Malabadi Lyrics English Translation

Malabadi köprüsü Malabadi köprüsü
Malabadi bridge Malabadi bridge
Orda başladı bitti bu garibin öyküsü
This poor guy's story started and ended there.
Karşıki aşiretten bir kıza gönül verdi
He fell in love with a girl from the opposite tribe
Aşkı uğruna her gün o köprüye giderdi
He would go to that bridge every day for the sake of his love
Siirt'in dağlarında uçan kuşu vururdu
He used to shoot birds flying in the mountains of Siirt
Fatma'yı okşadıkça gayri sükun bulurdu
As he caressed Fatma, he found peace.
Oooffff garibim of, oooffff garibim of
Oooffff I'm poor, oooffff I'm poor
Kara tahtlı şeyh derler fatmanın babasına
They call Fatma's father the sheikh with the black throne
Katı ve insafsızdı bu aşkın karşısında
He was harsh and merciless in the face of this love
Kararlıydı zalim Şeyh onları öldürmeye
The cruel Sheikh was determined to kill them
Yine bir seher vakti pusu kurdu köprüye
Once again, he ambushed the bridge at dawn.
Tabancalar patladı sevgililer susmuştu
The guns went off, the lovers were silent
Malabadi köprüsü aşka mezar olmuştu
Malabadi Bridge became a grave for love
Oooffff garibim of, oooffff garibim of
Oooffff I'm poor, oooffff I'm poor
