Keskin Bıçak

Geldim yarım, kaldım yarım
Neydi, ne oldu şu tez canım
Ertelendim hayattan, sevdim yarım
Derken bugün olmazsa, olur yarın

Kendimden kaçak, yarim keskin bıçak
Nerde bende o yürek yardan cayacak
Kendimden kaçak, yarim keskin bıçak
Nerde bende o yürek yardan cayacak
Hep köşe bucak ...

Ben bu dünyayı anlayamadım,
Niyetlendim de altından kalkamadım.

Title
Sharp knife
Translation
English

Translated by turkishmiss
Target language: English

I came imperfectly and have stayed that way
What was it? ..and what has happened to my impatient soul?
I am delayed in life, I loved deficiently.
Then, if it doesn’t happen today, it will happen tomorrow.

Running away from myself, my lover is a sharp knife.
Where is the courage in me to abandon my lover?
In every nook and cranny...

I wasn’t able to understand this world.
I intended, but I wasn't able to overcome it.

Hi Miss, I'd only change the first line just to sound more natural into:

"I came imperfectly and (have) stayed that way"

What do you think?

Merdogan, I think 'half' here has the meaning of 'imperfectly' as well?

what 'has' happened to my impatient soul

Derken bugün olmazsa, olur yarın : isn't derken something like 'saying' or maybe here 'thinking if it doesn't happen today it will happen tomorrow' ?

Beautiful poem

Chantal, if you like the poem, then, I think you should listen to its music as well!

Have a look at here.

handyy.. isn't it 'myself' instead if 'himself' in the 2nd paragraph, as merdogan pointed out?

While listening to the song, I've always thought of that part as "kendinden kaçak"..
So, I didn't realize it. Yes, dear, it has to be "myself".

..and thank you Merdogan, for your vigilance.
