Yaşamaya Dair 3 [English translation]

this world will cool down,

a star among the stars,

one of the smallest ones,

just a grain of star in the blue velvet,

so, this is our big world.

this world will cool down one day,

not even like a pile of ice

or a dead cloud,

it will roll like an empty walnut,

in the eternal pitch darkness.

the pain of this will be felt already,

this sadness will be felt already.

this is how this world will be loved

so that, you can say 'I lived'...

1948
