There is a village in the distance — Ahmet Kutsi Tecer

There is a village in the distance
That village is our village
Even if we don’t gallivant about it
That village is our village

There is a house in the distance
That house is our house
Even if we neither sleep nor live in it
That house is our house

There is a voice in the distance
That voice is our voice
Even if we neither hear it nor respond to it
That voice is our voice

There is a mountain in the distance
That mountain is our mountain
Even if we neither climb nor descend on it
That mountain is our mountain

There is a pathway in the distance
That pathway is our pathway
Even if we neither reach it nor return from it
That pathway is our pathway

(Orda bir köy var uzakta)
