halil .... thanks for the post ........... always surprises me how similar GC & TC's are .......... yet so much hate between us. I think its time we all united in a fair and democratic country where all citizens are equal.

Thanks
again all the best to you and your family and your community ;) May 2011 bring peace to our Country .... and by the way the clip with the Souvla .... might as well have been in any Cypriot homestead. ;) cheers

My last hope has gone

Like a bird, it has flown away.

What is left behind

Are all lies, lies.
*
Inside me is the taste of bitter longing.

My last hope has gone

Like a bird, it has flown away.

What is left behind

Are all lies, lies.

*
Now I have one wish,

The lovers 'in love'

May God bring them happily together

Together happily and content.

I will be content with that.

*
I will reminisce with your image

I will pass my time in consolation

I will burn for her troubles

So long as 'she' is happy/



As long as she is happy.

This is the translation of the above song. Not very good in translation but the feeling is there. One of the most poignant/melancholic songs in the Turkish language (IMO).

This is the feeling (I think Halil wishes to convey). My favorite too.

Happy New Year Oracles my favourite new antarti ..... I found the words of the song powerful and if I take the TC factor out of it I can apply it to the plight of Cypriot refugees and the enclaved people who were denied a Christmas s liturgy, because they live among barbarians.

Thanks Humanist - Xronia Polla to you and your family. :D

I like your interpretation.

I was just wondering why halil thinks it is hopeless for TCs ...
