YAPRAK DÖKÜMÜ

土耳其文 | Can Yücel

Sararıp dökülmeden önce kızaran yapraklar ki onlar
Şan verdiler ortalığa bütün bir sonbahar

Mevsim dönüp de yeniden yeşermeğe başlayınca rüzgar
Çıplaklığında o atın yine onlar koşacaklar
O çocuklar
O yapraklar
O şarabi eşkiyalar

Onlar da olmasa benim gayrı kimim var?

LEAF FALL

英文

Those leaves that turned red before they yellowed and fell
all through the autumn put on a splendid display.

As the season turned and the wind began to freshen again
in the nakedness of that horse it's them who'll run
those children
those leaves,
those wine-reddened brigands.

Without them who else would I have.

Translated by Esra Nilgün Mirze and Richard McKane
