Translation of "KARA TOPRAK" by Aşık Veysel from Turkish to English

I expected for many people to be real friends
My faithfull beloved is black soil
i wandered arround with no end, i got tired for nothing
My faithfull beloved is black soil

I dedicated myself for such beautiful ones
I didnt see any loyalty, i didnt find any use
I had everything i want from the soil/earth
My faithfull beloved is black soil

It gave sheep, it gave lamb, it gave milk
ıt gave food, it gave bread, it gave meat
When you didnt peck up the ground, it gave less
My faithfull beloved is black soil

It let my breed come to today till Adam
It feeded me with fruits
ıt carried me on his top everyday
My faithfull beloved is black soil

I cut it open with pickaxe,*
I tore its face with my hands, nails
It again welcomed me with roses
My faithfull beloved is black soil

As i tortured, it used to smile at me
There is no lie in this, everyone saw it
I gave one seed, it gave me four fields inreturn
My faithfull beloved is black soil

If i look up in the sky, i breath
If i look down to the earth, i have others prays
Where will i stay if i leave it
My faithfull beloved is black soil

If you have a wish ask it from God (pray)
Dont go away from the soil to have it (your wish)
Generosity is given to the soil by God
My faithfull beloved is black soil

If you search for truth, here is a clear point
God is close to people, people are close to God
The secret treasure of the God is in soil
My faithfull beloved is black soil

Soil is recovering all the faults we have
It heals my wounds as a medicine
It is waiting me with open arms
My faithfull beloved is black soil

Whom ever learns this secret
S/he leaves an immortal wonder behind for the world
A day comes when it hugs Veysel deeply
My faithfull beloved is black soil
