    Slm

    Can anybody provide me with the literary translation of those lyrics in English... Thanx in advance!!!

    Sıra sıra göç gidiyor
    Bomboş kalmış bizim köyler
    Yedi dağa çalım satan
    Hani nerde ağa beyler

    Munzurum coşmuş ağlıyor
    Feryadı yürek dağlıyor
    Evim barkım göç gidiyor
    Ben ölmem lo ben ölmedim

    Kurumuş çeşme dereler
    Lal olmuş konuşmaz diller
    Köyden köye gidip gelen
    Hani nerde o erenler.

    Sıra sıra göç gidiyor
    Row upon row migrating goes
    Bomboş kalmış bizim köyler
    Very-empty remained our villages
    Yedi dağa çalım satan
    Selling the edge of a scimitar to seven mountains (= Swaggering around to everyone)
    Hani nerde ağa beyler
    Where are those (selling) lord sirs?

    Munzurum coşmuş ağlıyor
    My Munzur (= name of some hills) got excited, is crying
    Feryadı yürek dağlıyor
    The heart wounds/cauterises the complaint/cry
    Evim barkım göç gidiyor
    My house, my dwelling migrating goes
    Ben ölmem lo ben ölmedim
    I ain't dying, yoho, I did not die

    Kurumuş çeşme dereler
    Fountain, stream are dry
    Lal olmuş konuşmaz diller
    Ruby became unspeaking tongues
    Köyden köye gidip gelen
    The ones, who come and go from village to village
    Hani nerde o erenler.
    So where, where are those saints?


    I translated it as literally as possible.
    - Racism is not far, it is in everybody's nature. Detect thy fears, thy prejudices, and live in unison with these fears and every being that does not harm thee.
