Çanakkale Türküsü
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOZK0cgit8c
Çanakkale içinde vurdular beni
Ölmeden mezara koydular beni
Of gençliğim eyvah
They shot me in Dardanelles
They put me into grave before dying.
Pity my youth pity.
Çanakkale köprüsü dardır geçilmez
Al kan olmuş suları bir tas içilmez
Of gençliğim eyvah
Dardanelles bridge is narrow, it can´t be passed
Its water has turned to blood, even a bowl of it cant be drunk.
Pity my youth pity.
Çanakkale içinde aynalı çarşı
Anne ben gidiyorum düşmana karşı
Of gençliğim eyvah
There is a mirrored bazar in Dardanelles
Mother I go against enemy.
Pity my youth pity.
Çanakkale içinde bir dolu testi
Anneler babalar ümidi kesti
Of gençliğim eyvah
There are lots of jugs in Dardanelles
Parents gave up hope.
Pity my youth pity.
Çanakkale´den çıktım yan basa basa
Ciğerlerim çürüdü kan kusa kusa
Of gençliğim eyvah
I got out of Dardanelles walking sideways
My lungs have rotted throwing up blood.
Pity my youth pity.
Çanakkale içinde sıra söğütler
Altında yatıyor aslan yiğitler
Of gençliğim eyvah
There are row upon row of willows in Dardanelles
Many brave young men lie under them.
Pity my youth pity.
Çanakkale´den çıktım başım selamet
Anafarta´ya varmadan koptu kıyamet
Of gençliğim eyvah
I got out of Dardanelles safely
But without reaching Anafarta, hell broke loose
Pity my youth pity.

İkicihan´s translation is more literal. I dont think there is a big difference in meaning.
