Vilyam Molut
Translated by Aziz Isa Elkun
Like dew under the sunlight
my love, your eyes are shining
walking in paradise like a fairy
you open the door of my feelings
Your mystery touches me
your charming glance melts my soul
like morning wind escaping after a kiss
suddenly wakes my sleeping mood
A beautiful smile falls from your face
your pure soul reflected in it like a mirror
even though the journey of life is not straight
one day the bird of fortune will land on you
Aziz Isa Elkun
When the Spring flower daffodils open shyly
When the nightingale lands in my garden to sing
When apricot trees wear veils of white blossom
I say to my long awaited Spring, you must come today.
When the frosty sky gives birth to the warm sun
When the migrating crane flies away to seek the Spring
When Zaynap* misses her lover with longing
I say to my long awaited Spring, you must come today.
On a morning when the sun shines its bright smile
Why are our hearts gloomy and full of longing
I would be happy to be a Spring bud growing
I say to my long awaited Spring, you must come today.
Aziz Ia Elkun
The sun shines above the volcano
By the sea where Mussolini’s boot was burned
Their green orchards were full of fruit
Their fortresses were the tallest of all.
Fish swim merrily through the sea
The smell of wine has not yet evaporated from the pot
A couple on the beach forget the world
A love song sung at high tide.
The silver-coated water gleams
Love’s sails blush on the horizon
Unlucky mountains with great sorrow in their hearts –
Shake the earth when they explode.
