MARDİN,THE PULSATION OF THE SUN

 

 

The sky is henna coloured loop to loop,

The sound of severe tongue-lashing shivers, the noses are perforated.

The stones echo the spirit with embroidery in its essence

Entreating to God is divine of its awesome castle

The land of those who are trustworthy

Remembrance of ancestors and the grand Artuklu

The girl castle smiles timidly and bashfully

The time runs slowly like hourglass

There is deep comfort in the spirits, and the nature smiles

Civilizations are arm in arm in the circle folk dance

The songs store trousseau chest and winds

Your courtyards have nice flower odours,the stars flame

The echo of golden blonde stones in the burning hot

Your legend essence echoes in your street ladders

Sun pulses in the lovesick heart

Mesopotamia bends down in front of Mardin

It curves its kneels in the endless green plain

Light of sun passes by Mardin before Nemrut

Rains give good news about abundance and weep

Pigeons affiliated with music somersault

Future beauty and past trust fly in the kites.

Life in Mardin dances with mythology

Islamic calls are together with bells 

Snows die for being decorated

Waters of its fountains enthusiastically flows like musk

Its wells are underground stores as treasure not experiencing sun.

Moonlight with smiling faces carves dimples

Neither moving ahead with gondolas in the moist Venice Street

Nor walking in Paris the City of Tower

Mardin is my Silence Street, essence, and source of my everything.

There is name of love in its sky

My essential land Mardin living in the sweet heart
