Güzel Hayat

Dağlarda tüter duman

Gönlüme tütsü derman

Sevdiğim börek açmış

Muhabbet sohbet zaman

Kaç defa güneş doğmuş

Dünyaya hükmün koymuş

Müslüman dini haktır

Bulutlar secde olmuş

Peynirsiz börek yenmez

Ayransız öğlen denmez

Mukaddes sofra kurmuş

Akraba dosta pekmez

Oniki evlat verdi

Tereyağ balla serdi

Yalan yok bizde hürmet

Yirmidört torun geldi

Her günüm cümbüş bayram

Gelin bana hep hayran

Ellibeş sene onla

Kur’an namaz ve sevdam

BEAUTIFUL LIFE

The smoke that billows in the mountains

Like incense, its a cure for my heart and its phantoms

My favorite pastry is rolled out

Its a chat chat time with my beloved, no doubt!

Who knows how many times the sun has risen?

The Creator lights up the souls of those with a vision

Submission to the Will of God is, therefore the Right Mission

As the clouds are the prayer rugs on site, for the holy rite

They too, have to kiss the earthly ground we kneel on, God's sight

A pastry without cheese, it is not yummy nor terrific!

And lunch, it is not complete without some buttermilk!

The Sacred One, blessed the world with tables, chairs, plates and glasses

For friends and relatives to enjoy our treats with warm molasses!

She gave birth to twelve of my children, sonny!

She served bread with butter and a lot of honey!

There are no secrets or lies between us, we have respect:

Twenty-four grandchildren arrived as a proof of that, in every aspect!

For me every day is a holiday and it is so much fun

My bride always admires me, she is my one and only loved one

We've been together now for fifty-five years

Along with the Holy Book, daily prayers, lots of love and cheers!
