There is Bazaar of Mirrors in Çanakkale
I am going against enemy lines Mum, oh my lost youth!
There is a tall cypress tree in Çanakkale
Some of us engaged, some married, oh my lost youth!
There is a broken jug in Çanakkale
Mums and Dads lost their hopes, oh my lost youth!
Cannons were settled on outskirts of Çanakkale
Oh my mates fell down over there, oh my lost youth!
Smoke covered over Çanakkale
Division thirteen left to join combat, oh my lost youth!
They shot me in Çanakkale
Put me in a grave alive, oh my lost youth!
The ballad of Çanakkale (Tr. Çanakkale türküsü) is a Turkish folk song which tells about Battle of Gallipoli. It was arranged by Muzaffer Sarısözen by the lyrics which are referred by a local bard Ihsan Ozanoğlu of Kastamonu. Çanakkale should be pronounced as 'Chanakkale' in English.
Çanakkale içinde aynalı çarşı
Ana ben gidiyom düşmana karşı, off, gençliğim eyvah!
Çanakkale içinde bir uzun servi
Kimimiz nişanlı, kimimiz evli, off, gençliğim eyvah!
Çanakkale içinde bir kırık testi
Analar babalar ümidi kesti, off, gençliğim eyvah!
Çanakkale elinde toplar kuruldu
Vay bizim uşaklar orda vuruldu, off, gençliğim eyvah!
Çanakkale üstünü duman bürüdü
On üçüncü fırka harbe yürüdü, off, gençliğim eyvah!
Çanakkale içinde vurdular beni
Ölmeden mezara koydular beni, off, gençliğim eyvah!
