Karwanek wa dîsa bi rê ket

A caravan of them set of once again

Bûn wek koçeran û felaket

They were like nomads and calamities

Xeml û xêza wan karwana reş in

With their charm and character like a black caravan

Bi derd û kul pey hev dimeşin

With pain and sorrow they walk in a line

Penaberin penaber

Refugees refugee

Wek koçera der bi der

Like nomads door to door

Welat welat digerin

They search for a country

Bûne wek teyrê bêper

Just like a bird without feathers

Heywax li min, heywax li min

Oh this curse upon me, oh this curse upon me

Penaber in koçer in

Refugees are just like nomads

Heywax li min, heywax li min

Oh this curse upon me, oh this curse upon me

Wek teyrê bêper in

Like birds without feathers

Karwan karwanê kul û derdan

Caravan caravan full with pain and sorrow

Dev ji mal û milkê xwe berdan

They left their houses and riches

Digerin wek koçeran der bi der

They go from door to door like nomads

Rih û can û milkan tev li ser dan

They left the things they put their life and soul into
