağ

Ya ya ah gidi gidi meh meh

This is a style of Ankara

It is from Ankara

It is new or old, what matters ?

I, we, they

Ha... and one more

In the fastest time of Kızılay

We loved each other

You and me

Maybe too early

But we were very near to each other

A girl and a boy

We fell like an avalanche on Ankara

Ah...who invented this handkerchief...

Ne ne yağlıca yağ yağ

Ya ya ah gidi gidi meh meh

Pavements are mute, they can't say

We can say how we passed on them

We ate bread from the bakery at dawn

We drank, we loved, we were loved

Actually if we try to tell our story

The brain of time stops, seas get dry

Peh peh peh

Before starting the fastest situations

Looking at each other

Ah...who invented this handkerchief...

Ne ne yağlıca yağ yağ

Ya ya ah gidi gidi meh meh
