Aşk bize sıla
Yarana tuz aÅŸktan kalan
Giden sürgün kalan kaçak
Seni yaralar kendim kanarım
Yanyana bile senden ayrıyım.

Title
Love is the place
Translation
English

Translated by kfeto
Target language: English

Love is the place we long to return to.
Salt for your wounds is what remains of it.
The ones that left are exiles, the ones that stayed, outlaws.
I hurt you but bleed myself.
I'm far from you even when I'm next to you.

Maybe "I hurt you but bleed myself." would sound better:
"I hurt you, but I am the one who bleeds"


Could "separated" be changed by "far"?

hi lilian

well i thought "bleed myself" was actually quite good since it expresses itself in just two words as opposed to an elaborate six.

the source says separated but far would also work, perhaps better because of the juxtaposition with next, maybe use 'close' instead of 'next'?
