in anticipation of my trip tomorrow to Istanbul and seeing friends: Makes Me Dizzy by Orhan Veli Kanık

Getting a letter makes me dizzy;
Drinking raki makes me dizzy;
Going on a trip makes me dizzy;
What’s the meaning of all this, I don’t know;
Someone singing “My Kazım”
In Üsküdar
Makes me dizzy.

translated by Murat Nemet-Nejat
