Lyrics and Translation SABAHTAN KALKTIM / I WOKE UP IN THE MORNING Sabahtan kalktım güneş parlıyor I woke up early in the morning, sun is shining Çeteler oturmuş Mauser yağlıyor Gangs* are sitting, greasing their Mausers** Anadolu muhaciri yaman ağlıyor Anatolian emmigrant weeps terribly Dininin uğruna ölen yavrular Little kids those died for the sake of their religion Sabahtan kalktım çantama baktım I woke up in the morning; looked at my bag Ağlaya sızlaya boynuma taktım Lamenting and crying I hung it around my neck Malı mülkü canım devlete sattım All my properties, my dear, I sold them to the state Dininin uğruna yiten yavrular Little kids those died for the sake of their religion*** Anadolu içinde yaralı çoktur, In Anatolia there are many casualty Gelme doktor gelme, çaresi yoktur. Don't bother to come doctor, there is no cure for that Bir Allah'tan başka kimsemiz yoktur. We have noone but Allah****; Dininin uğruna yiten yavrular. Little kids those died for the sake of their religion Remarks: *: Original version reads 'Ottoman Soldier' instead of 'Gangs' **: A German rifle trademark *** : In the original version that line reads "And, at the cost of half a bread" ****Allah: Muslim God.
