Annabel Lee

Edgar Allan Poe

Türkçe

Senelerce senelerce evveldi
Bir deniz ülkesinde
Yaşayan bir kız vardı bileceksiniz
İsmi; Annabel Lee
Hiçbir şey düşünmezdi sevilmekten
Sevmekten başka beni
O çocuk ben çocuk, memleketimiz
O deniz ülkesiydi
Sevdalı değil karasevdalıydık
Ben ve Annabel Lee
Göklerde uçan melekler
Kıskanırlardı bizi

Birgün, işte bu yüzden göze geldi
O deniz ülkesinde
Üşüdü bir rüzgarından bulutun
Güzelim Annabel Lee
Götürdüler el üstünde
Koyup gittiler beni
Mezarı oradadır şimdi
O deniz ülkesinde.

Biz daha bahtiyardık meleklerden
Onlar kıskanırdı bizi
Evet! Bu yüzden "Şahidimdir herkes ve deniz ülkesi"
Bir gece rüzgarından bulutun
Üşüdü gitti Annabel Lee

Sevdadan yana kim olursa olsun
Yaşca başca ileri
Geçemezlerdi bizi
Ne yedi kat göklerdeki melekler
Ne deniz dibi cinleri
Hiçbiri ayıramaz beni senden
Güzelim Annabel Lee

Ay gelir ışır, hayalin erişir
Güzelim Annabel Lee
Orda gecelerim uzanır beklerim
Sevgilim sevgilim hayatım gelinim
O azgın sahildeki
Yattığın yerde seni.

English

it was many and many a year ago,
in a kingdom by the sea,
that a maiden there lived whom you may know
by the name of annabel lee;--
and this maiden she lived with no other thought
than to love and be loved by me.
she was a child and i was a child,
in this kingdom by the sea,
but we loved with a love that was more than love--
i and my annabel lee--
with a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
coveted her and me.

and this was the reason that, long ago,
in this kingdom by the sea,
a wind blew out of a cloud by night
chilling my annabel lee;
so that her high-born kinsman came
and bore her away from me,
to shut her up in a sepulchre
in this kingdom by the sea.

the angels, not half so happy in heaven,
went envying her and me:--
yes! that was the reason (as all men know,
in this kingdom by the sea)
that the wind came out of a cloud, chilling
and killing my annabel lee.

but our love it was stronger by far than the love
of those who were older than we--
of many far wiser than we-
and neither the angels in heaven above,
nor the demons down under the sea,
can ever dissever my soul from the soul
of the beautiful annabel lee:--

for the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
of the beautiful annabel lee;
and the stars never rise but i see the bright eyes
of the beautiful annabel lee;
and so, all the night-tide, i lie down by the side
of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride,
in her sepulchre there by the sea--
in her tomb by the side of the sea.
