Ey şanlı ordu, ey şanlı asker

Haydi gazanfer umman-ı safter

Bir elde kalkan, bir elde hançer

Serhadde doğru ey şanlı asker.

Eski Ordu Marşı

Deryada olsa herşey muzaffer

Dillerde tekbir, Allahü ekber

Allahü ekber, Allahü ekber

Ordumuz olsun daim muzaffer.

Eski Ordu Marşı

English

O glorious army! O great soldier, Come on the glorious sea of bastion smashers, A shield in one hand and the dagger in the other, Let's advance to the border O gallant soldier.

Eski Ordu Marşı

May everything be victorious in this sea. Chanting the takbir, "Allah is the greatest"

Allah is greatest, Allah is greatest, May our army be eternally victorious.
