(My Steed is Black)
My horse is black, and so am I – oh my, oh my
Oh, my hometown is Ankara – hey, hey
But Ankara can’t hold us back – oh my, oh my
Come on, let’s rise and follow the music – hey, hey
Here, have some nuts and figs
A pillow right beside your head
We fell out with that girl
Like two mules from Malaköy
We slept back-to-back instead
My steed is black as night – oh my, oh my
And my load is raki and wine – hey, hey
If this year goes on like this – oh my, oh my
My poor heart will be in ruin
Pastry made of kadayıf threads
This is the kind of joy we need
Pour the raki into glasses
And may a shovel fall on the head
Of anyone who waters down our fun
(Graceful Walk)
Come from afar,
My dark-eyed love from the wilderness
My lion, sway and come closer
I’ve heard the news about you and the lonely shepherd
My lion, sway and come closer
Graceful, graceful, step and step
Crisscross, crisscross, step and step
Softly, slowly, take each step
My love lies sleeping by the spring
My lion, sway and come closer
Sleep has covered her hazel eyes
My lion, sway and come closer
Graceful, graceful, step and step
Crisscross, crisscross, step and step
Softly, slowly, take each step
(Swing It)
I herd the black sheep
And come to be by your side
Haven’t seen you for so long
Where have you been, my beauty?
Swing this way, swing that way
Twist and turn, swirl and sway
However much you sway
You’ll be mine in the end
I came from the road, I’m tired
Girl, I’m in love with you
Where are you coming from?
I’m your Michael Jordan too
Swing this way, swing that way
Twist and turn, swirl and sway
However much you sway
You’ll be mine in the end
Swing this way, swing that way
Twist and turn, swirl and sway
If you don’t swing, my dark-haired girl
I’ll be upset, just so you know
