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

 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

A life ceased too soon:(

This is a tribute for the rock turkish singer Barıs Akarsu (29.06.1979-04.07.2007)

It made me so sad to hear that he passed away yesterday at Bodrum Private Hospital at 11.00 p.m.He had been found very hard injured on 29th of June [his birthday:( ] in a devastated car altogether with his two female friends (the driver was one of the girls , which was his old girlfriend as well).They were going to celebrate Baris's birthday! :(

Their car , crashed to a big trunk and was drifted 30 m.As it was told from the media groups , the driver wasn't found guilty , the problem was the junction they were passing where there wasn't any light.Many people are told to have passed away in that cursed junction.Ironically , nobody has done anything to arrange something!Do they have to wait thousands of other people to die??

What is sad is that he scrambled to live these last 6 days,while the girls passed away immediately.After the second day the doctors told their hopes on recovery of Baris were lessen , but his being young could change everything! I have very strong intuitions and I was sure he'd manage, but alas he didn't!

Baris became very famous after wining the "Academy Turkey" programe a star creating programe held in Turkey like the wellknown star creating programs in all the world (Pop idol,popstar) etc..Many programs like that are being held in Turkey.

Most of the participants used to create any random scandal to get some more ratings and therefore their fame.For most of them , any disgrace was acceptable as long as they were famous.

That is the big difference between them and Barıs.He was such a modest ,easygoing , cheerful person , with not a granule of star complex and had an undiscreibable energy.He was a true gentleman.You could see him talking,having fun ,taking photos,spending time with his fans! You couldfeel his enthusiasim in his eyes all of the time.So much passion and love for music and life!:(

I wasn't a fan of him and in fact I didn't know all of his works , but it broke my heart to see this positive energy bomb , this very special hardly found amicable guy to pass away so meaninglessly:(

May you rest in peace Barış !

You won't be forgotten!
