Tьrk-Ermeni зatэюmalarэnэn sцzlь tarihinden bize bir aрэt kalmэю:



Amir memur demeyerek

Hep bir ipe baрladэlar

Bekiroрlu Deda'yэ

Demirinen daрladэlar.



Without distinguishing superior or employe

They tied them all with a rope

And with a hot iron

They branded Deda, the son of Bekir.

Sekiz gвvur bir gelince

Osmanэmэ юaюэrdэlar

Baban зetebaюэ deyi

Hac'Ahmedi piюirdiler.



When eight Armenians come at the same time

They confused my Osman

They alleged that his father was the chief bandit

So they boiled Hacэ Ahmet.

Meydan kazanэ kurdular

Bebekleri kaynattэlar

Gьn gцrmedik hanэmlarэ

Sьngьyьnen oynattэlar



They set up a huge cauldron

They boiled the babies there

They made sheltered women

Dance at the end of a bayonet.

Kele dudu kele Dudu

Kanlэ gцynek yu diyorlar

Bebekleri kaynatmэюlar

"Kuzu eti" ye diyorlar



Oh Dudu! Oh Dudu!

They tell you wash the bloody shirts

They boiled the babies

This is lamb meat, eat it, they say.

Baюkatibi цldьrdьler

Deyneрinen dцрe dцрe

Kьrt Genco'yu yьzьyorlar

Цzne gibi ova ova



They killed the chief clerk

Beating him with a stick

They are skinning Genco,the Kьrd

By rubbing him again and again like a corp

Topuzunan dцрьyorlar

Enfiyeci Hцssьyьnь

Tellerinen boрuyorlar.



They are beating record clerk Mehmet

With a mace

They are strangling snufseller Hцssьyьn (Hьseyin)

With a wire.

Hacin oldu kanlэ kuyu

Uyu Kar(a)'Osman'эm uyu

Hьcum oldu alэnmadэ

Yэkэlasэn Sultansuyu.



The village of Hacin (Saimbeyli now)

Became a well full of blood

We attacked but we could't take it back

So damn you the Sultan creek.
