Poem
Behçet Necatigil
EXCUSES TO GET ANGRY
Reasons to fretBreed older and older you get,
Recollect, all those things
Better not to be done, in youth.
For a good poem or a short story
We keep living for a while
And on broken scales
Weighing our youth
We counted days
Left no more.
KIZMAK İÇİN NEDENLER
KIZMAK İÇİN NEDENLER
Kızmak için nedenlerÇoğalır yaşlandıkça
Anımsanır, yapılmamalıydı
Şunlar şunlar gençlikte.
Bir güzel bir şiir, güzel bir öykü
İçin yaşarız daha bir süre
Tartarak
Gençliğimiz ne çekti bozuk basküllerde.
Gün sayardık
Günler bitti.
