Tenha - Desolate

 
Ben ölecegim, kimse seyretmesin,
Günes ve düsünceler içinde.
    
Soyunacagim  
elbiselerden ve hatiralardan,
 Bir semalar  
sessizliginde.
 
 Asude ve mahzun ellerimle,
 Nasibimi bir kenara birakip
Eski sarkilar söylerken,
 Daglarda atesler yakip.
 
  Kimse seyretmesin, ask ve sonsuzluk,
 Garip mezarliklar -arasindan gidecegim.-
 Kokulu sularla  
yikanarak
 Karanliklarda zevk edecegim
İFazil Daglarca  
1969
 
DESOLATE
 Let no one stare.  
Under the sun and musing, I shall die,  
Doffing my garments
 and memories In a silence of the sky.
 
 My calm and downcast hands will lay aside
 what fate requires. Chanting ancient songs, on the mountains I
shall build fires.  
Let no one look
for love or eternity.  
 
I shall go through graveyards strange
and stark.
 Bathing in fragrant waters, I shall bask i
n pleasures in the dark
