Istırabı gülsuyuna bandılarGülüm seni arar oldum nerdesinAyrılığı altın tasta sundularÖlüm seni arar oldum nerdesin
Ardı olmayanın derdi çok olurLeşini yemeye kurdu çok olurÖmrü sürgün geçer yurdu çok olurElim seni arar oldum nerdesin
Memleketim Maraş Emekçi adımYoruldu gençliğim yoruldu tadımKendimi kimseye anlatamadımDilim seni arar oldum nerdesin
They dipped the agony into rosewaterMy rose,I've been looking for you where are youThey offered the separation in a golden bowlDeath,I've been looking for you,where are you
Someone without background has a lot of troublehas got a lot of wolves waiting for to eat his carcaseHis life is spent in exile and his country disappearsMy hand,I've been looking for you where are youMy village,I've been looking for you where are you
Maraş is my hometown,Proletarian is my nameMy youthfulness tired my taste tiredI couldn't express myself to nobodyMy tongue,I've been looking for you where are you
