Learn Basic Spanish: Las comidas del día (the meals of the day)

Durante mi estancia como profesor para nepalís en India, algunas noches entre té y té, disfrutaba de charlas sobre el Himalaya. Fábulas del Nepal sobre el origen del mundo, de la cascada que nace el Ganges desde la cabellera de Shiva y también de las hazañas de los sherpas que conocen hasta el más mínimo secreto de la cordillera más impresionante de nuestro planeta. Casi todos decían lo mismo: el Everest es el más alto, pero no es el más difícil de ascender.

Today's piece of vocabulary is to "get by". If you can get by with what you have, you can manage to live or do things in a satisfactory way. Not to have great success or do things particularly well, but simply to reach a level that you consider to be OK.

Отрывок из "Три товарища" Э.М. Ремарк

Kapımı çalıp durma ölüm,
Açmam;
Ben ölecek adam değilim.

Alıştım bir kere gökyüzüne;
Bunca yıllık yoldaşımdır bulutlar.
Sıkılırım,
Kuşlar cıvıldamasa dallarında,
Yemişlerine doymadığım ağaçların,
Yağmur mu yağıyor,
Güneş mi var,
Farketmeliyim
Baktığım pencereden.
Deniz görünmeli çıksam balkona.
Tamamlamalı manzarayı
Karlı dağlarla sürülmüş tarlalar.
Ekmekten olamam doğrusu,
Nimet bildiğim;
Sudan geçemem,
Tuzludur teneffüs ettiğim hava.
Ya nasıl dururum olduğum yerde,
Öyle upuzun yatmış,
İki elim yanıma getirilmiş,
Hareketsiz,
Sükûta râmolmuş;
Sanki devrilmiş bir heykel?

Ellerim ne der sonra bana?
Soğumuş kalbime ne cevap veririm?
Utanmaz mıyım ayaklarımdan?

Kalkmalıyım,
Dolaşmalıyım,
Sokaklarda, parklarda.
El sallamalıyım
Giden trenlere,
Kalkan vapurlara.
Bilmeliyim,
Gölgelerin boyundan,
Saatin kaç olduğunu...
Islık çalmalıyım.
Türkü söylemeliyim
Yol boyunca,
Keyfimden ya hüznümden.
Geçmiş günleri hatırlamalıyım,
Dalıp dalıp akarsuya,
Hayaller kurmalıyım,
Güzel geleceğe dair.
Yanımdan geçenler olmalı,
Selâm almalıyım;
Robenson'u düşünmeliyim,
Garipliğini:
Şükretmeliyim
İnsanlar arasında olduğuma.
Nedir ki eninde sonunda ölüm?
Ayrı düşmek değil mi aşinalardan?

Kapımı çalıp durma ölüm,
Açmam;
Ben ölecek adam değilim.
