Gözlüklü Şiir

 

İyi değiliz gözlük bak durmadan

kırmaya çalışıyorlar bizi hiç iyi

değiliz iki gözüm, bende can, sende cam

bırakmadılar, daha kırılacak ne varsa bizde,

gözlüğü olmayanlar çok mu acımasız oluyor

ne, çekip alıyorlar seni gözümden, öyle

çok eziliyoruz ki gözlük, sen bensiz kırık,

ben sensiz karanlık, nerde insanlık

bizi bu kadar kırmasalar, di’mi cam

dostum, onlara da birer gözlük alırdık!

Ne güzel gözümün önünde olman yine,

sensiz ne gülüşün tadı var ne de bakışın

sen olmayınca kötülük daha kötü görünüyor

gözüme, yumruklar daha zalim, sözler daha

sert iniyor yüreğime, sensiz bu dünya

bomboş görünüyor gözüme, sana gözüm

gibi bakacağım, artık senden başkasını görecek

gözüm yok, bizi görmeyenlere

söyleyecek sözüm yok, bizi çok kırdılar gözlük,

bizi tuzlabuz, bizi unufak, bizi camçerçeve

kırdılar da bakmadılar bir kez olsun cangözüyle,

şimdi hem cana, hem cama göz diktiler,

hem gözden düştük hem sözden, bir daha

kırılamayız gözlük, sonumuz olur kırılmak bir daha,

parçamızı bulamazlar ikimizin de! Ah ne bakacak

göz, ne görecek gönül bırakmadılar bize,

bir güzellik kalsaydı, iki ne dört gözümüzle

titrerdik üstüne, candan içeri olan camdan içeri

derdik demesine de, öyle bakımsız, bakışsız

bıraktılar ki gözümüzü, gönlümüzü, ne can

hevese geldi, ne göresi geldi camın,

biz birbirimize iyi bakalım gözlüğüm, canım,

belki onlar da iyi bakarlar kendilerine,

gözlüğüm, iki gözüm, kemiğim, bu sözlerimle

umarım kırmamışımdır seni, zira çok incesin

kırılırsın, kırılır arkadaşlığın camdan kalbi de!

 

Poem with the glasses

 

We are not good glasses

Look, they always try to break us without stopping

We are not good at all  my dear fellow,

They didnt leave a heart in me

and a glass on you

What is left to be broken more?

Are people who dont have glasses too cruel ?

Why do they pull and take you from my eyes?

We are oppressed a lot glasses

You are broken without me

I am (in) dark without you

Where is the humanity?

May they not break us this much

Right? My glass fellow

We would buy them glasses too

It is so nice you to be in front of my eyes again

It doesnt give me pleasure laughing or looking without you

Without you badness seems worse

The fists are more cruel

And words hit my heart harder

Without you world seems altogether empty

I will be overprotective of you

From now on I don´t have an eye to see someone other than you.

I dont have a word to say people who don´t see us

They broke us a lot glasses

They broke us completely into small pieces including glass and frame

They didn´t leave us with the eye of heart once

Now they set their eyes on our life and our glass both

We fell over favor and they dont mention us

We will not be broken again glasses

It would be our end if we were broken again.

They couldn´t even find  a piece of both of us.

Oh! They didn´t leave us an eye to look and a heart to see

If there was a beauty left, we would look at it with our four eyes.

We would say "what is through heart, it is through glass"

But they left our eyes and our hearts so neglected and without look

Neither heart was enthusiastic nor glass wanted to see.

Lets take good care of ourselves my glasses, my dear.

Maybe they can get good care of themselves too.

My glasses, my dear, my bone

I hope I hadn´t broken you with these words

Because you are so thin,

You can be broken

Even the glass heart of friendship can be broken.

This is such a nice poem. I wanted to translate it. But there were many word plays. I did my best.

Why don´t you show us the original so that we can see how you succeeded, gokuyum? (One should actually be careful with joking here because sometimes everything is taken so seriously.)

Thank you, gokuyum, for the piece of poetry. I guess the eyeglasses represent something bigger in the poem even though I perfectly well recognize the feeling when one´s glasses are in danger. Take my right arm but save my glasses...and the tranquility when you can watch the world through them again.
