Translation - Turkish-English - hep seni bekledim bir türlü gelmeyen

couldn't it be "you" instead of "they"

devamı olarak da düşünsen orada they yok yoksa ben mi göremiyorum.

gelmeyen kiÅŸi hayali bir sevgili ya da beklediÄŸi belli bir kiÅŸi

hep seni bekledim bir türlü gelmeyen = hep seni bekledim "SEN" bir türlü gelmedin


where is "they" here??

Merhaba Kafetzou,
"İlkyaz" "bahar" anlamına gelir.

Her zaman öyle mi buketnur? "İlk yaz" anlamına gelemez mi?

Lilian, Tantine, or Ian, can you do an evaluation of this one?

Hi Kafetzou,

If all those comments were in English evaluating would be a bit easier...

Good point.

Serba was worried about my translation of the title, which I had taken to be connected to the rest, but he pointed out that it might not be. I didn't change anything there.

Buketnur pointed out that "ilkyaz", which literally means "first summer", actually means "spring". I asked if it could mean "first summer" metaphorically, as in "first time someone experienced love", but she said it couldn't, so I changed it.

Actually, I just noticed serba's last note, and I'm going to change the title accordingly - there was a form I had misunderstood there.

i interpreted the first line like serba too
last line something like: from what the springs could take of your free beauty

Apparently "alabildiÄŸine" is an adverb that means "totally" - I didn't know it either.

ha ok, thanks kafetzou

to be "delikanlı" is not only for men . "youngster" can be better instate of "young men's hearts".
and
"ilk yazlar" means here "the first love"

the meaning is not O.K

by the way using "first summer" instead of "spring" for the word "ilk yaz" would be more poetic.

bence ilk yaz first summer olarak kalmalı.

ilk yaz=ilkbahar=first summer= spring

ancak ilk yaz ve first summer kelimeleri şiir için daha uygun bence..

OK - I changed "Springs" back to "first summers", and changed my translation of "delikanli" to "hot-blooded youths".

Everyone happy now?

May I validate it?

merdogan and serba, is it OK now?
