Translation of the song BALZAMİN artist Cemal Süreya

Sen el kadar bir kadınsındır

You are a small woman, small as a hand.

Sabahlara kadar beyaz ve kirpikli

White until the mornings and lashes

Bazı ağaçlara kapı komşu

neighbor to some trees

Bazı çiçeklerin andırdığı

resemble some flowers.

İş bu kadarla bitse iyi

It would be better if we could close this here

Bir insan edinmişsindir kendine

I assume you had a person to your own

Bir şarkı edinmişsindir, bir umut

you had a song, a hope.

Güzelsindir de oldukça, çocuksundur da

You must be pretty, you must be childish,

Saçlarınla beraber penceredeyken

while you are at the window with your hair,

Besbelli arandığından haberli

it is obvious, you aware that you had being searched.

Gemiler eskirken, deniz eskirken limanda

While the ships getting older, the sea getting older at the dock.

Sevgili

Loved one...
