Original lyrics

Arkadaşım Eşek

Kaç yıl oldu saymadım köyden göçeli

Mevsimler geldi geçti görüşmeyeli

Hiç haber göndermedin o günden beri

Yoksa bana küstün, mü unuttun mu beni?

Dün yine seni andım gözlerim doldu

O tatlı günlerimiz bir anı oldu

Ayrılık geldi başa katlanmak gerek

Seni çok çok özledim, arkadaşım eşek

Arkadaşım eş arkadaşım şek arkadaşım eşek

Yaban tayları çayırda tepişiyor mu

Çilli horoz kedilerle dövüşüyor mu

Sarıkız minik buzağıyı sütten kesti mi

Kuzularla oğlaklar sevişiyor mu

Uzun kulaklarını son bir kez salla

Tüm eski dostlarımdan bir haber yolla

Ayrılık geldi başa katlanmak gerek

Seni çok çok özledim, arkadaşım eşek

Arkadaşım eş arkadaşım şek arkadaşım eşek

My Good Old Friend Donkey

Been years ever since I left the town, how can I forget?

Seasons came and passed us by ever since we last met

I got no news or word from you ever since that day

Have you gotten mad at me? Are you glad that I'm away?

Yesterday the good old days hit me like a wall

The sweet times are no longer here, just memories I recalled

And though we have to cope with it, the road will be rocky

Oh how much I miss you my good old friend, donkey

Good old friend donk- good old friend -key good old friend donkey

Do wild foals stomp and jump and kick amidst the plains of grass

Does the freckled rooster put up a fight with the cats

Does the big old cow wean its very own calf

Do the lambs and the goats regularly make love

Wave those long ears of yours for me, just one last time

I expect some news and word from those old buddies of mine

And though we have to cope with it, the road will be rocky

Oh how much I miss you my good old friend, donkey

Good old friend donk- good old friend -key good old friend donkey
