| Üç Dil | Three Languages |

En azından üç dil bileceksin En azından üç dilde Ana avrat dümdüz gideceksin En azından üç dil bileceksin En azından üç dilde düşünüp rüya göreceksin En azından üç dil Birisi ana dilin Elin ayağın kadar senin Ana sütü gibi tatlı Ana sütü gibi bedava Nenniler, masallar, küfürler de caba Ötekiler yedi kat yabancı Her kelime arslan ağzında Her kelimeyi bir bir dişinle tırnağınla Kök sökercesine söküp çıkartacaksın Her kelimede bir tuğla boyu yükselecek Her kelimede bir kat daha artacaksın En azından üç dil bileceksin En azından üç dilde Canımın içi demesini Kırmızı gülün alı var demesini Atın ölümü arapadan olsun demesini Keçiyi yardan uçuran bir tutam ottur demesini İnsanın insanı sömürmesi Rezilliğin dik âlâsı demesini Ne demesi be Gümbür gümbür gümbürdemesini becereceksin En azından üç dil bileceksin En azından üç dilde Ana avrat dümdüz gideceksin En azından üç dil Çünkü sen ne tarih ne coğrafya Ne şu ne busun Oğlum Mernuş Sen otobüsü kaçırmış bir milletin çocuğusun Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu |
You need to know at least three languages At least in three languages You need to swear like a sailor You need to know at least three languages In at least three languages you need to dream and think At least three languages One your mother tongue It's yours as your arm and foot As sweet as mother's milk As free as mother's milk Besides are yours cradlesongs, fairy tales and oaths The other ones unfamiliar like a rooster in a hen house Each word in a lion's mouth With your nail and teeth You need to pull out each word like getting blood out of stone With each word you will rise a brick higher With each word you will grow once more At least three languages you need to know In three languages at least you need to know To say, my sweetheart To say, never a rose without the prick To say, one might as well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb To say, it is a pinch of weed that makes a goat forget its lover To say, it is the biggest shame Man exploiting others For God's sake, forget saying things You need to know how to boom like a thunder You need to know at least three languages At least in three languages You need to swear like a sailor At least three languages Because you are not history nor geography Nor this nor that My little Mernuş You are the child of a nation who has missed the bus Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu Translated by Erdinç |
