به ماشينى كه عكس ها را تكه تكه ميكند خيره ميشوم
انگار اينجا و اين لحظه حقيقت يا دروغى صلاخى ميشود
و در همين لحظه فريادهاى(در گلو) خفته، به
ناگهان از دل تصاوير چاك چاك سر بر مى آورند
آه… چقدر اين تكه پاره ها برايم آشناست !..
همچون خاطرات تكه تكه شده ام
– انقلاب
– گروگان گيرى
– اشغال سفارت آمريكا
و اطاق هايى مملو از مدارك از هم گسيخته
و حالا كنار هم چيدن و دوباره زندگى بخشيدن به آنها چرا اينقدر با دلهره همراه است؟
تا لحظه ها پاك نشدن ، بايد سريع تمام شون كنم
نه عجله دارم…
خيلى وقت ندارم
Staring at the machine, shredding out the photos
It feels like here and this very moment a truth or a lie is being slaughtered
Uh…how familiar they look
Like my shattered memories
Revolution
Hostage
American Embassy invaded
And rooms filled with torn apart documents
Now why is it so terrifying to put them back together and blow life into them again
Chop-chop, I have to finish them
No…I’m in hurry
I’m out of time

I get up
A lantern in my hand
A lantern in my heart
I wipe the tarnish from my soul
Then i place the mirror in front of you to make an eternity with you

Silent demonstration from Hafte Tir Square to Enqelab Square, on Karim Khan Zand Street and Karim Khan Zand Bridge
I feel
in my eyes
a cascade of bloody tears
that stirs a never-setting sun to breathe a song
I sense
in my every vein
in every heartbeat
now
the bells of a passing caravan ring: wake up
I cried out from the threshold of despair

If ı cry, would you hear my voice
In my verses
Can you touch
My tears, with your hands
I wouldn’t know songs were this beautiful
And words were insufficient
Before ı get into this trouble
I know, there is a place
Where it is possible to say everything
I got pretty close. I hear it
I can’t explain it
Orhan Veli Kanık 1914-1950
