Memleket Kokulu Yarim - Zülfü Livaneli

Deniz bile aci çeker ah agapimou

Gözlerinden yaslar döker

Benim bu derdim gizli kalmaz sevdigim

Figan ile basimdan tüter

Kara gözlerine hayran oldugum

Memleket kokulu yarim

Kirik dillerine meftun oldugum

Saçina gül takili yarim

Deniz bile sahit olmazsa ah agapimou

Memleket hasreti öyle basti sevdigim

Biçaklar saplandi yüregime

Kara gözlerine, kara gözlerine

Kayiklar kiyidan ayrilirken ah agapimou

Sanki canim tenimden ayrildi

Bir de baktim sevdigim bizim daglarimizdan

Masmavi bir kus havalandi

Kara gözlerine, kara gözlerine

Even the sea suffers ah agapimou

She sheds tears from her eyes

This problem of mine will not be kept secret, my love

I'm smoking with Figan

I admire your black eyes

hometown scented half

I'm fascinated by Kirik tongues

Half with a rose in your hair

If even the sea does not witness ah agapimou

The longing for the homeland has hit so hard, my love

Knives stuck in my heart

Your black eyes, your black eyes

As the boats leave the shore ah agapimou

It's like my soul has left my skin

And I looked at one of our mountains that I love

A blue bird took flight

Your black eyes, your black eyes
