Dreaming Elephant

"Oh, why do not I fly?"

A gray elephant dreamed of this.

-Oh, okay, I'm waving,

By the summer, there would be a champion.

Around me flies fly,

Wasps, mosquitoes, bugs.

They are really really crumbs,

But they are still given wings. "

... On his trunk  a butterfly suddenly lands,

The elephant's eyes widened:

"Ah, a miracle! You would not want to,

teach me to fly, just a little ? "

But the butterfly, spreading its wings,

Waved softly and hovering:

"Forgive me elephant, but all the forces are

Ineffective - flight is in vain. "

The elephant was saddened: "Well, what!

And how is the flight, what's in a dream?

They cost me dear life,

I'm dreaming about this day! "

The elephant dreamed very, very much

Waved his ears, flinched,

And put all the effort here,

It was done, marvelous - he flew!

That was the magic elephant seen!

Here hung a couple of tons!

He scared the crowds around,

The laws of attraction were overtaken by him!

So let us do the same miracles,

To the dream we fly friends!

One Day Will Come

One day will come,

I quietly summarize the results,

I will go on the chosen path,

I just left the dust to myself,

One day that day will come...

One day I will open my shoulders,

As they say, what is evening?

I will follow my dream

And I will invite you with myself,

As they say, what is evening?

I truly believe in love

He was and will be forever

Let our time be short,

It will come to you, as it did to me.

It was and will be forever...

Translation Mustafa Gökçek
