It is a poem made up of two stanzas by Orhan Veli Kanık.The stanza that you want to be translated is the first one and should be put like this.
Masal
Çocuk gönlüm kaygılardan azade,
Yüzlerde nur,ekinlerde bereket ,
At üstünde mor kaküllü şehzade;
Unutmaya başladığım memleket.
As İpek K said it is a difficult one to translate and most probably it won't make the same sense as its original.
Tale,
My childish soul is free from fears,
faces full of radiance,crops in abundance,
a purple-fringed prince on horseback;
My home town that I tend to forget.

Well, it is a difficult one since it is a poem and an old version of Turkish is used but I will try at least to get the meaning:
"My child heart is free of anxieties
Light in the eyes, plentyness in the crops
The prince with purple scarf* who is on the horse , the country which I started to forget.."
"kahkül" can either mean the hair that is cut to fall on the forehead or the decorations of a scarf that is wrapped around the head .
Hope it helps:)

Oh my God! It's been ages since I did this. Let me give it a go.
my child heart free of worries
radiance in eyes abundance in harvest
purple fringed prince on horse
the country I've begun to forget
p.s. the other two translations are also very good.
