Döndüm daldan kopan kuru yapra
Seher yeli dağıt beni, kır beni

Götür tozlarımı buradan uzağa

Yarin çıplak ayanına sür beni

Yedi yıldır uğramadım yurduma

Dert ortağı aramadım derdime

Geleceksen bir gün düşüp ardıma

Title
Leylim Ley
Translation
English

Translated by kafetzou
Target language: English

I turned into a dry leaf breaking off of a branch
Dawn wind, disperse me, crush me

Take my dust far away from here

Spread me on the naked leg of my sweetheart

For seven years I haven't been able to visit my homeland

I have not looked for someone to share my sorrow

If you come one day marching behind me
Remarks about the translation
This is from one of my favourite songs, "Leylim Ley", and I believe the fourth line should be "Yarin çıplak ayağına sür beni" - I have translated it as such.

merhaba Kafetzou,
metinde "dert ortağı aramadım derdime" diyor, sen "...aradım" olarak çevirmişsin, büyük ihtimalle gözünden kaçtı...

kolay gelsin..

the following parts are not translated correctly:

1. Döndüm daldan kopan kuru yapra(ğa) should be:
I turned into/became a dry leaf breaking off the branch

2. Dert ortağı aramadım derdime should be:
I have not looked for someone to share my sorrow

3. Geleceksen bir gün düşüp ardıma should be
If you come one day tagging along me

1 & 2: oops! Thanks.
3: My translation is OK - "fall in behind" is a military term meaning to start marching behind someone. Tagging along sounds more like children. But I'll try to find something that could would be less easily misunderstood.

Bir dal şafak rüzgarından bitiriyor olan kuru bir yaprağa dönmüş olan, beni dağıtır, benim, buradan benim tozumun uzakta, benim, benim, benim üzüntümü paylaşması için birisini aramadığım benim anayurdumu ziyaret edemediğim yedi yıl boyunca benim sevgilimin çıplak bacağında beni yaydığını aldığımı ezer, eğer sen, bir gün gelirsen, ve benim arkamda yürümeye başlarsan

No, there is not a connection between the two lines but I think it's better to translate the 7th line as "If you come one day marching behind me" (as the correct sentence structure would be "ardıma düşüp gelirsen"
