Ode to a Chicken Bouillon (in Turkish)

Ben bir tavuk suyuyum,
Kare
Hareketsiz
Leziz kızarmış küçük ekmek parçaları
Alüminyum folyoya sarılmış
Bir kavanozun içine mühürlenmiş
Çorba potansiyelli
Bazı insanlar İtalyan minestronu
Bazı insanlar balıklı sebze çorbasıdır
Ben geleceğin çorba suyu
Su ver bana ve özgür bırak beni.

Translated into Turkish by Mrs. Isaac Rueban

I am a chicken bouillon
Square
Unmoving
A flavored crouton
Wrapped in tin foil
Sealed in a jar
Soup potential
Some people are minestrone
Some people are chowder
I am broth to be
Give me water and set me free

The original version in English written by Dan Allen
