You, God, who live next door--If at times, through the long night, I trouble youwith my urgent knocking--this is why: I hear you breathe so seldom.I know you're all alone in that room. If you should be thirsty, there's no oneto get you a glass of water.I wait listening, always. Just give me a sign!I'm right here...Sen komu tanr,Uzun geceler bazen,Kapna vura vura uyandryorsam seniSoluman seyrek duyduumdandr...Bilirim, yalnzsn odanda.Sana birey gerekse kimse yok,Bir yudum su versin aradnda.Hep dinlerim, yeter ki bir ses edin,yle yaknm sana...
