MUSTAFA KEMAL SONG

Born in 1881 in Salonica

Blue eyes, blond hair

Studied hard is aware

He will fight, he will win

A new country will begin

And the name we will say is

Mustafa Kemal

He is bright, he is smart

Leader, soldier, one of a kind

And the name we still say is

Mustafa Kemal

Commander of the troops in the Dardanelles

Saved his land in 1915

Stepped his foot on Anatolia

To spread his ideals in 1919

The TGNA he founds in Ankara

For a Free country

Here comes Turkey
