turkish thoughts

It is important to vary the landscapes,
For the spirit to be happy,

But what soothes a lover?
The beauty of a mountain range,
The purity of a river, the silence of a lake,

It takes an inner garden to the soul,
To grow roses, orchids,
Daffodils and all kinds of sweets,

Only the sun has authority over the heart of man.



Il est important de varier les paysages,
Pour que l’esprit soit heureux,

Mais qu’est ce qui apaise un amoureux ?
La beauté d’une chaine de montagnes,
La pureté d’une rivière, le silence d’un lac,

Il faut un jardin intérieur à l’âme,
Pour y faire grandir des roses, des orchidées,
Des jonquilles et toutes sortes de douceurs,

Seul le soleil a autorité sur le cœur de l’homme.

Belle poésie qui laisse le lecteur se sentir élevé. La version française a une qualité plus séduisante, Yann.
