Yitirmeden

















Pinhani - Yitirmeden

An old song that makes me think every time I listen.

Would you have time to sit and think?
You don't understand before you lose them
Your loved ones are at the end of the road.
Hug that person at every chance,
Instead of crying after they're gone.
Won't bring them back no matter how much you cry.
Maybe they're standing by you,
Your mom and dad, as much as they can,
Even your (older) brother's 47.

Life is like a black box
It opens for everyone when the day comes
But if you ask, it's always too late.

Don't think our good days are over
Maybe we'll never have any better.
But every day is beautiful still,
It's obvious it's hard to stay close
Always easiest to stay far.
But the hardest is to be alone

Maybe your first lover's sleeping
Next to you, on your left side
Every memory is hung on your wall

Life is like a black box
It opens for everyone when the day comes
But if you ask, it's always too late.

Maybe your first lover's sleeping
Next to you, on your left side
Every memory is hung on your wall

Life is like a black box
It opens for everyone when the day comes
But if you ask, it's always too late.

Harita

"Cok zaman once, henuz gencken ve anilarim tazeyken, onun hakkinda yazmayi bir kac kez denedim. Ama tek bir satir bile yazamadim. Biliyordum, ilk satiri yazabilsem gerisi kendiliginden gelecekti, ama basaramiyordum bu ilk satiri yazmayi. Her sey fazlasiyla belirgindi, acikti ve nereden baslayacagimi bilmiyordum. Nasil bir harita, asiri ayrintili oldugunda pek ise yaramazsa, oyleydi iste. Ama simdi biliyorum ki, ancak ve ancak eksik kalmis dusunceler ve anilar, yazinin mukemmel olmayan teknesine dolusabilir. Naoko'yla ilgili anilarim her gecen gun biraz daha silindikce, onu gitgide daha iyi anliyorum. Simdi artik neden benden onu unutmami istedigini biliyorum. Kuskusuz bunu Naoko da biliyordu. Onun bende kalan anisinin er yada gec silinecegini. Iste tam da bu yuzden onu unutmamam icin yalvarmis ve onun var oldugunu hep hatirlamami istemisti."

Who Has Dreamed

"Who has drank will drink, who has dreamed will dream. He will not give up that alluring abyss, that sound of the fathomless, that the entrance into forbidden, that effort to handle the impalpable and to see the invisible; he returns to it, bends over it, he takes one step forward, then two; and thus it is that one penetrates into the impenetrable and there is that one finds the boundless release of infinite mediations."

Victor Hugo, (From "Love" by Leo Buscaglia)

The Question

"Exactly!" said Deep Thought. "So once you do know what the question actually is, you'll know what the answer means."

Wonderful Life

















Smith & Burrows - Wonderful Life

Here I go out to sea again
The sunshine fills my hair
And dreams hang in the air
Gulls in the sky and in my blue eye
You know it feels unfair
There's magic everywhere
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life

The sun's in your eyes
the heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
because you're there
And I need a friend
oh I need a friend
to make me happy
Not stand here on my own
Look at me standing
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life

I need a friend, oh I need a friend
To make me happy, not so alone
Look at me here
Here on my own again
Up straight in the sunshine

No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life

No need to run and hide
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
No need to laugh and cry
It's a wonderful, wonderful life
