İngilizce-Türkçe Kısa Hikayeler

THE KANGAROO WITHOUT ITS CHILD

A kangaroo hadn’t been able to have a baby
It had adopted a rabbit and had put it into its bag
The kangaroo had been happy and so had the rabbit
But the others had been angry so,

They had made a plan to get rid of the rabbit
They had kidnapped the rabbit while sleeping
The kangaroo had seen her empty bag when she had woken up
She had been shocked and sorry

And had made an arrangement with the poisonous snake
In the bag had been the snake and the kangaroo among the others
Being afraid of the snake the others had given the rabbit back
And they had said that that was a plan in a plan.




YAVRUSU OLMAYAN KANGURU

Kangurunun birinin yavrusu olmazmış
Bir tavşanı evlat edinip torbasına koymuş
Kanguru memnun, tavşan mutlu
Ama diğer kangurular kızgınmışlar.

Tavşandan kurtulmak için, bir plan yapmışlar
Onlar uykudayken tavşanı kaçırmışlar
Kanguru uyanınca bakmış torbası boş
Şaşırmış kalmış buna olmuş içi bir hoş.

Kanguru zehirli yılanla anlaşma yapmış
Torbada yılan, kanguru kangurular arasında
Yılandan korkan kangurular tavşanı geri vermişler
Plan plan içinde böyle olur demişler.

ELEPHANT BOY

An African Negro Boy
Had been a magician’s apprentice
Had changed himself into an elephant
Instead of changing an elephant into human

While he had been walking,
In the fields and mountains
A huge thorn had pricked his foot
The elephant had felt too much pain

He had asked the lion, the tiger, the eagle
The fox, the wolf, the owl
The rabbit for help
Whoever had seen the elephant had run away.

Mourning and crying
The elephant had returned to his village
His mother, father, uncle
Had escaped from the elephant with childish voice.

But brave Toro
Moro’s friend
Hadn’t known what fear had been
Had pulled the thorn out.

Moro had been an elephant forever
Hadn’t left Toro
Their story had become
Legendary in the world.




FİL ÇOCUK

Afrikalı bir zenci çocuk
Büyücü çırağıymış
Fili insan yapayım darken
Kendini fil yapmış

Dağlarda, bayırlarda
Gezerken ayağına
Kocaman bir diken batmış
Filin canı çok acımış

Aslandan, kaplandan, kartaldan
Tilkiden, kurttan, baykuştan
Tavşandan yardım istemiş
Fili gören korkup kaçmış

Fil ağlana, sızlana
Köyüne geri dönmüş
Anası, babası, amcası
Çocuk sesli filden kaçmış

Fakat cesur Toro
Moro’nun arkadaşı
Korku nedir bilmezmiş
Dikeni çekip çıkarmış

Moro hep fil kalmış
Toro’dan ayrılmamış
Onların öyküleri
Dünyada destanlaşmış.

FABLE OF OLD WOMAN

There was an old woman
In the night, day she was crying
Continually shedding her tears
Splashing like a spring.

Home you designate is only a room
How can we live in there?
Always have soap in the mourning and evening
Troubles are waiting for their turn.

One day a man arrived at there
Gave greeting with the woman
“I purchased this place
Make it emptied” he said.

“Woe to my aggrieved head
My tears never stopped shedding
Where can l go to
Have no stone already erected, too.”

“You are existing today, tomorrow you are absent
Have a habitation for yourself;
You assemble your bed
on the land over there…”

“Heavens! Is it acceptable, my son,
To hit a kick to who fallen down?
Don’t make, don’t act,
Is it possible to stay in the street?”

Day turned, tomorrow arrived
She moved from her room
Her friend in the night
Was moon and star…

YAŞLI KADIN MASALI

Bir yaşlı kadın vardı
Gece, gündüz ağlardı
Gözyaşları durmadan
Çağlayan bir pınardı.

Ev dediğin tek oda
Yaşanır mı burada?
Sabah, akşam hep çorba
Dertler bekler sırada.

Bir gün bir adam geldi
Kadına selam verdi
“Satın aldım burayı
Boşalt odayı “dedi.

“Vay benim dertli başım
Hiç dinmedi gözyaşım
Nerelere giderim
Yok bir dikili taşım.“ .

“Bugün var, yarın yoksun
Kalacak yerin olsun;
Karşıdaki arsaya
Yatağını kurarsın. ”

“Aman oğlum olur mu?
Düşene vurulur mu?
Etmeyin, eylemeyin
Sokakta yatılır mı? “

Gün döndü, yarın oldu
Odasından taşındı
Geceleri arkadaş
Ay ile yıldız oldu.
