Isn't this little poem lovely? Though it may not sound so lovely, because I did the translation


SENİ DÃœŞÃœNMEK

Seni düşÃ¼nmek güzel şey,ümitli şey.
Dünyanın en güzel sesinden
En güzel şarkıyı dinlemek gibi birşey.
Fakat artık ümit yetmiyor bana
Ben artık şarkı dinlemek değil
Şarkı söylemek istiyorum...

Nazım Hikmet

TO THINK OF YOU
To think of you is a lovely thing, a hopeful thing.
It's like listening to the best song from the best voice of the world
But hope is not enough for me anymore
I don't want to listen to songs anymore
But sing a song...

yeah i love this one!! i have read it before somewhere.. maybe it is already on the site somewhere? possibly in the poem section hihi

Hello mltm
Yes, this is really a lovely little poem, as lovely as your translation is. It's plaesure seeing people willing to introduce others to Turkish poetry.
In this case you didn't have to put effort in translation - you had this poem already translated at our Turkish poetry section:
http://www.turkishclass.com/poem_91
(and with many nice comments from people who liked this lovely poem as you did), but it would be great if you'd continue with this, and translate for us every Turkish poem you like.

Ooooops, already there.
