My Pigeon has landed on Buda Castle

by Sirvictor - last update: Mar 31, 2009

Elvette a német ékes Budánkat

Eser Saral, Rászáll a galambom a Budai várra.
We, Turks have a special passion to Budapest. We call this beautiful city as "Spoiled Girl of Danube"
Here I want to write a poem of Turks about "The Lost of Budapest" in Hungarian language written by a Turkish army poet Tamesvarli Gaazi Asik Hasan. This poem was first found by famous Hungarian turkolog Dr. Ignac Kunos in Adakale insel and published at the beginning of last century.
Ne énekelj fülemüle

Ne énekelj fülemüle, tavasz lett,
Vidám hangú dalolásod megzebzett,
Rózsavársár idejére érkezett.
Elvette a német ékes Budánkat.

Forrásoknál fürdeni már nem lehet, A dzsámikban imádkozni sem lehet,
Pusztaság lett sog-sok nápes terület.
Elvette a német ékes Budankát.

Városunknak hosszú lett a bajárja,
Fö helyen áll Mehmed szultán szent háza,
Szent Kábához hasonlít a formája.
Elvette a német ékes Budánkat.

Lánya vagyok a vezérnek magának,
Szemefénye atyámnak és anyámnak.
Elvette a német ékes Budánkat.

Löportorony gyúlt ki s eszünk verztettük,
A szultáni dzsámik égtek felettünk,
Sok kisgyerek tüzbeveszett mellentünk.
Elvette a német ékes Budankát.

Végvárak közt mindig elsö volt Buda,
Vérrel volt a földje, köve átgyúrva,
Cserkesz zászlótartó a fö tanúja.
Elvette a német ékes Budánkat.

Három ágyú dörgött, ahogy lehetett,
Csütörtökre szinte minden odalett,
Pénteki nap volt, hogy Buda elesett.
Elvette a német ékes Budankát.
Eser Saral
My happy pigeon on Buda Castle.
A spoiled girl of Danube.

I translated the "Legend of Budapest" of Tamesvarli Gazi Asik Hasan, a poet of XVII th Century into English.
Legend of Budin

Don’t sing Nightingale, don’t sing, the summer returned to Spring
The laments of Nightingale pierced my breast
It is now the time buying and selling roses
Austrians captured our spoiled girl called Budapest.

Now muslims don’t washing for prayers by her fountains
Nobody is praying in her mosques
The inhabited all ruined
Austrians captured our spoiled girl called Budapest

The long market of Budapest
And The mosque of Sultan Ahmet at the centre.
Looks like the Kaba of Mecca
Austrians captured our spoiled girl called Budapest.

I am the daughter of Pasha of Budapest
I am the dearest two eyes of my parents
I am a lamp in a cage
Austrians captured our spoiled girl called Budapest

Suddenly the arsenal exploded we all surprised
All the mosques with six minarets burned and fired
All the young innocent children fell into fire.
Austrians captured our spoiled girl called Budapest.

Budapest is the capital of all Turkish Frontiers
All her stones and earth kreated with blood
The Banner- bearer the Circassian leads the Mythts
Austrians captured our spoiled girl called Budapest

From the South three guns shotted
It was thustday and solar eclipsed
On Friday Budapest falled
Austrians captured our spoiled girl called Budapest.

 Bus 91 from Nyugati will take you over to Arpad Bridge across Margaret Island. It is better to take tram n 4 or 6 to Budai Hidfo.
