Çanakkale Türküsü (Gallipoli Song)

Lyrics
Lyrics in TurkishEnglish translation
Çanakkale içinde aynalı çarşı
Ana ben gidiyom düşmana karşı, off, gençliğim eyvah!

Çanakkale içinde bir ağaç servi
Kimimiz nişanlı, kimimiz evli, off, gençliğim eyvah!

Çanakkale içinde bir kırık testi
Analar babalar ümidi kesti, off, gençliğim eyvah!

Çanakkale elinde toplar kuruldu
Vay bizim uşaklar orda vuruldu, off, gençliğim eyvah!

Çanakkale üstünü duman bürüdü
On üçüncü fırka harbe yürüdü, off, gençliğim eyvah!

Çanakkale içinde vurdular beni
Ölmeden mezara koydular beni, off, gençliğim eyvah!

There is a massive bazaar in Chanakkale
Mother I got going against the enemy, oh, my pitiful youth!

There is a cypress tree with one fang in Chanakkale
Some of us engaged, some others married, oh, my pitiful youth!

There is a broken jug in Chanakkale
Mothers and fathers gave up hoping of us, oh, my pitiful youth!

Cannons were settled on the grounds of Chanakkale
Our comrades were hit on there also, oh, my pitiful youth!

It has covered above Chanakkale by smoke
Thirteenth divisions have come over the enemy, oh, my pitiful youth!

They have shot me in Chanakkale
They have buried me but alive, oh, my pitiful youth!
