Aman hasta düştüm gurbet elde (I fell ill in a foreign land)

This version focuses on the loneliness of falling ill away from home.

Sağdan sola dönemem (I cannot even turn from right to left) Yetiş anam imdada (Mother, come to my aid) 2. The "Aman Doktor" Version (Ceylan)

The mother is always the ultimate source of comfort and the person the sufferer most wants to shield from the news of their illness.

Ölür mü yaşarmıyım, verem mi kansermiyim? (Will I live or die? Is it tuberculosis or cancer?)

This theme appears in several popular folk songs and "Uzun Hava" (long-form unmetered folk songs):

Vallah su verenim yoktur (I have no one to even give me water)
