The body of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk is leaving Istanbul and will be taken to Ankara.

People are sad, there is sadness everywhere...
As we pass through Karaköy, suddenly, a voice called
'Cıt' ...
'Click! Fence! Fence!'

Ah!
You know it rained buttons from the sky?
Button rained from the sky!
It rained buttons on Atatürk's flag-wrapped coffin…
Colorful buttons!
It's raining buttons! Fence! Fence! It's raining buttons!

Everyone looked up!
In the shops and offices on that street,
there are Jewish citizens of the Republic of Turkey on the windows.

And our Jewish brothers, the Jewish citizens of the country, bid farewell to this beautiful person by "ripping off the buttons of their shirts" according to their (mourning) tradition...

What a view…
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's coffin and colorful buttons are raining on it in the cannon pulled by horses, tearful people at the window…

Do you know what it means to send off shirts and jackets by having their buttons off?

“I'M MISSING AFTER YOU…”
