Para que me pario mama, para que me pario a mi no pariera y me muriera no sirviera a askerlik 4 missing lines cada dia en un balo cada noche un ziafet agora por las montanias el tufek por de maiselle
Why did my mother give birth to me Why did she bear me I would rather not be born or be dead I would not be serving in the army 4 missing lines Every day a ball every night a feast and now on the mountains The rifle is my girlfriend
This song, El servicio militar turco, is one of the songs which complains about the obligatory draft into the Turkish army (Askerlik), which included all male citizens as well Jews.
