Promenade 16 - Kara Toprak / Aşık Veysel

I hugged many as friends My Faithful Creator is the Black Earth I wandered in vain and got tired in vain My Faithful Creator is the Black Earth

I stayed attached to many beauties I saw no loyalty, nor was I benefited I Got All My Desires from the Earth My Faithful Creator is the Black Earth

Sheep Gave Lamb Gave Milk He gave food He gave bread He gave meat He gave me a scarlet letter when I didn't beat him with a pickaxe My Faithful Creator is the Black Earth

If I Look at the Air, I Get Air If I look at the earth, I receive prayer If I Leave the Earth, Where Will I Stay? My Faithful Creator is the Black Earth

Whoever Becomes the Exemplar of this Secret Leaves an Immortal Work to the World One day, Veysel's bosom will be pressed to his bosom My Faithful Creator is the Black Earth
