  GECE KUŞU

Buz buz ayaklar
Oturmuş, üşümüş
Sabaha kadar

Buz buz ayaklar
Top top topuklar
Sabaha karşı
Dörtte
Isınmaya gelirler...
Yoksa soğutmaya....

NIGHT BIRD

With frozen feet
They sat all night
Shivering
Until the dawn

With ice cold feet.
Tap-tapping heels
Towards the morning
At the hour of four
They come to me
Is it for warmth....
Or coolness....
