Sarı Çizmeli Mehmet Ağa [English translation]

Write down friend

Would you call him a man if he doesn't like the fair?

Write down friend

Would you call him gallant if he doesn't recieve salute?

Write down friend

Does it worth just for a 5 meter long fabric?

Write down friend

Would you call it life if it is spent in vain?

Write again to the board, grab your books and notebooks

Mehmet the landowner with yellow wellingtons,

Some day sure he'll pay his debt

Write down friend

If you see a needy feed him with kajmak and honey

Write down friend

Dress up the poor with silk and shawl

Write down friend

If you see an orphan wrap him tight with your arms

Write down friend

Nobody departs from this world with their belongings

Write again to the board, grab your books and notebooks,

Mehmet the landowner with yellow wellingtons,

Some day sure he'll pay his debt

Write down friend

Barış talks but does he learn a lesson from it

Write down friend

Does it remain if you write on the water

Write down friend

A world where right and wrong got mixed up

Write down friend

You can't fill the empty, could you fill the full?

Write again to the board, grab your books and notebooks,

Mehmet the landowner with yellow wellingtons,

Some day sure he'll pay his debt
