Notes

Notes:

The word “gövde” can mean body, trunk, stem, carcass…

Last line: in Turkish, “iz birakmak” is a phrasal verb that means “leave trace” but can also mean “leave behind” or “scar”. And here, the word “ten” which means “skin” is also linked to the verb “birakmak” (to leave). Literally “to leave skin”. “Flesh” is also another possible translation for “ten”.
