MUSTAFA KEMAL SONG
Born in 1881 in Salonica
Blue eyes, blond hair
Studied hard is aware
He will fight, he will win
A new country will begin
And the name we will say is
Mustafa Kemal
He is bright, he is smart
Leader, soldier, one of a kind
And the name we still say is
Mustafa Kemal
Commander of the troops in the Dardanelles
Saved his land in 1915
Stepped his foot on Anatolia
To spread his ideals in 1919
The TGNA he founds in Ankara
For a Free country
Here comes Turkey
