Hope makes a good breakfast but it is lousy as dinner.
Umuttan iyi bir kahvaltı olur. Fakat akşam yemeği olarak beş para etmez.

böyle sevilmez
i loved
o mu
could not have
seven mahvetmez
thema durch war ich für ihn am ende
but also a few undefined times before
in klaren verhåltnissen zu leben
arzusuna geçti uzun senelerinkinin yerine
gene hiç uyarmadan sakince birdenbire
aber du unverbesserlicher ignorant
keep refusing against your will still
dich aus deiner herzenstiefe zu befreien
bu kadar da aşka muhtaç olur mu bir can

Hani derler ya,
Ben sensiz yaşayamam, diye.
Ben onlardan değilim.
Ben sensiz de yaşarım;
Ama,
Seninle bir başka yaşarım…
[Poetry and Image Source: Nazım Hikmet]
You know what they say:
“I can’t live without you.”
I am not one of them.
I’ll live also without you;
but
with you,
my life would surely be something else…
[Translation Source: Self]
May it be through Turkish, English or any other world language – how do you define “living”? How about “life”?
