Translation of the song Yemen Türküsü artist Anonim (Turkey)

Havada bulut yok, bu ne dumandır,

There are no clouds on air, why is this smog?

Mahlede ölüm yok, bu ne şivandır,

There are no deceased in neighborhood, why is this outcry?

Şu Yemen elleri ne de yamandır

Mum, I haven't died yet, why is this groan?

Ah o Yemendir, gülü çemendir,

This is Yemen, its rose is grass

Giden gelmiyor, acep nedendir

Whoever goes there does not return back, I wonder why?

Burası Huştur, yolu yokuştur,

This is Mush(Hush)*,its road is uphill

Giden gelmiyor, acep ne iştir

Whoever goes there does not return back, I wonder why?

Kışlanın önünde redif sesi var

Behind the quarters, there is the voice of draftsmen(=reinforcement troops)

Bakın çantasında acep nesi var

Look inside his haversack, what he has?

Bir çift kundurayla bir de fesi var

He has a couple of clogs, and a red fez**

Ah o Yemendir, gülü çemendir,

This is Yemen, its rose is grass

Giden gelmiyor, acep nedendir

Whoever goes there does not return back, I wonder why?

Burası Huştur, yolu yokuştur,

This is Mush(Hush)*,its road is uphill

Giden gelmiyor, acep ne iştir

Whoever goes there does not return back, I wonder why?
