Aziz Isa Elkun
You’re the blue sky above me
The one I have always loved
Since I learned to walk
To see, to smell, to eat…
I have the deepest feeling for you
It’s always been there
Deep like the ocean
High like the Heaven Mountains
Though my roots are planted in the desert
Aziz İsa Elkün
Uygurca’dan Türkçeleştiren Gülgine Hashim
Gecenin ıssız gökyüzünde hislerim,
Sonsuz evrene dalıp yüzmekte pinhan,
Arıyor yıldızdan kendine yoldaş,
Yakıyor yüreği doğan bu arman…
Utandım karşıma çıkınca hilal,
“Merhaba” dedi kız, selamı verdi,
Melankolik yüreğimi sezdi mi geldi?!,
kibarca “sırdaşın olayım!” dedi.
Aziz Isa Elkun
From the morning when the spring bird sings,
From the garden full of spring scent,
From the gust of wind which kisses my chin and flees
I ask if my spring has arrived
Elkun is thinking of the distant past
Desiring every long awaited spring
Wishing for the early return of dark winter,
I ask if my spring has arrived
