Only Cypriot ship remained as my capital
I don’t have my house, my people and my country
should I bow my head and consider accepting defeat
as I left Dimbou and Ayyorgi
‘should I be ashamed of *Ayrelli and say ‘Kuşkonmaz?’



* Ayrelli(Turkish Cypriot language), Kuşkonmaz(Turkish language)for Asparagus
