Translation The mouldered log If the mouldered log had not broken I might have erected a fence If my mother dear had not died I would have had two eyes If the birch log had not broken I might have erected a fence If my poor mother had not died I would have had eyes and ears

Turkish Translation Çürük Parça Çürük parça görünür olsa Kaldırıp çite tutar idik. İyem yoksul, ölmemiş olsa Göz, kulak bulur idik. Kırık parça görünür olsa Kaldırıp çite tutar idik. Kutlu anam ölmemiş olsa, Göz, kulak bulur idik.
