Hi 44hazal44

I'm not sure about the word "awake" in this context. I thought maybe the word "wide" might fit better here.

Also, "gazelle eyed" makes the reading a little difficult as it is only an adjective. Would it still work if we put:

"My eyes are wide for you gazelle-eyes"

Let me know

Hi Tantine,

"uyanık" means "awake", that's why I translated it in that way.

Perhaps we could say "my gazelle-eyed one", if it is not too weird.

I agree with your version but I think it would rather be a meaning only translation.
If you think we must put the version you gave above, then we should tick the "meaning only" square.

What do you think ?
