Turk sair Ozdemir Asaf’in dogum yildonumu (11 Haziran 1923)
Bu bakis seni gormek icindir.
Senden baska birsey var mi?
Denizlere bakiyorum, denizlere..
Denizler bu kadar mi?
Bakiyorum baska seyler goreyim diye..
Tabiat ezilip buzuluyor karsimda.
Manzaralarin omru birer saniye
Bulutlar ayagimin dibinde, sen basimda.
Yildizlara bakiyorum, yildizlara..
Bir sen varsin benimle bakan.
Ne oldu diyorum, oteki insanlara..
Hani sozleri vardi, hayati aydinlatan.
This glance is for you to see.
Is there anything more than you?
To the sea, I’ll look to the sea…
Is this all there is of the sea?
Staring only to see something else…
Nature cringes in front of me.
Landscapes pass by the second.
Clouds beneath my feet, you in my head.
At stars, I’m looking at the stars…
You’re here looking with me.
I wonder what happened to the others…
They had words, and enlightened life.
One evening you were looking from your window
Into darkness slowly filling the road.
Someone passed your house resembling me.
Your heart began to race…
But the one passing wasn’t me.
One night you were sleeping in your bed…
You awoke suddenly to a silent world.
Something in a dream opened your eyes,
And darkness was there in your room…
The one who saw you wasn’t me.
At that time I was nowhere near,
And for no reason you began to cry.
Now at last you’re thinking of me
Living with love in your life…
The one who knew this wasn’t me.
You were reading a book, entranced…
The people inside fell in love or else died.
A young man in the novel was killed.
You were afraid, with all your strength cried…
The one who died wasn’t me.
