This is what the Turkish National Anthem means in English.
Fear not, the crimson flag, waving in these dawns will never fade. Before the last hearth that is burning in my nation vanishes. That is my nation's star, it will shine; That is mine, it belongs solely to my nation. Oh coy crescent do not frown for I am ready to sacrifice myself for you! Please smile upon my heroic nation, why that anger, why that rage? If you frown, our blood shed for you will not be worthy. Freedom is the right or my nation who worships God and seeks what is and seeks what is right.
