Yûnus Emre der hoca Gerekse var bin hacca Hepisinden eyice Bir gönüle girmektir

Yunus Emre says to you, pharisee, Make the holy pilgrimage if need be A hundred times-but if you ask me, The visit to a heart is best of all.

Marie-Ange Marmillon Collège les Coudriers, France

Tomorrow, at dawn Tomorrow, at dawn, at the moment when the land whitens, I will leave. You see, I know that you are waiting for me. I will go through the forest, I will go across mountains. I cannot stay away from you any longer. I will walk eyes fixed on my thoughts, Without seeing anything outside, without hearing a noise, Alone, unknown, back hunched, hands crossed, Sorrowed, and the day for me will be as the night. I will watch neither the evening gold fall, Nor the faraway sails descending upon Harfleur. And when I'll arrive, I will put on your grave A bouquet of green holly and heather in bloom. Victor Hugo

SEVGİLERDE Sevgileri yarınlara bıraktınız Çekingen, tutuk, saygılı. Bütün yakınlarınız Sizi yanlış tanıdı. Bitmeyen işler yüzünden (Siz böyle olsun istemezdiniz) Bir bakış bile yeterken anlatmaya her şeyi Kalbinizi dolduran duygular Kalbinizde kaldı. Siz geniş zamanlar umuyordunuz Çirkindi dar vakitlerde bir sevgiyi söylemek. Yılların telâşlarda bu kadar çabuk geçeceği aklınıza gelmezdi. Gizli bahçenizde Açan çiçekler vardı, Gecelerde ve yalnız. Vermeye az buldunuz Yahut vakit olmadı

Kafesli evlerde ağlar çocuklar, Odalarda akşam olurken henüz. O zaman gözümün önünde parlar, Buruşuk buruşuk, ağlayan bir yüz. Ne vakit karanlık kaplasa yeri, Başlar çocukların büyük kederi; Bakınır, korkuyla dolu gözleri: Ya artık bir daha olmazsa gündüz?

Children cry in caged houses, Yet as evening in the rooms. Then it shines in front of my eyes, Wrinkled, wrinkled, weeping face. Whenever darkness takes over the place, The great sorrow of the children begins; He looks, his eyes full of fear: What if it doesn’t happen again in the daytime?

El bilir ki sən mənimsən&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Everyone knows you are mine Yurdum, yuvam, məskənimsən.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;You are my house, you are my land. Ana dogma vətənimsəm,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You are my native mother land Ayrılarmı könül candan,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Can soul stay away from body? Azərbaycan, Azərbaycan!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Azerbaijan, Azerbaijan!

I CAN NOT SAY&nbsp;by Orhan VELİ If I cry, would you hear my voice? In my lines; Can you touch To my tears, with your hands? &nbsp; I did not know that songs are so beautiful That words are not enough Before I get into this trouble. &nbsp; There is a place, I know; It is possible to say everything; I am quite close, I hear; I can not tell.

İstanbul'u Dinliyorum İstanbul'u dinliyorum, gözlerim kapalı Önce hafiften bir rüzgar esiyor; Yavaş yavaş sallanıyor Yapraklar, ağaçlarda; Uzaklarda, çok uzaklarda, Sucuların hiç durmayan çıngırakları İstanbul'u dinliyorum, gözlerim kapalı. &nbsp; İstanbul'u dinliyorum, gözlerim kapalı; Kuşlar geçiyor, derken; Yükseklerden, sürü sürü, çığlık çığlık. Ağlar çekiliyor dalyanlarda; Bir kadının suya değiyor ayakları; İstanbul'u dinliyorum, gözlerim kapalı.

Məndə sığar iki cahan,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The two worlds are contained in me Mən bu cahana sığmazam.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;But I will not be contained in these worlds. Göhvəri Laməkan mənəm,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I`m the treasure of abode. Mən bu məkana sığmazam.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I`ll nit be contained in being or in creation.

Qəlbini çalmasın bu mal, bu dövlət.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Azı bir zillətdir,çoxu fəlakət.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Göydə ol, yerdə ol,&nbsp;fərqi yox bunun.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Torpaqsan, yenə də torpaqdır sonun

Don't let the wealth steal your heart. Little wealth is hardship, much is disaster. It doesn't matter if you are high in the sky or on the land. You are made of soil and you'll end up in the soil.

Gelin kucaklayalım, Dünya insanlarını. Barış kuşları sarsın,&nbsp; Evren ufuklarını

Come on, let's surround, The human beings of cosmos. Let the peace birds fly over, The horizons of universe.

Geçici bu aleme, Fazla itibar etme. İşi yokuşa sürüp, Mezhep ırk farkı gütme

Do not consider and respect, To this transitory universe much. Let's not put the men who they have got, Different religious and race to trouble.

ÇOK GÜZEL ŞEY &nbsp; Yaşamak güzel şey doğrusu Üstelik hava da güzelse Hele gücün kuvvetin yerindeyse Elin ekmek tutmuşsa bir de Hele tertemizse gönlün Hele kar gibiyse alnın Yani kendinden korkmuyorsan Kimseden korkmuyorsan dünyada Dostuna güveniyorsan İyi günler bekliyorsan hele İyi günlere inanıyorsan Üstelik hava da güzelse Yaşamak güzel şey Çok güzel şey doğrusu.

Okudum bildim deme Çok tâat kıldım deme Eri hak bilmez isen Abes yere yelmektir&nbsp;&nbsp;

Don't boast of reading, mastering science Or of all your prayers and obeisance. If you don't identify Man as God, All your learning is of no use at all.

Her Şey Sende Gizli Yerin seni çektiği kadar ağırsın &nbsp;Kanatların çırpındığı kadar hafif.. Kalbinin attığı kadar canlısın Gözlerinin uzağı gördüğü kadar genç.. Kendini yalnız hissettiğin kadar yalnızsın Ve güçlü hissettiğin kadar güçlü. Kendini güzel hissettiğin kadar güzelsin.. İşte budur hayat! Kuşlar ötebildiği kadar sevimli Bebek ağladığı kadar bebektir Ve her şeyi öğrendiğin kadar bilirsin Bunu da öğren, Sevdiğin kadar sevilirsin...

Everything Depends on You You are as heavy as the ground pulls you, As light as your wings flutter.. You are as alive as your heart beats, As young as your eyes see distance… You are as alone as you feel alone And as strong as you feel strong. You are as beautiful as you feel beautiful.. This is life! Birds are as sweet as they chitter, A baby is as baby as it cries. And you know everything as much as you learn, learn this as well, YOU ARE LOVED AS MUCH AS YOU LOVE… Can Yücel

Chanson d’automne Les sanglots longs Des violons De l’automne Blessent mon cœur D’une langueur Monotone. Tout suffocant Et blême, quand Sonne l’heure, Je me souviens Des jours anciens Et je pleure Et je m’en vais Au vent mauvais Qui m’emporte Deçà, delà, Pareil à la Feuille morte. &nbsp; &nbsp; Paul Verlaine,&nbsp;Poèmes saturniens &nbsp;

I'm Listening To Istanbul I’m listening to Istanbul, with my eyes closed; First there is a soft breeze; Slowly slowly swings the leaves On the trees; Far, very far away, The nonstop bells of the watermen; I’m listening to Istanbul, with my eyes closed. &nbsp; I’m listening to Istanbul, with my eyes closed; The birds fly by, then High, in groups, loud. Fishnets are pulled in at the harbors; A woman’s feet touches the sea; I’m listening to Istanbul, with my eyes closed;

Bir gün mutlak erersin, Sabır ile murada. Kafanı yorup durma, Ne doluya ne boşa.

One day you'll be reach the goal, Wıth your patience. Let's not think about it much, Either goodness or badness

Gelin tanış olalım İşi kolay kılalım Sevelim sevilelim Dünya kimseye kalmaz&nbsp;&nbsp;

Come, let us all be friends for once, Let us make life easy on us, Let us be lovers and loved ones, The earth shall be left to no one.

ANLATAMIYORUM &nbsp; &nbsp;Ağlasam sesimi duyar mısınız, Mısralarımda; Dokunabilir misiniz, Gözyaşlarıma, ellerinizle? Bilmezdim şarkıların bu kadar güzel, Kelimelerinse kifayetsiz olduğunu Bu derde düşmeden önce. Bir yer var, biliyorum; Her şeyi söylemek mümkün; Epeyce yaklaşmışım, duyuyorum; Anlatamıyorum.

Shabnam Nagiyeva Ganja, Secondary School #24

Demain, dès l'aube Demain, dès l'aube, à l'heure où blanchit la campagne, Je partirai. Vois-tu, je sais que tu m'attends. J'irai par la forêt, j'irai par la montagne. Je ne puis demeurer loin de toi plus longtemps. Je marcherai les yeux fixés sur mes pensées, Sans rien voir au dehors, sans entendre aucun bruit, Seul, inconnu, le dos courbé, les mains croisées, Triste, et le jour pour moi sera comme la nuit. Je ne regarderai ni l’or du soir qui tombe, Ni les voiles au loin descendant vers Harfleur, Et quand j'arriverai, je mettrai sur ta tombe Un bouquet de houx vert et de bruyère en fleur. Victor Hugo

İlim ilim bilmektir İlim kendin bilmektir Sen kendini bilmezsin Ya nice okumaktır&nbsp;

Knowledge should mean a full grasp of knowledge: Knowledge means to know yourself, heart and soul. If you have failed to understand yourself, Then all of your reading has missed its call.

Istiklal Marsi Korkma! Sönmez bu safaklarda yüzen al sancak; Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak. O benim milletimin yildizidir, parlayacak! O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak! &nbsp; Çatma kurban olayim, çehreni ey nazli hilâl; Kahraman irkima bir gül... Ne bu siddet, bu celâl? Sana olmaz dökülen kanlarimiz sonra helâl; Hakkidir Hakk´a tapan, milletimin istiklâl.

Zuhur etmez Hakk aşkı, Kirletilmiş gönülde. Gerçek bendenin ruhu,&nbsp; Yücelir o mevkide.

Love of God never appears, In the dirtied hearts. Sprit of the real servant, Becomes lofty at that place.

23 Nisan Sanki her tarafta var bir düğün Çünkü, en şerefli en mutlu gün Bugün yirmi üç Nisan, Hep neşeyle doluyor insan Bugün, Atatürk’ten bir armağan, Yoksa, tutsak olurduk sen inan Bugün yirmi üç Nisan, Hep neşeyle doluyor insan

23 April Like a wedding, there is every side Because the most glorious day the happiest Today, twenty-three in April, People are always filled with joy Today, a gift from Ataturk, Otherwise, the prisoners would believe you Today, twenty-three in April, People are always filled with joy

IN LOVE BY Behçet NECATİGİL &nbsp;You left the love for tomorrow Timid, reserved, respectful. All your relatives &nbsp;misunderstood you. Because of the endless work (You wouldn't want it to be like this) &nbsp;Even a glance is enough to explain everything Emotions that fill your heart remained in your heart. &nbsp;You were hoping for a long time It was ugly to say a love in narrow times. In the trouble of years so quickly You wouldn't have thought that it would pass. &nbsp;In your secret garden There were flowers blooming In the nights and alone. You found little to give Or there was no time

En makbul ibadettir, Hizmet etmek insana. Kötü kullara sabret,&nbsp; Yaradan hatırına.

The best worship is, To serve the humanity. Be patience to the malicious ones, For the sake of God.

Autumn Song With long sobs The violins Of autumn Wound my heart With languorous Monotony. All choking And pale, when The hour sounds, I remember Departed days And I weep; And I go Where ill winds blow, Buffeted To and fro, Like a Dead leaf. Translation © Richard Stokes, from A French Song Companion (Oxford, 2000)

Memleket İsterim Memleket isterim Gök mavi, dal yeşil, tarla sarı olsun; Kuşların çiçeklerin diyarı olsun. Memleket isterim Ne başta dert, ne gönülde hasret olsun; Kardeş kavgasına bir nihayet olsun. Memleket isterim Ne zengin fakir, ne sen ben farkı olsun; Kış günü herkesin evi barkı olsun. Memleket isterim Yaşamak, sevmek gibi gönülden olsun; Olursa bir şikayet ölümden olsun. Cahit Sıtkı Tarancı

Otuz beş yaş Yaş otuz beş! Yolun yarısı eder. Dante gibi ortasındayız ömrün. Delikanlı çağımızdaki cevher, Yalvarmak yakarmak nafile bugün, Gözünün yaşına bakmadan gider. &nbsp; Şakaklarıma kar mı yağdı ne var? Benim mi Allah'ım bu çizgili yüz? Ya gözler altındaki mor halkalar? Neden böyle düşman görünürsünüz; Yıllar yılı dost bildiğim aynalar?

I Want A country I want a country let the sky be blue, the bough green, the cornfield yellow let it be a land of birds and flowers I want a country let there be no pain in the head, no yearning in the heart let there be an end to brothers' quarrels I want a country let there be no rich and poor, no you and me on winter days let everyone have hose and home I want a country let living be like loving from the heart if there must be complaint, let it be of death

Ben sana geldim, Mevlana...&nbsp; Allah'ım sen büyüksün,&nbsp; Diyerek fatihalar okuyarak&nbsp; Yemyeşil nur ışığına geldim…

I came to you Mevlana…&nbsp; By saying what great you are my God,&nbsp; Reading fatihahs from the opening chapter of Koran,&nbsp; I came to your pure green of divine light…

Yûnus sözün anlarsan Mânâsını dinlersen Sana iyi dirlik gerek Bunda kimseye kalmaz.

To you, what Yunus says is clear, Its meaning is in your heart's ear: We should all live the good life here, Because nobody will live on.

Diyelim yağmura tutuldun bir gün Bardaktan boşanırcasına yağıyor mübarek Öbür yanda güneş kendi keyfinde&nbsp; Ne de olsa yaz yağmuru Pırıl pırıl düşüyor damlalar&nbsp; Eteklerin uça uça bir koşudur kopardın Dar attın kendini karşı evin sundurmasına İşte o evin kapısında bulacaksın beni Diyelim için çekti bir sabah vakti Erkenceden denize gireyim dedin&nbsp; Kulaç attıkça sen Patiska çarşaflar gibi yırtılıyor su ortadan&nbsp; Ege denizi bu efendi deniz&nbsp; Seslenmiyor&nbsp; Derken bi de dibe dalayım diyorsun

Let’s say one day you fell in the rain It is raining like divorces, blessed On the other hand, the sun is at its own pleasure After all, it’s summer rain The drops are falling brightly Your skirts are a run to the end, you plucked You narrowed yourself to the porch of the opposite house Here you will find me at the door of that house Let’s say it was morning time You said to go to the sea early The more you stroke The water is tearing like calico sheets Aegean sea, this is the lord sea Not calling out Then you say let me dive to the bottom

Seni Düşünmek Seni düşünmek güzel şey, ümitli şey, dünyanın en güzel sesinden en güzel şarkıyı dinlemek gibi birşey... Fakat artık ümit yetmiyor bana, ben artık şarkı dinlemek değil, şarkı söylemek istiyorum... Nazım Hikmet

Thinking of you, a nice thing, hopeful thing &nbsp;It is like listening the most beautiful song &nbsp;from the best voice of the world... &nbsp;but hope is not enough for me any more &nbsp;I do not want to listen to songs no longer &nbsp;I would like to sing

Xarici olsa da parlaq bir günəş,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Even if the appearance is like a sunshine Daxili bəlkə də zülmət gecədir.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inner, world can be like a dark night.

Independence March Fear not! For the crimson flag that proudly waves in these dawns, shall never fade, Before the last fiery hearth that is ablaze within my nation burns out. And that, is the star of my nation, and it will forever shine; It is mine; and solely belongs to my nation. &nbsp; Frown not, I beseech you, oh thou coy crescent, But smile upon my heroic nation! Why the anger, why the rage? The blood we shed for you will not be worthy otherwise; For freedom is the absolute right of my God-worshipping nation.

Sessiz Gemi Artık demir almak günü gelmişse zamandan Meçhule giden bir gemi kalkar bu limandan. &nbsp; Hiç yolcusu yokmuş gibi sessizce alır yol; Sallanmaz o kalkışta ne mendil, ne de bir kol. &nbsp; Rıhtımda kalanlar bu seyahatten elemli, Günlerce siyah ufka bakar gözleri nemli, &nbsp; Biçare gönüller! Ne giden son gemidir bu! Hicranlı hayatın ne de son matemidir bu. &nbsp; Dünyada sevilmiş ve seven nafile bekler; Bilmez ki giden sevgililer dönmeyecekler. &nbsp; Bir çok gidenin her biri memnun ki yerinden, Bir çok seneler geçti; dönen yok seferinden. Yahya Kemal Beyatlı

Where is the peace? When I see wars on the TV When the bombs explode without stopping When I see sad people When I see weapons that kill When I see hunger and misfortunes When I see the children cry When I see hate on the faces When I see people fight When I see someone stepping on a flower When I see people without a home When I see other’s mistakes That the innocents pay Then I stop And I start to think And I always wonder Where peace is But the answer to the question is always the same: “It is in people’s hearts that want to help” So don’t speak too much And start to work To work for a new world Where we could live in peace -María Rosa Catarina

AGE THIRTY-FIVE The age is thirty-five! Half of the way! We're in the middle of life like a Dante. The fire we felt at the time of our youth, When complaining is no use any longer, Goes out without caring about tears. Did it snow on my temples or what's this? God, this wrinkled face belongs to me? Or those purple bulges beneath my eyes? Why did you become enemy to me, Oh the mirrors I knew as friends for years.

VERY NICE THING by Melih Cevdet ANDAY &nbsp; Living is a good thing indeed Moreover, if the weather is nice Especially if your strength is strong If your hand has a crush on bread Especially if your heart is clean Especially if it's like snow So if you are not afraid of yourself If you are not afraid of anyone in the world If you trust your friend Especially if you expect a good day If you believe in the good times Moreover, if the weather is nice Living is a good thing It is a very good thing.

DÜNYAYI VERELİM ÇOCUKLARA Dünyayı verelim çocuklara&nbsp;hiç değilse bir günlüğüne allı pullu bir balon gibi verelim oynasınlar oynasınlar türküler söyleyerek yıldızların arasında dünyayı çocuklara verelim kocaman bir elma gibi verelim sıcacık bir ekmek somunu gibi hiç değilse bir günlüğüne doysunlar dünyayı çocuklara verelim bir günlük de olsa öğrensin dünya arkadaşlığı çocuklar dünyayı alacak elimizden ölümsüz ağaçlar dikecekler.

Allah aşkıyla yanar,&nbsp; Velilerin yüreği. Malı mülkü ziyneti,&nbsp; Görmez asla gözleri.

Hearts of the men close to God, Are on fire, With the love of God, Their eyes never see the property

Bütün iyi kitapların sonunda Bütün gündüzlerin, bütün gecelerin sonunda Meltemi senden esen Soluğu sende olan Yeni bir başlangıç vardır Edip Cansever&nbsp;

“At the end of all good books &nbsp;At the end of all days, all nights &nbsp;Blowing my breeze from you The one whose breath is in you &nbsp;There is a new beginning

ÇALIŞMAK Gecesi gündüzü yok Çırpınır rüzgarda emek Kavgada hep yenilendir Oysa Bir tas çorba Bir ekmek Tutunacak dal arar Dizlerim Zamlar gamlara karışır Nutuklar yükselir sonra Çalışmak ibadettir Çalışmak ibadet

Work There is no day or night Labor flutters in the wind Always new in the fight Whereas A bowl of soup One bread Seeks a branch to hold on My knees Raises scales After the speeches rise Working is a worship Work worship

Silent Ship If there comes a time to raise anchor from time, one day more, &nbsp;A ship will set out from this harbor toward an unknown shore. &nbsp;It makes way silently, as though it held no living soul; At that unrocking parting no hand waves as the lines unroll. Those watching from the wharf are all aching from this journey; Their eyes sting from holding the black horizon so firmly. &nbsp;Wretched hearts! What last ship leaving from the homeland is this? &nbsp;And what deep mourning for a life spent in exile is this? &nbsp;The loved and the loving will wait in vain in the world here; They do not know the belowed will never reappear. &nbsp;Each of the many who are going are happy they could spend &nbsp;A number of years here; the passengers never descend.

I came to you Mevlana…&nbsp; I lost my beloved, hope,&nbsp; I lost my love, affection,&nbsp; I came suffering acutely…

¿Dónde está la paz? Cuando veo guerras por la tele cuando suenan bombas sin parar cuando veo gente triste cuando veo armas para matar Cuando veo hambre y desdichas cuando veo a niños llorar cuando veo odio en las caras cuando veo a gente pelear Cuando veo una flor pisada, cuando veo a gente sin hogar cuando veo los errores de otros a los inocentes pagar Entonces me paro, me paro a pensar y siempre me pregunto dónde está la paz Pero la respuesta a la pregunta siempre suele ser igual: "Está en los corazones de la gente que quiere ayudar" Así que no hables tanto y empieza a trabajar, trabajar por un mundo nuevo donde podamos vivir en paz -María Rosa Catarina

I came to you Mevlana…&nbsp; My heart has been cleaned, I came to your post…&nbsp; With my lover heart madly&nbsp; I came in the fall of my life…&nbsp;

Ben sana geldim, Mevlana...&nbsp; Alabildiğince uzanan şu sevdamla,&nbsp; Gönül yollarından akan gözyaşlarımla&nbsp; Can'ımla her şeyimle geldim.&nbsp;

I came to you Mevlana…&nbsp; With my love insofar&nbsp; With flowing tears of my heart,&nbsp; I came with my soul and all my things…&nbsp;
