GÖZLERINE BAKARKEN (NAZIM HIKMET)

Gözlerine bakarken 

günesli bir toprak kokusu vuruyor basima, 

bir bugday tarlasinda, ekinlerin içinde 

kayboluyorum... 

Yesil piriltilarla uçsuz bucaksiz bir uçurum, 

durup dinlenmeden degisen ebedi madde gibi gözlerin: 

sirrini her gün bir parça veren 

fakat hiç bir zaman 

büsbütün teslim olmayacak olan...

WHILE WATCHING YOUR EYES

While watching your eyes.

the smell of soil under the sun is getting into my head.

I am getting lost in a wheat field among the crops.

An abyss without an end with green sparkles,

Your eyes, changing tirelessly like an everlasting fragment:

Giving away a peice of its secret every  day

But, will never surrender entirely.

My try, as usual

This is beautiful  I would love to hear it in Turkish...

Ermm..msn voice chat, mobile phone, skype? please feel free to pm with the details..

Ahem ..........  can you confirm that you are Turkish??

 I would have bet my house on this reply from you!!!   

Ha ha

But I could not resist LIR!!

 Few people can resist LIR

 How kind of you to say so! 

Does he offer this service to everyone then?  I have seen his lovely translations being keen on poetry, but I am still exploring the site

The answer is - he would like to and he does try very hard to collect msn´s and phone numbers but we do our best to keep him under control so please don´t encourage him.
