Ferda’nın Öyküsü
Yayla kumrusu Ferda
Sözlü topal ağaya
Gelin olsun istemez
Olmaz demiş nikaha
Ağa desen kararlı
Başlık vermiş nişanlı
Demiş Ferda nafakam
Tepe takla sevdalı
Aileler de mutlu
Düğün olsun umutlu
Adet derler Ferda’ya
İşte adet suçluydu
Tahsin komşu yaranı
Ferda ona sevdalı
Tek gönül Tahsin Ferda
Evlenmeğe kararlı
Anlamış işi ağa
Nerde demiş o’n baba
Çıkar ulan parasın
Çürük mal imiş Ferda
Lakin baba harcamış
Başlık-maşlık kalmamış
Bulamayınca çare
Kurşun yemiş zıbarmış
Köyden talep ağaya
İnsaf eyle sevdaya
Helal et davan vazgeç
Feda olma paraya
Tahsin varmış ağaya
Günah demiş davaya
Helal et artık vazgeç
Yoksa mermi kafaya
Ağa epey düşünmüş
Sağa sola götürmüş
Albay Tahsin Jandarma
Helal etmiş yürümüş

LUCY'S STORY
Lucy, the highland dove
Bespoken to a Lame Lord in love
She doesn't want to be his bride
So, she said 'no way' to him, with pride!
But the Lord is a determined bull
He has paid the Bride's Price in full
Said, 'Lucy belongs to me!'
He is cockeyed in love, and so passionately
Both families are happy too
Hopeful for a wedding and beef stew
Told Lucy, its custom and tradition
So, the culprit was human vendition
Reese, a neighbor's boy was an old flame
Lucy, was always in love with him, no shame
The hearts of Reese and Lucy beat together readied
They had long ago made vows to get married!
However, the Lord understood the situation
He asked, 'where is her daddy - in exact location?'
He told her daddy to return his bride-price that was paid
Because his Lucy is not a product virtuous or high-grade!
But her daddy had the money all spent
Left without a penny or a dividend
He couldn't find a good solution
So, he ate the bullet as a restitution
The villagers from the Lord
Asked for mercy and implored:
'Say goodbye and give up your case;
Don't ice love for money, have some grace '
Reese went and saw the Lord spin
He told him that his case was a real sin
'Stand down and bless us lovers;
Or your head, a bullet soon discovers!'
The Lord thought about it a lot
Took it to the left and to the right
Colonel Reese is with the Military Police
In just a minute, the Lord walked away - thrust at peace
