instate of "during the years I was weary ",

"in the whacked years" can be better.

whacked's usage as 'tired' is really limited to certain regions and groups
it is slang/streettalk and then used as in: 'I am whacked out'
when used as such it can also mean: crazy or drugged
i used weary because it isn't used that often and sounds a bit poetic/stiff just like the standard expression 'yorgun yillar'

the one who is tires is the years not the one!!! it is a simile!! also it the third type of conditional sentences; you should have used "had" instead of "have"!! so this is completely mistranslated...

thank you for your comment

well, assuming that's true i wouldn't go so far as to say it is completely mistranslated

it is simple conditional past tense.
'if you had waited' would be 'beklemistinse'

yes in turkish it says 'weary years'
but means 'the yaers i was weary'
years cant be weary ofcourse
i had to look up what a simile was:-)
i don't see how it applies here
then again wiki(where i looked it up ) isn't the most reliable source or i didn't quite understand what it meant, also possible

The question is: does it capture the general meaning of the translation or not. The English is fine, but I have to know the answer to this question. If the answer is yes...it must be validated. If, as was said, this was completely mistranslated, then it must be rejected. Give me more input on this. Is it, IN ESSENCE, correct or not.
