Üzüm gözlü Hidayet
Hele bir gör kızıl üzüm asmayı
Nevşehir'de avizeler sarsmayı
Baldan tatlı üzümlerin salkımı
Kara burcu beyaz buzgu bağlarda
Bozcaada pembe çavuş ambarda
Kopar kopar üzüm gözlü Hidayet
Bir ’he’ dîver sensin ümit sen devlet
Mis üzümü aşık Hüsam vefakâr
Gül üzümü viran yâre ol diyar
Kara sakız hoş kokulu şıradar
Hadi bir gel keten gömlek toplarız
Hafız ali balbal ister soframız
Kopar kopar üzüm gözlü Hidayet
Bir ’he’ dîver sensin ümit sen devlet

PEARL'S EYES AND GREEN GRAPES
Just look at the red grapes on the vine
Chandeliers in Nevşehir shaking simply fine
Bunch of grapes sweeter than honey
Black Bush and White Ice
still in the vineyards are Yummy!
But Bozcaada and Pink Sergeant
now in the warehouse are for me!
Pearl, with her greenish eyes
Plucks grapes with a smile:
A 'Yes!' from her lips is hope as my prize,
A ridiculous lover really gone wild!
Sweet grapes called Sam Hood,
for the bard, are royal
But Rose grapes are friends of desolate lands,
yet joyful
Black Gum produces pleasantly scented juice
as a cordial
Come on, let's collect the Flax Vested grapes
that are forever loyal
But our table needs the Reverend Ollie Honeywell,
the kind that is auroral!
Pearl, with her greenish eyes
Plucks grapes with a smile:
A 'Yes!' from her lips is hope as my prize,
A ridiculous lover really gone wild!
Not: Çok sevdiğim üzüm çeşitlerine bir methiye.
Note: A tribute to my favorite grape varieties.
