Tuna Nehri

The Danube River says it won't flow
It says it won't wash me away.
The great Osman Pasha's fame
Says he won't leave Plevna today.

The enemy crossed the Danube
Checked the outposts, made their rounds.
Five thousand cannons fired
Under Osman Pasha's command, the sound.

I struck my sword against the stone
The rock split wide open, all alone.
The great Osman Pasha's fame
May you live long with your soldiers, known.

Can this really be, can it be so?
Can a child strike down their father, though?
You traitors to the homeland
Will this land ever be yours to show?

It can't be like this, it can't be true
A child can't strike down their father too!
As long as life remains in the body
This land can never belong to you...
