Отрывок из повести “Собачье сердце” М.А. Булгаков

Yaş otuz beş! yolun yarısı eder.

Dante gibi ortasındayız ömrün.

Delikanlı çağımızdaki cevher,

Yalvarmak, yakarmak nafile bugün,

Gözünün yaşına bakmadan gider.

 

Şakaklarıma kar mı yağdı ne var?

Benim mi Allahım bu çizgili yüz?

Ya gözler altındaki mor halkalar?

Neden böyle düşman görünürsünüz,

Yıllar yılı dost bildiğim aynalar?

 

Zamanla nasıl değişiyor insan!

Hangi resmime baksam ben değilim.

Nerde o günler, o şevk, o heyecan?

Bu güler yüzlü adam ben değilim;

Yalandır kaygısız olduğum yalan.

 

Hayal meyal şeylerden ilk aşkımız;

Hatırası bile yabancı gelir.

Hayata beraber başladığımız,

Dostlarla da yollar ayrıldı bir bir;

Gittikçe artıyor yalnızlığımız.

 

Gökyüzünün başka rengi de varmış!

Geç farkettim taşın sert olduğunu.

Su insanı boğar, ateş yakarmış!

Her doğan günün bir dert olduğunu,

İnsan bu yaşa gelince anlarmış.

 

Ayva sarı nar kırmızı sonbahar!

Her yıl biraz daha benimsediğim.

Ne dönüp duruyor havada kuşlar?

Nerden çıktı bu cenaze? ölen kim?

Bu kaçıncı bahçe gördüm tarumar?

 

Neylersin ölüm herkesin başında.

Uyudun uyanamadın olacak.

Kimbilir nerde, nasıl, kaç yaşında?

Bir namazlık saltanatın olacak,

Taht misali o musalla taşında.

El otro día me crucé con un artículo que mencionaba que los hurtos en bares y restaurante habían aumentado, y me pareció un tema cuiroso por lo que he decidio comentarlo en el episodio de hoy.

Espero que disfrutes el episodio y te sirva para mejorar tu español. Después de escucharlo, no te olvides de dejar una valoración en la plataforma desde donde lo estés escuchando, ya que eso me ayuda un montón a correr la voz y que otros estudiantes encuentren el episodio más fácilmente.
