Easter Scarcelle- Italian tradition

Kapımı çalıp durma ölüm,
Açmam;
Ben ölecek adam değilim.

Alıştım bir kere gökyüzüne;
Bunca yıllık yoldaşımdır bulutlar.
Sıkılırım,
Kuşlar cıvıldamasa dallarında,
Yemişlerine doymadığım ağaçların,
Yağmur mu yağıyor,
Güneş mi var,
Farketmeliyim
Baktığım pencereden.
Deniz görünmeli çıksam balkona.
Tamamlamalı manzarayı
Karlı dağlarla sürülmüş tarlalar.
Ekmekten olamam doğrusu,
Nimet bildiğim;
Sudan geçemem,
Tuzludur teneffüs ettiğim hava.
Ya nasıl dururum olduğum yerde,
Öyle upuzun yatmış,
İki elim yanıma getirilmiş,
Hareketsiz,
Sükûta râmolmuş;
Sanki devrilmiş bir heykel?

Ellerim ne der sonra bana?
Soğumuş kalbime ne cevap veririm?
Utanmaz mıyım ayaklarımdan?

Kalkmalıyım,
Dolaşmalıyım,
Sokaklarda, parklarda.
El sallamalıyım
Giden trenlere,
Kalkan vapurlara.
Bilmeliyim,
Gölgelerin boyundan,
Saatin kaç olduğunu...
Islık çalmalıyım.
Türkü söylemeliyim
Yol boyunca,
Keyfimden ya hüznümden.
Geçmiş günleri hatırlamalıyım,
Dalıp dalıp akarsuya,
Hayaller kurmalıyım,
Güzel geleceğe dair.
Yanımdan geçenler olmalı,
Selâm almalıyım;
Robenson'u düşünmeliyim,
Garipliğini:
Şükretmeliyim
İnsanlar arasında olduğuma.
Nedir ki eninde sonunda ölüm?
Ayrı düşmek değil mi aşinalardan?

Kapımı çalıp durma ölüm,
Açmam;
Ben ölecek adam değilim.

先週の日曜日に久しぶりに浴衣を着ました。浴衣というのは夏に着る着物のことです。知っている方も多いと思いますが、浴衣や着物は着るのがとても難しいです。先週の日曜日は私の住んでいる町でコンサートがあり、日本人の方が来て、演奏するということだったので浴衣を着て出かけることにしました。コンサートは夜だったので、朝から何度もYouTubeを見ながら浴衣を着る練習をしました。浴衣は着物に比べて着るのが簡単ですが、きれいに着るのはとても難しいです。日本人でも着物や浴衣を自分で着られる人は少ないです。ちなみに私の母はもうすぐ70歳ですが自分で着ることはできません。

みなさんは着物を着てみたいですか？
着物を着てどこに行きたいですか？
よかったら私のレッスンに来て教えてください。

演奏する：えんそうする　play music
出かける：でかける　go out
