Re: National Anthem
Nows heres another truly inspiring anthem for you all....
Korkma, sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak;Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak.O benim milletimin yıldızıdır, parlayacak;O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak.Çatma, kurban olayım çehreni ey nazlı hilâl!Kahraman ırkıma bir gül! Ne bu şiddet bu celâl?Sana olmaz dökülen kanlarımız sonra helâl,Hakkıdır, Hakk'a tapan, milletimin istiklâl!Ben ezelden beridir hür yaşadım, hür yaşarım.Hangi çılgın bana zincir vuracakmış? Şaşarım!Kükremiş sel gibiyim, bendimi çiğner aşarım;Yırtarım dağları, enginlere sığmam, taşarım.Garbın âfakını sarmışsa çelik zırhlı duvar,Benim iman dolu göğsüm gibi serhaddim var.Ulusun, korkma! Nasıl böyle bir imanı boğar,"Medeniyet!" dediğin tek dişi kalmış canavar?Arkadaş! Yurduma alçakları uğratma sakın!Siper et gövdeni, dursun bu hayasızca akın.Doğacaktır sana vaadettiği günler Hakk'ın;Kim bilir? Belki yarın? Belki yarından da yakın!Bastığın yerleri "toprak" diyerek geçme, tanı!Düşün, altındaki binlerce kefensiz yatanı!Sen şehit oğlusun, incitme, yazıktır atanı;Verme, dünyaları alsan da bu cennet vatanı.Kim bu cennet vatanın uğruna olmaz ki fedâ?Şüheda fışkıracak toprağı sıksan, şühedâ!Canı, cananı, bütün varımı alsın da Hüdâ,Etmesin tek vatanımdan beni dünyada cüdâ.Rûhumun senden, ilâhi, şudur ancak emeli;Değmesin mabedimin göğsüne na-mahrem eli!Bu ezanlar ki şahadetleri dinin temeli,Ebedi yurdumun üstünde benim inlemeli.O zaman vecd ile bin secde eder varsa taşım;Her cerihamdan, ilâhi, boşanıp kanlı yaşım,Fışkırır rûh-i mücerret gibi yerden nâşım;O zaman yükselerek arşa değer belki başım!Dalgalan sen de şafaklar gibi ey şanlı hilâl;Olsun artık dökülen kanlarımın hepsi helâl!Ebediyyen sana yok, ırkıma yok izmihlâl.Hakkıdır, hür yaşamış bayrağımın hürriyet;Hakkıdır, Hakk'a tapan milletimin istiklâl!Bairam Ya Istilkal Merci!
Okay if you thought i went mad a bit i'm sorry heres the translation for it's the anthem of the West Turks and the people of Turkey.
Fear not! For the crimson flag that proudly ripples in this glorious twilight, shall never fade,Before the last fiery hearth that is ablaze within my nation is extinguished.For That is the star of my nation, and it will forever shine;It is mine; and solely belongs to my valiant nation.Frown not, I beseech you, oh thou coy crescent,But smile upon my heroic race! Why the anger, why the rage?Our blood which we shed for you will not be worthy otherwise;For freedom is the absolute right of my God-worshipping nation.I have been free since the beginning and forever shall be so.What madman shall put me in chains! I defy the very idea!I'm like the roaring flood; powerful and independent,I'll tear apart mountains, exceed the heavensand still gush out!The lands of the West may be armored with walls of steel,But I have borders guarded by the mighty chest of a believer.Recognize your innate strength, my friend! And think: how can this fiery faith ever be killed,By that battered, single-fanged monster you call "civilization"?My friend! Leave not my homeland to the hands of villainous men!Render your chest as armor and your body as trench! Stop this disgraceful rush!For soon shall come the joyous days of divine promise...Who knows? Perhaps tomorrow? Perhaps even sooner!View not the soil you tread on as mere earth - recognize it!And think about the shroudless thousands who lie so nobly beneath you.You're the noble son of a martyr, take shame, hurt not your ancestor!Unhand not, even when you're promised worlds, this paradise of a homeland.What man would not die for this heavenly piece of land?Martyrs would gush out should one simply squeeze the soil! Martyrs!May God take my life, all my loved ones and possessions from me if He will,But may He not deprive me of my one true homeland for the world.Oh glorious God, the sole wish of my pain-stricken heart is that,No heathen's hand should ever touch the bosom of my sacred Temples.These warriors, whose shahada are the foundations of my religion,May their noble sound last loud and wide over my eternal homeland.For only then, shall my fatigued tombstone, if there is one, prostrate a thousand times in ecstasy,And tears of fiery blood shall flow out of my every wound,And my lifeless body shall gush out from the earth like an eternal spirit,Perhaps only then, shall I peacefully ascend and at long last reach the heavens.So ripple and wave like the bright dawning sky, oh thou glorious crescent,So that our every last drop of blood may finally be blessed and worthy!Neither you nor my race shall ever be extinguished!For freedom is the absolute right of my ever-free flag;For independence is the absolute right of my God-worshiping nation!
