Fatma's Diaper Şiiri - Kasım Kobakçı

Our grandfathers used to wear coarse woolen cloth and our grandmothers sewed it,
It was the scarf that wrapped around the shepherd's shoulders,
It was arakiye that covered the dervishes' heads,
In the past, our clothes were made of coarse woolen cloth.

If it is said that a brave man lies under his coarse woolen cloth,
From this we understand 'Clothes do not define personality',
It is not the clothes that mark a brave man,
Even though he is dressed roughly, he is brave.

We show you a stick from under the coarse woolen cloth,
When we want to scare from underneath,
Dervishes go to great lengths to wear their coarse woolen cloth,
They learn everything from their masters.

When necessary things are bought when they are cheap,
'Coarse woolen cloth time coarse woolen cloth, prong time prong' is pronounced,
To explain real values,
We say 'The value of a coarse woolen cloth is realized in the rain' is adopted.

Sometimes we 'spread our coarse woolen cloth' in places where we are not wanted,
Once we fall in love, we love like crazy,
Sometimes fall in love with Fatma's diaper,
We admire her clothing.
