Oh this one's funny, rollingmaster! You actually made the meaning the opposite of the original. 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.

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)

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?

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?

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".

- Yes.

- I'm weak at prepositions. What is the difference?

I'm not sure anymore - I decided to accept it as is.
