Keloğlan şarkısı here in two languages:

 

                    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCfYtXCeORo

 

Ben bir garip Keloğlanım

Eşeğimin yok palanı

Varım yoğum doğruluktur

Hiç de sevmem ben yalanı

Bir kocakarı anam var

Birkaç tavuk bir de inek

Her gün konar kel kafama

Evsiz kalmış birkaç sinek"

Olmam kimseye kul köle

Halkın kulağı diliyim

Namertlere avuç açmam

Sivri akıllı biriyim

Keloğlanım budur özüm

Haram malda yoktur gözüm

Garip hakkını yiyene

Elbet vardır bir çift sözüm

 

 

My Try for the meaning:

 

 

I am a strange bald boy.

My donkey has no saddle.

Honesty is my everything,

I am the kind of person who never likes a lie.

I have parents, an old man and his wife.

A few hens, a cow, too.

Every day a few homeless flies

settle on my bald head.

I won’t be anyone’s slave.

I am the folks’ ear and tongue

I won’t beg from the craven.

I am a sharp and clever person,

I am the bald boy, this is my principle.

I am never after ill-gotten gains.

I certainly have a couple of words to say

to the one who cheats someone of his rights.

Bir kocakarı anam var 

 

My Try for the meaning:

 

 

I have parents, an old man and his wife.

 

Other parts may be OK but this one is not.

 

Kocakarı = an old woman

So it means

I have an old mother (lit. I have a mother who is an old woman)
