A night,
A sleep in the night..
Me in the sleep..
I’m sleeping,
I’m asleep,
With you beside me.
A dream in my sleep,
A night in my dream,
I’m in the night,
Going somewhere,
Madly..
With you in mind.
I’m in love with you,
Secretly,
Bowing before you,
Looking at you,
Without uttering
A single word.
I lose you,
In a moment of darkness..
Suddenly wake up
To see brightness;
You’re sleeping near me..
Safe and sound.
Bir gece,
Gecede bir uyku..
Uykunun içinde ben..
Uyuyorum,
Uykudayım,
Yanımda sen.
Uykumun içinde bir rüya,
Rüyamda bir gece,
Gecede ben..
Bir yere gidiyorum,
Delice..
Aklımda sen.
Ben seni seviyorum,
Gizlice,
El-pençe duruyorum,
Yüzüne bakıyorum,
Söylemeden,
Tek hece.
Seni yitiriyorum,
Çok karanlık bir anda..
Birden uyanıyorum,
Bakıyorum aydınlık;
Uyuyorsun yanımda..
Güzelce.

There was a burning candle in the room of a house
And there was a cat in that house.

Tahir ile Zühre Meselesi
It's not shameful to be Tahir, nor to be Zühre
It's not shameful to die for love either
Nothing caused him as much pain
As his callus caused;
Benimki yalnızca teşhis
For instance at night, around how many stars form a space
For instance here, around how many cities shape a homeland
