Translation of the song Edip Cansever artist Cemal Süreya

Yeşil ipek gömleğinin yakası

The collar of his green silk shirt

Büyük zamana düşer.

Falls on the long time.

Her şeyin fazlası zararlıdır ya,

Too much of everything is harmful,

Fazla şiirden öldü Edip Cansever.

Edip Cansever died because of too much poetry.
