DON’T BE UPSET KIRKUK
O moon shine my dark night
My folksong isn’t sung by ud kemencha and nay
Arequest of you, an acceptance of me
Your happiness is sufficient, so is your presence
My Kirkuk you got cross, tears in your eyes
Even tears aren’table to put out fire of my heart
I’m infavor of peace, war is war
Your happiness is sufficient, so is your presence
I talked everywhere, I became silent somewhere
I’m offended by someone, ı got cross with someone else
I strewed fires, vomited bloom even
Your happiness is sufficient, so is your presence
Pay no atention destroying of Tuz, Kifri, Bayat
My villages were destroyed, life came to an end
When the day comes you’ll hold out your hands
Your happiness is enough, so is your presence
YAGMUROGLU please mention about my name
My happiness is related to you, so is my joy
Kirkuk only becomes a current issue step by step
Your happiness is sufficient, so is your presence
