The Love Of Kutlu Şiiri - Hasan Koca

1.
I want to be hanged for you
While I'm alive, Kutlu said
I want to live for you
When I'm about to be hanged...

Which the Hıdrellez fire could not melt,
The July sun could not heat
And which a woman's chapped lips from lust
Could not affect for a moment,
Kutlu's heart melted in a week.
(Kutlu also melted).

2.
I want to undress for you
Before going to bed, said Kutlu
I want to dress for you
Before going outside...

He had feelings waiting to be told,
Passions waiting to be lived,
And loves
Hidden on the lips of a wandering bard.

3.
His love
A glass putty
That a glazier apprentice carries with him
-Which is kept ready to be glued-

Candan is unaware of everything...
