GÝDEBÝLSEM
Gitsem yeniden köyüme,
Tozlu taþlý youlun ucunda
Asmanýn altýnda kahvehane
Bir sade, bir metriyo, bir lokum
Paylaþabilsem yeniden sevgiyi
Diyebilsem Kýbrýs benim Vataným
Gidebilsem yeniden dumanlý daðlarýma
Yokuþlu iniþli yolun ucunda
Bir serin gölge, bir çam
Bülbülün yanýk sesi
Paylaþabilsem doðayý
Diyebilsem Kýbrýs benim vataným
Gitsem yeniden o çeþmeye
Taþlý tepenin yamacýnda
Bir yudum bir içim su
Bir dilim hellimle ekmek
Paylaþabilsem her rýzký
Diyebilsem kýbrýs benim vataným
Gitsem yeniden eski günlere
Bir yortu bir bayram
Çörekler pilavunlar
Kalon paska iyi bayramlar
Paylaþabilsem ellerdeki sýcaklýðý
Diyebilsem Kýbrýs benim vataným

CHRISTMAS WISHES
Could I once more
Go to my village
Over there the dusty stoney road
The coffee house
Under the vine tree;
A cup of coffee ,
Offered in true Cyprus hospitality.
How much I wish to share
Our common love
How much would I wish
To embrace all
As my compatriots
Could I once more
Go to my mountains clad in clouds
Over there the road ascending the hill,
The pine tree with cool breeze
The nightingale twittering gaily
Could I share the nature with all
Could I once more say
Cyprus is my home
How much I wish to go
To the fountain there on the hill
Drink the water to my heart\222s content
A slice of halloumi and bread
Share my food with all
Could I once more say
Cyprus is my home
Could I return once more
To the old days
Shout to everyone;
Happy Bayram
Merry Christmas to all.
How much I wish to share
The smell of newly baked bread.
With all Cypriots
Could I once more say
Cyprus is my home.
