Kediler [English translation]

Once upon a time

The griddle in the straw

In a nearby country not so far

Cute, docile, tiny eyed

The small cats had lived.

Their meals were common, beds were one

Their joys were belong all of them

Smoke-colored, fawn-colored

The small cats had lived.

At the side of nearby country

While turning the bend

On the right side of the winds

On the left side of the forests

Noisy, ambitious, huge eyed

There were big cats.

By reading in the mornings

By thinking in the evenings

By talking during the days

By working during the nights

Their tired eyes, swollen hands

There were big cats.

You, fellows!

Which cats do you like?

Like which cats

would you like to live?

Cute, docile, noisy, ambitious

Which cats are you from?
