Bir Anka Kusu [English translation]

Hundreds of cold barrels were directed to me,

Hundreds of iron triggers were cocked at the same time,

Mother, they shot me in the shadow of the willow,

Your son whom you cherish too much to even kiss was flattened to the ground,

Jackals flocked upon me one by one,

They flocked from all around my chest, my liver,

Mother, they've eaten and sacked me like a carcass,

They threw me in front of you so that you could see me,

I've tasted all, all the pains on this earth,

I've been wasted,

I've put tobacco in my bread,

They've burned me millions of times over and over again,

Like a phoenix, mother, I created myself from ashes,

The nights know me, I settle and migrate,

The nights know me, blood drips and I drink,

Mother, forget me in the heart of darkness,

I sow red and I reap black,

I was caught in the act while sharing my heart,

In the act, they cleaved my wrists with handcuffs,

Mother, I fought for hope from land to land,

I burnt my eyes with a red-hot iron for a pinch of love,

I was Prometheus when he was nailed on the rock,

I had the eagles gnaw my liver,

I was spartacus, in the screams of slavery,

I was fed to the lions, I was consumed,

I was joseph at the bottom of the dry wells,

Husayn, in the karbala desert,

Cem Sultan, in the dungeons,

Pir Sultan, on the gallows,

How many times I died, how many times i resurrected,

I stole fire from the gods,

I caught fire along the centuries, I burned over and over again,

Like a phoenix, mother, like a phoenix

I created myself from my ashes
