The Legend of Ali Lake Mountain
In the Eighteenth Century
In the district of Kahramanmaras
A shepherd named Ali 
Tended his flocks near the Nurhak Mountains
These mountains are very high 
And cold, in winter covered always in deep snow
Ali was in love with a girl whose name was Zohre
Who lived in the village at the foot of the mountains 
And Zohre was in love with Ali 
She was always on his mind 
And when seeing her 
Ali could not take his eyes from her
Ali and Zohre wandered the valleys in summer 
And dreamt of their life together
