The Black Sea was storming

English Translation
The Black Sea was storming,
When looking at the Turkish flag!
I would awe and never die,
If I can fall to its feet!

[It] was apart from the friendly lands,
There are years when the heart is beating vigorously!
Those who came and leaving are faithful,
Make a way to the Turkish flag!

Let's strew pearls on its way,
Shower it with galloons from left and right!
Let the storms stand away,
Welcome the Turkish flag!

"Hamidiyye" was the Turkish blood!
Their glory will never end!
Let "Kazbek" to be its first victim,
[I’m] admired by the Turkish flag!

The winds are blowing from the friendly lands,
Telling me poems and greeting me.
Let all our lands,
Glorify the Turkish flag!
Make the way to the Turkish flag!!
