Biz hep Ã§ocuk kalmalÄ±ydÄ±k aslÄ±nda.
ÃœÃ§ taÅŸ, Ã¼Ã§ cam olmalÄ±ydÄ± hayat.
En bÃ¼yÃ¼k kavgamÄ±z gazoz kapaÄŸÄ±ndan Ã§Ä±kmalÄ±ydÄ±
ve en bÃ¼yÃ¼k acÄ±mÄ±z
Ã¶ÄŸretmenimizin baÅŸka ÅŸehre tayini olmalÄ±ydÄ±.
Biz hep Ã§ocuk kalmalÄ±ydÄ±k aslÄ±nda.
BÃ¼yÃ¼meÄŸe Ã¶zenmeliydik bÃ¼yÃ¼meden...
Ä°nsan dediÄŸin,
yÃ¼rÃ¼dÃ¼kÃ§e yorulan, yoruldukÃ§a aÄŸlayan bir taÅŸ deÄŸil mi?
Ã‡Ã¶...zmesi zor deÄŸil.
Sen ansÄ±n, yaÅŸanan zaman

Title

In fact, we should remain children.

Translation

Engleski

Translated by

Target language: Engleski

In fact, we should have remained children.
Life should have consisted of three stones and three windows.
Our biggest fight should have come out of the cap of a bottle of mineral water.
And our greatest pain should have been the appointment of our teacher to another city
We should have remained children actually.
We should have practised growing up before we did.
The so-called "human being"
Isn't it a stone that gets tired walking, and cries when it gets tired?
It's not difficult to understand
You're the moment, the instant lived.

Could you explain that in different words? Laura, perhaps you could help me here, please... CC: kafetzou

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	The idea of this is that the pain we experience should not be worse than these minor things we might have experienced as a child. Our biggest fight should have emerged from the cap of a bottle of (sparkling) mineral water. And our greatest pain should have been the re-assignment of our teacher to another city In fact, we should have remained children. ... Isn't the one who gets tired while walking and who cries when tired a stone? - to be honest, I don't understand this one, but that's what it means.

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	This was accepted almost half a year ago. I don't think we should be changing it now, although I admit that your version sounds better in English. On the other hand, it's not that s/he gets tired of walking - it's that s/he gets tired while walking.
