Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bin can feda bir tek dostuma
Her kosesi cennetim ezilir yanar icim
Bir baskadir benim memleketim
Lay Lay...
Anadolum bir yanda yigit yasar koynunda
Asiklar destan yazar daglarda
Kuzusuna kurduna Yunus'una Emrah'a
Butun alem kurban benim yurduma
Lay Lay...
Mecnun'a Leyla'sina erisilmez sirrina
Sen dost ararsan kos Mevlana'ya
Yeniden dogdum dersin derya olur gidersin
Bir baskadir benim memleketim
Lay Lay...
Gozu pek yanik bagri turku soyler cobani
Zengin fakir hepside sevdali
Ben gonlumu eylerim gerisi Allah kerim
Bir baskadir benim memleketim
Havasina suyuna tasina topragina
Bin can feda bir tek dostuma
Her kosesi cennetim ezilir yanar icim
Bir baskadir benim memleketim
Lay Lay...
Anadolum bir yanda yigit yasar koynunda
Asiklar destan yazar daglarda
Kuzusuna kurduna Yunus'una Emrah'a
Butun alem kurban benim yurduma
Lay Lay...
Mecnun'a Leyla'sina erisilmez sirrina
Sen dost ararsan kos Mevlana'ya
Yeniden dogdum dersin derya olur gidersin
Bir baskadir benim memleketim
Lay Lay...
Gozu pek yanik bagri turku soyler cobani
Zengin fakir hepside sevdali
Ben gonlumu eylerim gerisi Allah kerim
Bir baskadir benim memleketim
The song "Memleketim" by Ayten Alpman expresses a deep love and connection to one's homeland. The first verse speaks of the natural beauty of the land, including its air, water, stone, and earth. The singer declares that she would give her life for her one true friend. Despite any difficulties or hardships that may be experienced, every corner of her homeland is paradise to her. The refrain "Lay Lay" is a common Turkish expression that means "go to sleep" or "lullaby", and it adds to the nostalgic and soothing tone of the song.
The second verse reflects on the people and culture of Anatolia, a region in Turkey that has a rich history and tradition. Brave warriors are born there, and legendary romances are written in the mountains. The names Yunus and Emrah are mentioned, referring to two famous poets who lived in Anatolia. The singer declares that her homeland is a sacrifice to the whole world, and "kurban" is a term used to describe a sacrificial offering.
