翻訳 - 英語 -トルコ語 - something's gotten hold of my heart keeping my...

Hi, I couldn't understand this part "cutting it's way through my dreams like a knife". The intended meaning is something like "Something cut my dreams like a knife", but grammatically something is wrong, I guess. Could you please help me with it?

It should be "its" not "it's". Other than that, nothing is wrong with the English grammar.

This is a nice translation, but there are a few misunderstandings, I think.

1) "to get hold of" is not the same as to "steal" - it's more like "to hold onto", so maybe "tutaklamak" would be better.

2) The line about the dreams does not say it entered my dreams - it says it cut through my dreams.

3) "turning me up and turning me down" is more like "mixing me up" - it comes from the expression "upside down", I think.

Thanks for your explanations Laura.

1) "something's gotten hold of my heart"--> I think this part would be more accurate as "Birşey kalbimi ele geçirdi" rather than "Birşey kalbimi tutukladı."

2) "Rüyalarım sayesinde/yoluyla bir bıçak gibi/misali yolunu kesen". What do you think about it?

3) I thought "turning me up and turning me down" was translated accurately, but you know this language better than me; so if you say so, then it is OK.
Then, is this right: "Beni allak bullak/alt üst eden" ?

1) good

2) not so good - It cuts through my dreams like a knife - where did you get "sayesinde/yoluyla" and "yolunu"? I would say something more like this: Rüyalarımdan bıçak gibi geçiyor. But I'm not sure. How would you say "It cuts through a metal pipe like a knife through butter"? That's the meaning of "cutting through" here.

3) Yes - alt üst.

But it says "cutting its way through my dreams like a knife".

I am not sure about "Rüyalarımdan bıçak gibi geçiyor.". I guess it doesn't convey the correct meaning.

To cut ones way means to cut a path through an obstacle.

Then "Rüyalarımdan bıçak gibi geçen" is fine. Thank you so much for your help Laura.
