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.

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."

"aydınlık" 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.

I don't get that: "without being unfair to rising sun"

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".

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."

What are "mülteci 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.

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.
