Tradução - Turco-Inglês - kuÅŸ kanadi gibi kirik Yar tennine haram deÄŸdi...

Hi handyy,

By "blotted" do you mean "dry" or "stained"?

and by "lindens", "basswood"? If so, I think I still prefer: "Lindens shed tears from the soul"

and "burried in the ground"

Hi,

--> blotted = stained
--> linden = basswood

---------

"Ihlamurlar can aÄŸladi", here it exactly says, "Lindens wept souls(rather than tears)", so I had some doubts while translating it.

OK, let's set a poll and see if someone comes up with any ideas.

hello handyy, lilian

nice translation.
Instead of just 'blotted' maybe
"tarnished/soiled/stained/blotted with sin"?

My suggestions:

was blotted --> has been tainted
split --> separation

The tree is called "linden" in English - there's one right in front of my house, but I agree with Lilian that it sounds more poetic if we use a more literal translation: "The lindens grieved from their souls".

Dear All,
I really want to thank you so much for your nice help
Thank you very much to having a time in order to translate me this Turkish Lyrics I do appreciate your help.

Sorry for being late

Thank you all for your help

handyy, you didn't change "blotted". This is not correct.

I hope nobody minds, but I changed it.

no problem! but I just want to learn why "blotted" is not correct. I sincerely want to learn, doesn't "to blot" have the same meaning with "to taint" (--> to corrupt morally)??

Nowadays, "to blot" usually means to soak up liquid, as in "I blotted the floor with a paper towel". I've never heard it with the same meaning as "to taint", but maybe in Britain or in an old-fashioned context. Also, the noun "blot" seems to have that moral meaning more often: "There's a blot on his character."

But "to taint" is much better here because it's totally unambiguous - every English speaker would understand that it means "morally stained".

I got it Kafetzou. Thank you so much

Also, I think separation is better than split for the same reason - less easily misunderstood.
