Original lyrics

Sivastopol Marşı (Sevastopol)

Sivastopol önünde yatar gemiler

Atar da Nizam topunu, yerle gök inler

Yardımcıdır bize Kırklar, Yediler

Aman da kaptan paşa izin ver bize

Sılada nişanlımız duacı size

Sivastopol önünde yıkık minare

Düşman dedikleri gelmez imane

Erenler geliyor bize imdade

Aman da kaptan paşa izin ver bize

Sılada nişanlımız duacı size

Sivastopol önünde musalla taşı

Sırma kılıç kuşanmış Arap binbaşı

Ölürsek şehidiz, kalırsak gazi

Aman da kaptan paşa izin ver bize

Sılada nişanlımız duacı size

English

Translation

March of Sivastopol

Ships sit before Sivastopol

Earth and sky groans as it shoots the Nizam cannonball¹

Earth and sky groans as it shoots the Nizam cannonball

Kırklar² and Yediler³ are our helper

Kırklar and Yediler are our helper

Oh captain pasha(Admiral) allow us

Our fiancee in homeland, prays for you

Ruined minaret in front of Sivastopol

Who they call enemy does not become righteous⁴

Who they call enemy does not become righteous

Erenler(Saints) are coming to our help

Saints are coming to our help

Oh captain pasha(Admiral) allow us

Our fiancee in homeland, prays for you

Coffin rest in front of Sivastopol

Arab Major equips a silver threaded sword

We are martyrs if we die, ghazi(veteran) if stay

We are martyrs if we die, ghazi if stay

Oh captain pasha(Admiral) allow us

Our fiancee in homeland, prays for you

¹Nizam topu: Greatest cannonballs in Ottoman warships.
²Kırklar: 40 Saints who live in an unknown place.
³Yediler: There are different explanations about this. Some says they are 7 prophets who are given a mission, some say they are bards.
⁴İmana gelmek: This actually translates as "come to faith" but in Turkish "İmana gelmek" is often used to mean "See reason, give in etc..."
