Yavaş yavaş ölürler
Seyahat etmeyenler.
Yavaş yavaş ölürler
Okumayanlar, müzik dinlemeyenler,
Vicdanlarında hoşgörüyü barındıramayanlar.

Yavaş yavaş ölürler
Alışkanlıklarına esir olanlar,
Her gün aynı yolları yürüyenler,
Ufuklarını genişletmeyen ve değiştirmeyenler,
Elbiselerinin rengini değiştirme riskine bile
girmeyenler,
Bir yabancı ile konuşmayanlar.

Yavaş yavaş ölürler
Heyecanlardan kaçınanlar,
Tamir edilen kırık kalplerin gözlerindeki pırıltıyı
görmek istemekten kaçınanlar.

Yavaş yavaş ölürler
Aşkta veya işte bedbaht olup yön değiştirmeyenler,
Rüyalarını gerçekleştirmek için risk almayanlar,
Hayatlarında bir kez dahi mantıklı tavsiyelerin dışına
çıkmamış olanlar
PABLO NERUDA

salomé dedi ki...

Thanks a lot... the poem is even nicer if you can believe ;)
so, here is english version of the poem for you..

Dies Slowly
He who becomes the slave of habit,
who follows the same routes every day,
who never changes pace,
who does not risk and change the color of his clothes,
who does not speak and does not experience,
dies slowly.

He or she who shuns passion,
who prefers black on white,
dotting ones "it’s" rather than a bundle of emotions, the kind that make your eyes glimmer,
that turn a yawn into a smile,
that make the heart pound in the face of mistakes and feelings,
dies slowly.

He or she who does not turn things topsy-turvy,
who is unhappy at work,
who does not risk certainty for uncertainty,
to thus follow a dream,
those who do not forego sound advice at least once in their lives,
die slowly.

He who does not travel, who does not read,
who does not listen to music,
who does not find grace in himself,
she who does not find grace in herself,
dies slowly.

He who slowly destroys his own self-esteem,
who does not allow himself to be helped,
who spends days on end complaining about his own bad luck, about the rain that never stops,
dies slowly.

He or she who abandon a project before starting it, who fail to ask questions on subjects he doesn't know, he or she who don't reply when they are asked something they do know,
die slowly.

Let's try and avoid death in small doses,
reminding oneself that being alive requires an effort far greater than the simple fact of breathing.

Only a burning patience will lead
to the attainment of a splendid happiness.

Pablo Neruda
