For Fuck's Sake
Love is a fire that burns, a wind that blows
Don't get too close - it'll hit your head
I'll put a rose on your collar, you swing it and I'll take a look
In for a penny, in for a pound then, for fuck's sake!*
I can't grind the fruit, I can't boil the fallen [fruit]
I can't go back, there's no starting over
I'll put a rose on your collar, you swing it and I'll take a look
In for a penny, in for a pound then, for fuck's sake!
We were crossing mountains, we were running through the countryside
They broke us up, and to think just how beautiful we lived!
I'll put a rose on your collar, you swing it and I'll take a look
In for a penny, in for a pound then, for fuck's sake!
Who knows just how intense the love in your heart is
Like dry leaves, yellowing and withering
I'll put a rose on your collar, you swing it and I'll take a look
In for a penny, in for a pound then, for fuck's sake!
[A love] that does not surprise the wrong, that does not exceed limits
That does not pour its heart out to those lacking in beauty
I'll put a rose on your collar, you swing it and I'll take a look
In for a penny, in for a pound then, for fuck's sake!
Are you always this alive, are you a master of horon?
Do you know how this will end, my coy (little) one?
I'll put a rose on your collar, you swing it and I'll take a look
In for a penny, in for a pound then, for fuck's sake!
You've been staring since facing each other at the horon
Then you came and took my arm - are you going to crush it?
I'll put a rose on your collar, you swing it and I'll take a look
In for a penny, in for a pound then, for fuck's sake!
I'll braid your hair, I'll part it up
Now that the enemies have parted, let me see you(r smile) clearly
I'll put a rose on your collar, you swing it and I'll take a look
In for a penny, in for a pound then, for fuck's sake!

A Man Among Men
There's a man who works wonders in his world
While many gives up before making a halfway
While many looks like a man yet made of straw
It's the man among men who blusters for real
I've met a young men, just as kind as it should be
Only the chief deserves such respect
There are two-faced men, shameless chameleons
Ignorants of honour, disgrace to the world
While some rat his own brother out and call himself a man
It's the man among men who sacrifices himself for a fellow
There are men making the troubles, though stand out
Cover his all tracks up and blow hot and cold
There are common men and also outstanding ones
I know a man whose blood is worth bottling
It's the man among men who you can always ask a favor of
Who doesn't kneel down before no one but God
Being a man is in one's self, much of it is a virtue
It's a great responsibility to be a chief for the society

I asked her father for her
I asked her father for her, he said 'my daughter's too young'
I asked her mother for her, she said she has no dowry
I asked her sister for her, she said she has many lovers
I asked her brother for her, he said 'we have no girl for you'
I asked her paternal uncle for her, he said I cannot ask for her
I asked her maternal uncle, she said 'we're not sacrificing the offspring'
I asked her paternal aunt for her, she said there is no leaving the village
I asked her maternal aunt for her, she said there is no husband for her
I asked her grandpa for her, he said 'kidnap her'
I talked to the mayor, he said 'I can't put the seal'
I talked to his councillor, he said 'I can't sign'
I talked to her master, he said 'I can't bless the wedding'
I talked to her brother-in-law, he said 'I'm undecided yet'
I asked her sister-in-law for her, she said 'I'm neutral'
I talked to her neighbour, she said 'don't pass here'
I asked her sister Fatma, she said she went to the wood
With a gun by my side I hit the road
In the depths of the wood I was there with my beloved one
The wood is far from the village, let us not fall into a trap
We came to the heart of the wood arm in arm
She used a sickle, I used a knife
