1. PEACE IN THE HEARTS

…………………………………..

Old and young let’s approach each other.

The seeds of friendship have been planted among us.

“Let’s engraft the world with friendship” they said.

A symbol of PEACE and FRIENDSHIP we have become.

Let our children’s friendship be an example to the world.

Let us be heard and felt by the “adults”!

Let our love clear their hearts.

1990 FATMA ELGÜN, Teacher of Güllük

2. A FRIENDSHIP THAT’S DREAMING

I DREAM of a world,

where every corner is filled with friendship.

Where all the people are brother, sister, friends,

Like birds flying free in the sky,

Away from conflicts and from wars.

I DREAM of an island

That lives in PEACE and BROTHERHOOD,

With people warm and kind

Like the people of Leros who started this warm friendship.

With Kosta, Saniye and George,

Mehmet, Simela, Raşit and Froso

all in each others’ hearts, friendly and brotherly.

In a place like this I dream that our friendship lives.

I DREAM of a friendship with Hindayet, Levent, Fatma and Katerina,

who managed to make it solid and avoid war.

I DREAM of a place

where the sea is soothed by PEACE

And the mountains are green with LOVE.

I DREAM of a world

Where people will be walking hand in hand, united in one heart.

I DREAM of a world with the friendship and love of the poet YUNUS

I DREAM of a world that will relate our friendship to all.

With Poppy, Hacer, Velis and Hatice.

3. LONG LIVE PEACE, LONG LIVE

FRIENDSHIP

Let’s sow the seeds of peace.

Let’s leave hostility behind.

And all make our friendship strong.

Let all our children inherit this message.

Long live peace, long live friendship.

4. IF4. IF...

If you love the mountains, then you can listen to me.

The fragrance of the forests, the song of the birds,

The freshness of the rivers, I can bring to you.

If you love the sky, then you can listen to me.

On my white wings I will place you,

And take you all over the world.

If you love the sea, then you can listen to me.

With my azure waves,

Your heated hands I’ll refresh.

If you love the world, then you can listen to me.

With the golden rays of my sun,

My most beautiful songs for you I will sing.

If you love all the people, then you can listen to me.

To you I bring the Love, the brotherhood, the friendship of the world.

December 31 - 1992HACER GULER, Teacher of Gulluk

5. LIGHT OF RECONCILITION

…………………………………………………

Let the children hold hands and laugh,

Play and talk with their hearts.

Children are hope for a better future.

Let the sun of Leros and Güllük become

The light of reconciliation.

1992 HICRAN NURTEN ERTEN, Teacher of Güllük
