Title	without being unfair to rising sun...
Translation English Translated by kiminnesi	Target language: English From time to time, I had refugee desires, such as to drink in all of the light, without doing an injustice to the rising sun.
Remarks about the translation	Expert's comment: I changed a bit of the wording to make it sound more poetic, but I had a lot of trouble with the phrase translated by "refugee desires", which I thought at first was an idiom in Turkish, but which apparently is not.

	handyy Number of messages: 2118	Well, the original sentence is highly figurative. So, it can sound weird when translating into English. Still, this one, I think, needs edit. It can be translated in a better way, I guess. If I translated it, I would say: "I occasionally had such fugitive willings/wishes as saturating myself with all kinds of illumination, without being unfair to rising sun."

	handyy Number of messages: 2118	"aydÄ±nlÄ±k" in the original can mean lots of things such as "light, clarification, spiritual or intellectual enlightenment, etc.". I thought "illumination" can meet all of these meanings, but if there is a better word, it can be replaced, of course.

	handyy Number of messages: 2118	Tell me what you didn't understand exactly? Is it about the semantic or the syntax? This is a verbatim translation: "without being unfair/treating unjustly to rising sun".

	handyy Number of messages: 2118	Well, how about? : "Never being unfair to the rising sun, I occasionally had such fugitive willings/wishes as saturating myself with all kinds of illumination."

	kafetzou Number of messages: 7963	What are "mÃ¼lteci istekleri"? Is this an idiom in Turkish? I don't really understand it, and any English speaker reading "fugitive wishes" would be equally in the dark.

	kiminnesi Number of messages: 5	Actually it's not an idiom in Turkish as far as I know. I'd assume it's just a figurative phrase, part of a lyrical content. So I was in the dark as well... Open to suggestions, though.
