These Beautiful Days Have Been My Ruin

Orhan Veli Kanik

These beautiful days have been my ruin,
In this kind of weather I resigned
From my job in the Foundation’s office
In this kind of weather I got addicted to tobacco In this kind of weather I fell in love
I forgot to bring home bread and salt
In this kind of day
My addiction to poetry
Surged in this kind of weather
These beautiful days have been my ruin.
