The last part should be "if you are not with me at my last breath", but I'm not sure about the first part - what does "Neyleyim ben ölümü" really mean? Türkçede açıklayabilirsin istersen. | | | 31 December 2011 20:36 | | | Neyleyim ben ölümü son nefesimde sen olmadıktan sonra. --> As long as you are not beside me, the taste of death won't be good (Neyleyim --> ne yapayım) | | | 1 January 2012 20:02 | | | I still don't understand the first part. Is death supposed to taste good?
Ne yapayım ölümü = What should I make of death?
Can you make the meaning of that part a little clearer? | | | 1 January 2012 22:05 | | | No. As long as the person's darling is with him/her, even death will be something good. That's the meaning of the sentence.
As to "ne yapayım 'bir şeyi'", this phrase means 'it's not good for me/it doesn't work' (it's a rhetorical question). I think the best translation of it should be "what's the good of...". What do you think? | | | 2 January 2012 19:56 | | | This is better, but I think we should change "as long as" to "if". Does that still work with the meaning in Turkish?
Also, I think maybe it should be "at my last breath". | | | 2 January 2012 20:32 | | | - Yes.
- I'm weak at prepositions. What is the difference? | | | 2 January 2012 21:15 | | | I'm not sure anymore - I decided to accept it as is. |
