Ülkü Tamer - (I offer you my thanks)

I OFFER YOU MY THANKS

It is I who thank you, it was you who kissed me
You were the one who kissed me on my forehead as I slept
You made the groves nice and cool, my sparrows came alive;
You were a blue fox riding a blue horse,
Perhaps I had died yesterday or last week perhaps.

You were so lovely to me, so were those feet of yours.

Ülkü Tamer - Turkish Poet

Translated by Talat Sait Halman





BEN SANA TEŞEKKÜR EDERİM

Ben sana teşekkür ederim, beni sen öptün,
Ben uyurken benim alnımdan beni sen öptün;
Serinlik vurdu korulara, canlandı serçelerim;
Sen mavi bir tilkiydin, binmiştin mavi ata,
Ben belki dün ölmüştüm, belki de geçen hafta.

Sen bana çok güzeldin, senin ayakların da.
