This poem is a little bit obscene. Beware !
DEDİM DEDİ I SAID, SHE SAID
Sabahtan uğradım ben bir fidana I went to visit a sapling this morning
Dedim mahmur musun, dedi ki yoh yoh. I said "Are you sleepy?" She said "No, no!"
Ak elleri boğum boğum kınalı Her white hands were knotty and hennaed
Dedim bayram mıdır, dedi ki yoh yoh. I said "Is it festival?" She said "No,no!"
Dedim inci nedir, dedi dişimdir I said "What is a pearl?" She said "My tooth"
Dedim kalem nedir, dedi kaşımdır I said "What is a pencil?" She said "My eyebrow."
Dedim on beş nedir, dedi yaşımdır I said "What is fifteen?" She said "My age"
Dedim daha var mı, dedi ki yoh yoh. I said "Is it more?" She said "No, no!"
Dedim ölüm vardır, dedi aynımda I said "There is death" She said "In my eyes"
Dedim zulüm vardır, dedi boynumda I said "There is cruelty" She said "On my neck"
Dedim ak sineler, dedi koynumda I said "White breasts" She said "On my chest"
Dedim sevebilsem, dedi ki yoh yoh. I said "Can I love?" She said "No,no!"
Dedim Erzurum nendir, dedi ilimdir I said "What is Erzurum?" She said "My city"
Dedim gider misin, dedi yolumdur I said "Do you go?" She said "It is my way"
Dedim Emrah nendir, dedi kulumdur I said "Who is Emrah?" She said "My slave"
Dedim satar mısın, dedi ki yoh yoh. I said "Would you sell him?" She said "No,no!"
Erzurumlu Emrah (1775-1854)
