Fordítás - Török-Angol - AÅŸk aşıkı ÅŸir eder, Aslanı zencir eder, Katı taşı...

Just out of curiosity - what is the symbolism of the 'making of a lion a chain' part? Is there one? Could you explain what it means?

I don't have any idea, really

for me;
'making of a lion a chain'..> it chains a lion.

Lilian has put a question under the original text:

All references about the original quote shows: "Aşk aşıkı şir eder, Aslanı zencir eder, Katı taşı mum eder"

Does that change the meaning?

Well, 'ÅŸir' is not a word used in contemporary Turkish. Just looked at an Ottoman Turkish dictionary. It means 'ÅŸair/poet'. So no problem.

OK, great

I like merdogan's suggestion as it makes sense to me; do you agree with his suggestion?
