Oh Be [English translation]

I feel like swimming from this island to the Bodrum

Even if I swam I wouldn't be able to get out, oh man*

I feel like becoming a bird and flying to that coast

Even if I flied I wouldn't be able to land, oh man

I was spending nights looking at the Bodrum from an island

I was seeing the lights, oh man

I would've been listening to Türküs**, I would've been smelling the sky

And how much I was missing it, oh man

If I'm a quitter for coming back to my homeland

I returned father, here I've returned, oh man

If I'm a quitter for coming back to my homeland

I returned father, here I've returned, oh man

I feel like swimming from this island to the Bodrum

Even if I swam I wouldn't be able to get out, oh man

I feel like becoming a bird and flying to that coast

Even if I flied I wouldn't be able to land, oh man

I was spending nights looking at the Bodrum from an island

I was seeing the lights, oh man

I would've been listening to Türküs, I would've been smelling the sky

And how much I was missing it, oh man

If I'm a quitter for coming back to my homeland

I returned father, here I've returned, oh man

If I'm a quitter for coming back to my homeland

I returned father, here I've returned, oh man
