Don't Go, A Turkish Poem By Nuri Can In English Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

Don't go
My tears will fill the seas
The rains will stop falling
The winds will stand still in solitude
Branches will break on the trees
Wild flowers, butterflies will die

Don't go
The stars will disappear in the skies
Children will not take their breaths in
Winds will not know where to blow
All springs will go dry
Flowers will fade in my heart
I will be saddened in despair

Don't go
You are everything to me, my northern star
The morning breeze that kisses your hair will become an orphan
Cranes will not land here, the nightingales will not sing
The flowers will not grow in my garden, oh my love

Don't go
Do not leave my heart to pains
I cannot bear this separation storm
My memories of you and loneliness will kill me
My head will bend down in desperation
My eyes will get wet hearing old songs
I cannot take your absence
It will be a death sentence to me

Don't go
My jouney will come to an end
My train will stop on a station buried deep in snow

Don't go,
Stay with me, do not leave me
Do not leave me in desperation,
All the forests will go on fire
The birds will fly away
The city will burn down to ashes
And I will die in your absence

Don't go
All the forests will burn down
The birds will fly away
The city will turn into ashes
And I will die in your absence.
