MOTHER MY LOVE!!!

If I could see your face,
If I could weave black locks,
If I could come to you from abroad,
I would have the world in the world.

If I were left hungry by your mother’s side,
If I would wrap my arms around that neck,
If I would be sacrificed for you during the holidays,
I would have the world in the world.

If I had seen your heart, your palace,
Just once, I would have asked you how you were,
If you had told me you were well,
I would have the world in the world.

My mother, who has been abroad for years,
This honey has longed for you,
If I had sent you a simple greeting,
I would have the world in the world.

If only someone had come to you,
Azeroğlu, if only I had left you greetings,
If parting were easier than death,
I would have the world in the world.
