My homeland
For the air, for the water, for the stone, for the soil of it,
Thousands of lives are sacrificed for just my one friend.
Every corner of it is a paradise for me, i yearn for it,
My homeland is so different.
Lay Lay...
My Anatolia is the side where brave people live,
The lovers write legends on the mountains.
For its sheeps and wolves, for its Yunus and Emrah,
The universe is sacrificed for my homeland.
Lay Lay...
To its Mecnun and Leyla, its secret is not reachable.
If you need a friend, run to Mevlana,
You feel reborn, you get wisdom.
My homeland is so different.
Lay Lay...
Its fearless shepard with his grief sings a türkü*,
Rich or poor, all the people are in love,
I console myself, Allah is great,
My homeland is so different.
Lay Lay...
My homeland is so different.
