Ships come and go

Tourists packs cram on the Galata Bridge

Mosques ezan reverberate in the distance

*

The consonants and vowels of soulful frienship!

Soulful Family!

*

Whilst I eat two pieces of rose

Turkish Delight,

sunk in coconut,

topped by a perfect almond --

I think of you...

*

The wavy Bosphorus leads the way,

Thoughts come and go,

A Soul Bond remains!

*

Ruyalarimda, beni ziyaret ediyorsun.

Son zamanlarda ...

Umarim iyisindir.

Unutma!

Sam in Gul Diyarinda her zaman yerin olacaktir.

Her zaman ve --

Elbette ilelebet.

Zira, sen Kurbis Bey sin!

My Dearest -- Froggy Frog!

Froggy, froggy frog!

And every Lady Cosette struggling at the Straights of Life

ought to be blessed with a Monsieur Madeleine

whose brainy loveful tender wit springs through --

his emerald eyes.

Allah a emanet ol!

Ben du buralardayim... daima
