Translated by buketnur
Target language: English

Either your eyes are on my mind or my mind is in your name, either your image is in front of me or your voice is in my ears. Either I am going insane or I long very much, either longing is very beautiful or the one who is longed for is very special.
Remarks about the translation
longing is "to miss" in original text.

This is better, but it's not ready yet. You need to use "either ... or" every time you have "ya ... ya" in Turkish.

Also, "in my mind" --> "on my mind", and that part needs a verb.

Much better, but you still have no verb in the first part: "Either your eyes are on my mind ..."

I'm sorry, buketnur - now that all of the little errors have been fixed, I see that we need to make a change to the last part. In Turkish, three forms of the same verb are used: özluyorum, özlemek, and özlenen, but in English you used "longing" for one of them, thus losing the sense of this section. Here is my suggestion:

ya ben cildiriyorum yada çok özluyorum ya özlemek çok güzel yada özlenen çok özel --> Either I'm going crazy, or I'm longing too much; either the longing is very beautiful or the object of the longing is very special

What do you think?

Kafetzou burda türkçe konuşabilir miyim? Türkçe' de şimdiki zamanda söylenen bir çok şey İngilizce' de geniş zamanda söyleniyor. Mesela, "seni seviyorum" şimdiki zamanda, İngilizce'de " I love you" geniş zamanda. Bu nedenle " I miss too much" daha doğru görünüyor ve "the missed one" daha iyi değil mi?

But you can't use "miss" without an object in English.

I guess it's OK, although these don't seem like logical "either ... or" type choices in English, but I guess maybe they don't in Turkish either.

Yes you are right, Kafetzou.
It is strange in Turkish too.
