Söz: Kaygusuz Abdal

All the turtles
Have sprouted wings to fly,
The lizards have gathered
To drink the waters of Crimea.

A flea has loaded
A bag of table salt,
Sometimes it becomes a horse and trots,
Sometimes a bird to fly.

An ant has trampled
The ankle of a camel,
Has carried away a limb,
Then turns and wants to flee.

A grasshopper has sown wheat
In the streams of Manisa,
The mosquitoes have gathered
To toil and drink.

A heron has built a bridge
In one of those streams,
Ducks laden with cargo
Come from there to cross.

The bridge of Ergene
Has dried up from thirst,
The minaret of Edirne
Has bent to drink water.

The words of Kaygusuz
Are the treasures of India,
And with this lie
You say you will go to Paradise.
