I'm joining the human flood of Istanbul We swing hammers, we break concrete, we make mortar I look at the horizons of hope I enter their construction sites, tea houses, factories I keep adding the near and far What really killed me was despair, my beloved... One hand goes to Eluard, the other goes to Gökçe. One is in the mountains of Sivas, at a Mediterranean wedding And wherever man has cultivated beauty, The heart is attentive, the mind is alert Lack of books would really kill me, my beloved. This is why I hug you, to the growing resistance..."
