Yare Selam Söyleyin [English translation]

he guzzled water from my hand

his eyes drizzled on rhododendron leaves

returned and looked at me last time when he went

we hugged each other and cried to the end

say hello to darling, birds of the foreign place

did he wipe or dry the tears in his eyes?

say hello to darling, birds of Anatolia

did he wipe or dry the tears in his eyes?

Does he stare into space when he looks away

Does his heart ache like me? Does he think that

his darling has come whenever the doorbell rings

I didn"t forget him does he long for me?

say hello to darling, birds of the foreign place

did he wipe or dry the tears in his eyes?

say hello to darling, birds of Anatolia

did he wipe or dry the tears in his eyes?
