We have seas, full of the sun;
We have trees, full of leaves;
From dawn to dusk we go and go and come
Among our seas, among our trees
Full of
The blues.

translated by Murat Nemet-Nejat

I don’t look like much today;
When I pay my debts,
Possibly I’ll own a bunch of new suits;
Possibly you still won’t love me.

But, on Sunday evenings,
When I go by your neighborhood,
Dressed to kill,
Do you think I’ll cherish you
As much as I do today?

This house had a dog,

Very shaggy;

Named Chinchon;

It died.

This house also had a cat: Mavish.

It got lost.

The daughter of the house got married.

So many other bittersweet things

Happened last year.

Yes, they did.

But it’s like this.

Life’s always like this!
