Tre poezi nga Orhan Veli Kanik


 Today i`ll share in Albanian some poems from the great Turkish poet Orhan Veli Kanık, which i translated from Turkish.He is one of my most favorites from Turkey.For the non Albanian speakers, i`ve shared the English translation links below:)

Nuk mundem ta shpjegoj

Nëse qaj mund të ma ndjeni zërin
Në vargjet e mia;
Mund ti prekni,
Lotët e mi, o duar?
S`e dija sa të bukura ishin këngët,
Sa boshe fjalët
Para se t`më zinte ky hall


Ka një vend , e di
Aty çdo gjë mund të thuhet,
Jam afruar shumë, e dëgjoj,
Nuk mundet ta shpjegoj

for english translation :  http://www.orhanveli.net/talathalman/icantexplain.html
 

 Ndarja

Ngulitem duke parë anijen që largohet
S`mund të hidhem në det , jeta është e bukur,
Në deje më rrjedh gjak burrëror , nuk mundem të qaj


for english translation :  http://www.orhanveli.net/talathalman/separation.html


Kam tjetër hall

Mos kujto se e kam problem prej diellit;
E ç`ë pastaj se erdh pranvera?
Se  bajamet çelën lule?
Në fund të fundit , s`do vdesim prej kësaj
Megjithëse dhe po të ndodhë do trembeshkam
Nga vdekja që vjen prej diellit?
Unë që rinohem me një vit në çdo prill,
Që në çdo pranverë jam më i dashuruar;
Do të trembem?
Ah miku im , kam tjetër hall

Amaneti i Nazim Hikmet

Kete poezi doja ta sillja ketu ne fakt me date 3 Qershor 2009 , qe eshte dhe data e vdekjes se Nazim Hikmet , por ja qe ngeli per sot per mungese te kohes.
Kete poezi poeti e ka shkruar ne nje kohe qe ka qene i semure jashte atdheut te tij.
Sic shume prej jush mund ta dini , ketij poeti te madh i qe hequr kombesia e shtetit te vet dhe ai vdiq me kete pikellim.Kombesia ju rikthye vitin e kaluar , tashme shume vone , por sidoqofte ju kthye me ne fund.
Nuk ka nevoje per shume komente kur jane vargjet e tij, ndaj po ju le ta shijoni.

AMANETI

Shokë nëse nuk e kam për risk ta shoh atë ditë,

Nëse vdes përpara çlirimit,

Më merrni dhe më varrosni

Në një varrezë në fshatrat e Anadollit

Nga një anë e imja le të prehet argati Osman

Që e vrau Hasan beu

dhe në anën tjetër

dëshmorja Aishe që vdiq

pa mbushur të dyzetat

Le të kalojnë poshtë dheut të varrit , meloditë permes traktorëve ,

era e freskët e gjindjes , era e benzinës së djegur në buzë të agut ,

në tokat ; pronë e të gjithëve , me ujë nëpër kanale ,

pa frikë thatësire apo xhandarme .

Ne patjetër që nuk do ti dëgjojmë këto melodi ,

do të dergjemi poshtë dheut tejembanë ,

të vdekurit kalben porsi degë të zeza ,

nën dhe , ashtu të shurdhër , të verbër ,memecë.


Por unë i pata kënduar këto melodi

para se ato të krijoheshin ,

e pata ndjerë erën e djegur të benzinës

para se të vizatohej traktori vetë .

Sa i përket komshinjve të mij të heshtur ,

dëshmorja Aishe dhe argati Osman

mbase dhe pa e vënë re

hoqën shumë nga mungesa e tyre

për sa kohë ishin në atë botë



Shokë, pra nëse vdes para asaj dite,
- që në fakt ashtu duket-
Më varrosni në një varrezë fshati në Anadoll
dhe po qe e mundur ,
t’më vini një pemë panje mbi varrin tim
nuk më bie ndërmend as për gurin e varrit...

27 Prill 1953

Rain Lullaby

Raindrop Rhythm
©Fannie L. Houck

Heard the rhythm of the raindrops
Dripping to the ground.
Heard the rhythm of the raindrops
Dropping all around.
Heard the rhythm of the raindrops
Drumming on the rafter.
Heard the rhythm of the raindrops
Drowning out our laughter.



April Rain Song
© Langston Hughes

Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk.
The rain makes running pools in the gutter.
the rain plays a little sleep-song on our roof at night -
And I love the rain.

A light exists in spring

© Eni Turkeshi Photography

Emily Dickinson


A Light exists in Spring
Not present on the Year
At any other period —
When March is scarcely here

A Color stands abroad
On Solitary Fields
That Science cannot overtake
But Human Nature feels.

It waits upon the Lawn,
It shows the furthest Tree
Upon the furthest Slope you know
It almost speaks to you.

Then as Horizons step
Or Noons report away
Without the Formula of sound
It passes and we stay —

A quality of loss
Affecting our Content
As Trade had suddenly encroached
Upon a Sacrament.

I'm listening to Istanbul

© Eni Turkeshi Photography

I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed;
At first there blows a gentle breeze
And the leaves on the trees
Softly flutter or sway;
Out there, far away,
The bells of water carriers incessantly ring;
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.

I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed;
Then suddenly birds fly by,
Flocks of birds, high up, in a hue and cry
While nets are drawn in the fishing grounds
And a woman's feet begin to dabble in the water.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.

I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
The Grand Bazaar is serene and cool,
A hubbub at the hub of the market,
Mosque yards are brimful of pigeons,
At the docks while hammers bang and clang
Spring winds bear the smell of sweat;
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.

I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed;
Still giddy since bygone bacchanals,
A seaside mansion with dingy boathouses is fast asleep,
Amid the din and drone of southern winds, reposed,
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.

I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.
Now a dainty girl walks by on the sidewalk:
Cusswords, tunes and songs, malapert remarks;
Something falls on the ground out of her hand,
It's a rose I guess.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.

I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed;
A bird flutters round your skirt;
I know your brow is moist with sweat
And your lips are wet.
A silver moon rises beyond the pine trees:
I can sense it all in your heart's throbbing.
I am listening to Istanbul, intent, my eyes closed.

-- Orhan Veli

Herds and Tillage

Photobucket

shot from a moving car.loved the cows

a very nice Albanian poem from a special Albanian poet called: Naim Frasheri

i think it fits perfectly to this image:

Oh mountains of Albania

Oh mountains of Albania and you, oh trees so lofty,
Broad plains with all your flowers, day and night I contemplate you,
You highlands so exquisite, and you streams and rivers sparkling,
Oh peaks and promontories, and you slopes, cliffs, verdant forests,
Of the herds and flocks I'll sing out which you hold and which you nourish.
Oh you blessed, sacred places, you inspire and delight me!
You, Albania, give me honour, and you name me as Albanian,
And my heart you have replenished both with ardour and desire.
Albania! Oh my mother! Though in exile I am longing,
My heart has ne'er forgotten all the love you've given to me.
When a lambkin from its flock strays and does hear its mother's bleating,
Once or twice it will give answer and will flee in her direction,
Were others, twenty-thirty fold, to block its path and scare it,
Despite its fright it would return, pass through them like an arrow,
Thus my wretched heart in exile, here in foreign land awaiting,
Hastens back unto that country, swift advancing and in longing.
Where cold spring water bubbles and cool breezes blow in summer,
Where the foliage grows so fairly, where the flowers have such fragrance,
Where the shepherd plays his reed pipe to the grazing of the cattle,
Where the goats, their bells resounding, rest, yes 'tis the land I long for.

Homazh per Nazim Hikmetin

Vjersha e meposhtme eshte nje homazh per Nazim Hikmetin ne vitin e 45 te vdekjes se tij (3.Qershor 1963)..Shpresoj t'ju pelqeje,mua me beri shume pershtypje .


Rreth Vdekjes

Ejani uluni miq,
mire se erdhet, na nderuat
E di qe erdhet teksa flija,
u futet ne qelizen time ,nga dritarja
Nuk e rrezuat as shishen e holle te ilaçeve
dhe as kutine e kuqe,

Me fytyrat tuaja rrezatim dritash te yjeve
u ulet dore me dore mbi koken time
Ejani uluni miq,
mire se erdhet, na nderuat

Pse me shikojne kaq çuditshem ne fytyre?
I biri i Osmanit Hashimi.
Sa çudi,
Po juve sikur kishit vdekur vella.
Ne portet e Stambollit
teksa ngarkonit qymyr ne nje anije Angleze,
se bashku me shporten e qymyrit
ne fund te ambarit...

Vinçi i anijes e kishte nxjerre kufomen tuaj
dhe gjaku juaj i kuq e kishte lare koken tuaj te zeze
perpara ores se daljes.


Kushedi sa dhimbje keni pasur..
Mos rrini ne kembe, uluni,
une kujtoja se ju kishit vdekur,
u futet ne qelizen time prej dritares.
Me fytyrat tuaja rrezatim dritash te yjeve
mire se erdhet, na nderuat

Jakup nga fshati Yayalar,
i dashur,
pershendetje.
Edhe juve nuk kishit vdekur valle?
Duke i lene femijeve vetem malarjen dhe urine
nuk u varroset ne varrezen e zhveshur
ne nje dite shume te nxehte vere?
Domethene nuk paskeni vdekur?

Po juve?
Muharrir Ahmet Xhemil?
E pashe me syte e mi
Arkivolin tuaj
teksa hynte ne toke.

Madje me duket se arkivoli
qe me i shkurter se trupi juaj.
Nejse lere fare kete, Ahmet Xhemil,
s'paskeni hequr dore nga huqi juaj i vjeter,
ajo eshte shishe ilaçi
jo rakie

Per te fituar 50 grosh ne dite,
dhe per ta harruar boten
ashtu fillikat siç ishit
sa shume qe pinit...

Une kujtoja se ju kishit vdekur.
Ejani uluni miq,
mire se erdhet, na nderuat...
Nje poet i vjeter pers:
Thote -,"Vdekja eshte e drejte"
"E godet mbretin dhe varfanjakun me te njejten madheshti."

Hashim ,
Pse po habiteni?
Nuk e kishit degjuar vella,
per cilindo mbret qe vdes ne ambarin e nje anijeje
me nje shporte qymyri?...

Nje poet i vjeter pers:
Thote -,"Vdekja eshte e drejte"
Jakup,
sa bukur qeshet i dashur.
Sikur nje here te vetme nuk ju kam pare te qeshnit keshtu ne te gjallet tuaj...
Por prisni ta mbaroj fjalen.

Nje poet i vjeter pers:
Thote -,"Vdekja eshte e drejte"
Lereni shishen Ahmet Xhemil
Mos u nevrikosni kot,
E di ,
Ju thoni qe vdekja te jete e drejte,
duhet qe dhe jeta te jete e tille...

Nje poet i vjeter pers...
Hej miq nga po veni keshtu duke me braktisur,
miq nga po veni keshtu
tere turfullim?

Shqiperimi modest i te madhit Nazim u be nga une:)

Who knows if the moon's?


who knows if the moon's a baloon,
coming out of a keen city
in the sky-
-filled with pretty people?

(and if you and i should
get into it,
if they
should take me and take you into their baloon,
why then
we'd go up higher with all the pretty people
than houses and steeples and clouds:
go sailing
away and away sailing into a keen city
which nobody's ever visited,
where
always it's Spring)
and everyone's
in love and flowers pick themselves
