Like dipping bread into salt and eating - uhmmm, I could think of better things to dip my bread into

Till now i couldn't find any poem in my own language called 'İ love You',but this is a beautiful one,till searching for the other.

كل عام و أنتي حبيبتي

كلمات: نزار قباني

كل عام و أنت حبيبتي كل عام و أنا حبيبك

آه يا سيدتي لو كان الأمر بيدي

إذن لصنعت سنة لك وحدك آه .. آه

تفصلين أيامها كما تريدين

و تسندين ظهرك على أسابيعها كما تريدين

و تتشمسين و ترقصين و تكتبين

على رمال شهورها كما تريدين

كل عام و أنت حبيبتي

أقولها لك على طريقتي رافضا كل العبارات

الكلاسيكية التي يرددها الرجال لي مسامع النساء

سوف لن نشتري هذا العيد شجرة

ستكونين أنت الشجرة

و سأعلق عليك أمنياتي و دعواتي

و قناديل دموعي كل عام .. كل عام


Every year and you are my love,
By Nizar Keppani

Every year and you are my lover,
Every year and i am your lover.

Ohh My lady,if it was in my hand,
İ would've made a year just for you

Ohh,ohhh,you sew its days as you want
And lay your back on its weeks as you want

You sunbathe,dance,write on its month's sands as you want.

Every year,and you are my lover

İ'm telling it to you on my own way,
Refusing all the classic expressions,
Which men say it over and over to women.

This year,we won't buy a tree,
You will be my tree

And i will hang my wishes,my prayers,and containers of my tears on you.
Every year...every year..

Ps:We here when we exchange greetings of new year or bayram or any good occasions
We say a wish or some kind of doa 'prayer'saying
Wish you every year you be good.

So here he is not wishing anything except,every year she be his love.

Wish you like it .

İ dedicate it to my man ,with modification ofcourse

Thx aenigma,glad that you liked it

But infact this poet is Syrian,but he lived in Egypt for a while,therefore his style is easy for us too.
The difference between Arabic and Egyptian Arabic,is some how like the difference between Britsh English and American English,
Our Egyptian Arabic is the American one.

My attempt,
Check it pls,

Thank you , Canli. This was nice surprise.

Here is my contribution in Turkish, sorry no translation. I think our Sui will do it. Good luck to him.

Seni Seviyorum
Adnan Özer

Seni seviyorum
çağladıkça coşan su
estikçe dellenen rüzgar
ekildikçe anaçlaşan toprak
öğütler bunu bana

seni severken
türküden türküye geçer ırmak
toprak yaz yağmurlarıyla oyanşır
öğle tozlarıyla dolanır rüzgar ufku
adınla uyarırlar beni

seni seviyorum
bağda çillenen salkım
dalda allanan meyva
öttükçe kendini tüketen kabakçı kuşu
öğütler bunu bana

seni severken
yaz güneşi şehvete boğar bahçeyi
kükürt adetleriyle solar bağ yaprakları
ballı incirde yaşar -bin bir cilveli- aşklarını
turunç gerdanlı kuşlar
haberler getirir sağdıçlarım
Gül kurusu mektuplar

seni seviyorum
hayra yorulan düşler
ceviz sandıkta bekarlığının gül suları
taş yastıklarda zümrütüanka kuşları
öğütler bunu bana

From "Aşk şiirleri Antolojisi"

How about Past Tense?

ALEXANDR PUSHKIN

I loved you

I loved you and this love by chance,
Inside my soul has never fully vanished;
No longer shall it ever make you tense;
I wouldn't want to sadden you with anguish.

I loved you speechlessly and wildly,
By modesty and jealousy was stressed;
I loved you so sincerely, so mildly,
As, God permit, you may be loved by someone else.


Я вас любил

Я Bас любил: любовь еще, быть может,
В душе моей угасла не совсем;
Но пусть она Bас больше не тревожит;
Я не хочу печалить Bас ничем.


Я Bас любил безмолвно, безнадежно,
То робостью, то ревностью томим;
Я Bас любил так искренно, так нежно,
Как дай Bам Бог любимой быть другим.
