Aşık Veysel and s st ll so popular among fans of Turk sh folk mus c,

translated nto Engl sh: "I Walk On A Long And Narrow Road"

Turkish Lyrics

Uzun ince bir yoldayım,

Gidiyorum gündüz gece,

Bilmiyorum ne haldeyim,

Gidiyorum gündüz gece.

Dünyaya geldiğim anda,

Yürüdüm aynı zamanda,

İki kapılı bir handa

Gidiyorum gündüz gece.

Uykuda dahi yürüyom,

Kalmaya sebep arıyom,

Gidenleri hep görüyom,

Gidiyorum gündüz gece

Kırk dokuz yıl bu yollarda

Ovada dağda çöllerde,

Düşmüşüm gurbet ellerde

Gidiyorum gündüz gece.

Düşünülürse derince,

Uzak görünür görünce,

Yol bir dakka miktarınca

Gidiyorum gündüz gece.

Şaşar Veysel iş bu hale

Gah ağlaya gahi güle,

Yetişmek için menzile

Gidiyorum gündüz gece

English Lyrics

I am on a long and narrow road,

I walk day and night;

I do not know what state I am in

I walk day and night;

The moment I came into the world,

I walked at the same time

At an inn with two doors

I walk day and night.

I walk even while sleeping,

I am looking for a reason to stay

I always see the ones that left

I walk day and night

Forty-nine years on these roads

In the valleys, mountains, and deserts

In foreign lands I make my way

I walk day and night

If deeply thought about

The goal seems very far from sight

While the road is only a minute long

I walk day and night

Veysel does wonder at this state

Lament or laughter, which is right?

Still to attain the distant goal

I walk day and night
