Tradução - Turco-Inglês - gurbet elde bir başıma kimim var ki? senden...

If I say I'm dying...?

Well ... I wondered about that too, but it's definitely past tense. I'll ask a Turkish expert. Serba?

"if I say I am dying "

I think this is better.

it is not "bones" it is "thyme"

Maybe we could imitate that "past progressive-type" in English with:
If I said I was dying...
?
although it's actually a conditional form...

Oh man - kemik = bones, kekik = thyme!!! OOPS!!!

Thanks for the suggestion, Ian - I did it that way, although to be honest I really don't understand this construction. This means that the verb "ölmek" means "to die", but also means "to be dying" - how confusing! But I remember now that it has come up before - in a translation of an old poem or something.

Thank you serba!!!
