He Lives in Bursa Castle by Tom Sharp

Let’s say your lover, in prison for being a communist, has broken his chains. Let’s say he’s repairing the walls; and singing from the towers. The history of your people is his history, his burden. Its stones and soil are his. Its prison is his castle.

Yatar Bursa Kalesinde by Nâzım Hikmet

Sevdalınız komünisttir, on yıldan beri hapistir, yatar Bursa kalesinde. Hapis ammâ, zincirini kırmış yatar, en âlâ bir mertebeye ermiş yatar, yatar Bursa kalesinde. Memleket toprağındadır kökü, Bedreddin gibi taşır yükü, yatar Bursa kalesinde. Yüreği delinip batmadan, şarkısı tükenip bitmeden, cennetini kaybetmeden, yatar Bursa kalesinde.
