Eren Bülbül'e Ağıt

ODE TO EREN BÜLBÜL

You were still so innocent, so young
A bullet from traitors pierced your lung
From earth to heaven fell another trunk
Your sad song will always be sung

It is so good not to have died in vain
You would feel neither regret nor pain
Matyrdom is the most important gain
In a bed of flowers you have lain

Never worry about your death, Eren
You'll get the best place in the heaven
Rest in peace, and feel no grief
You can be sure that we'll get even

Your surname Bülbül means nightingale
Be cursed those who left you pale
To die for the nation, up you rose
Like a nightingale's passion for the rose
