Ali Paşa Ağıtı Lyrics English Translation

Arpa ektim, biçemedim
I sowed barley but could not reap it
Bir düs gördüm, seçemedim
I had a dream, I couldn't choose
Alismisim soguk suya
I'm used to cold water
Issi sudan içemedim
I couldn't drink the wet water
Üç atim var, biri binek
I have three horses, one is a mount
Arkadaslar kalkin gidek
Friends, get up and go

Pasa wears two furs
Biri samur biri tilki
One is a sable, the other is a fox
