Adam mı bulduk
Text
Submitted by hamza778
Source language: Turkish

Dostlarım başım gözüm üstüne
Ağlamıyorum ne geçmişe ne düne
Bana yar sormayın olmadı
O istemediÄŸimin bile
Yeri daha dolmadı

Adam mı bulduk da sevmedik
Canımızı verdik herkese
Gönlümüzümü verseydik
Kadir kıymet bilmeze

Title
Nobody, No love..
Translation
English

Translated by ekızılok
Target language: English

I am at my friends' complete disposal
I cry neither over the past nor over yesterday
Do not wonder my darling, she is not mine
Even the one I didn't want
Noone has been able to fill his shoes yet

Did I find a man and not love him
I gave my life for every one
If only I would donate my heart
To someone who is not worthy?
Remarks about the translation
I would have given my life for every one -> meaning for all those whom I have ever loved

Hi ekızılok

Nice translation

A few minor things:

- I could ever give my life to anyone -> what do you mean here? It sounds a bit strange in English; maybe we can improve it, if the poem allows us to.

- Could we change the last sentence to

'to someone who is not worthy'

or maybe

'to someone who is not worth it'?

Hi Lein

-I could ever give my life to anyone -> The poet couldn't find a woman who is worth to love. But he tried in his past, and did everything. He tells that he was even willing to give his heart or spirit because of his love..
I see this sentence is wrong. It can be -) I shared my soul with everyone (every woman in his all life)

-The last sentence -> *to someone who is not worthy* sounds better

- I never ignore my friends any day -> I am at my friends' complete disposal.

- I never think the past or yesterday -> I cry neither the past nor yesterday.

- The other one,which I didn't love -> Even the one I didn't want

- I can not even get her to be mine -> His shoes didn't fill yet. (No one loved me except his)

- I could ever give my life to anyone -> I gave my life for everyone

- Was I supposed to donate my heart? -> If only I would donate my heart

I'm not sure whether "His shoes didn't fill yet" is correct or not.

"No one filled his shoes yet" is more suitable in English, I think.

It is hard to find somebody to love -> Did I find a man and not love him
