Title
QU'EST-CE D'AUTRE QUE DE L'AMOUR
Translation
French

Translated by Car0le
Target language: French

EST-CE DE L'AMOUR?
ETRE LOIN DE QUELQU'UN
NE PAS LE REMARQUER QUAND IL EST PRES DE VOUS
LE SENTIR QUAND IL EST AU LOIN

CE QUE JE N'AI PU GARDER QUAND JE L'AVAIS EN MA POSSESSION
JE N'AI PU L'OUBLIER QUAND JE L'AI PERDU

CE POUR QUOI JE POURRAIS MOURIR
C'EST MON AMOUR DESESPERE (désespéré)

In the first verse, there is no mention of the first person - this should be the infinitive:

IS THIS LOVE?
BEING FAR AWAY FROM A PERSON
NOT NOTICING WHEN THEY ARE NEAR
FEELING IT WHEN THEY ARE FAR

WHAT I COULD NOT HOLD WHEN IT WAS IN MY HAND
I COULD NOT FORGET WHEN I LOST IT

WHAT I COULD DIE FOR
THAT IS MY DESPERATE LOVE

D'accord Frankie je vais arranger ça en suivant les indications de kafetzou.
Thank you very much Laura for helping me with this! Do you think it's OK now:

EST-CE DE L'AMOUR?
ETRE LOIN DE QUELQU'UN
NE PAS S'APERCEVOIR QUAND IL EST PRES DE VOUS
LE SENTIR QUAND IL EST AU LOIN

CE QUE JE N'AI PU GARDER QUAND JE L'AVAIS EN MA POSSESSION
JE N'AI PU L'OUBLIER QUAND JE L'AI PERDU

CE POUR QUOI JE POURRAIS MOURIR
C'EST MON AMOUR DESESPERE (désespéré)

I'm not sure - should it be "s'apercevoir" or "l'apercevoir"? Otherwise it looks good to me.

Well, as far as I know "fark etmek" = "to notice, realize", and you did translate it "noticing", that is "not noticing" here. In French, we could say "remarquer" or "s'apercevoir". Now if I say "ne pas L'apercevoir", it would mean you can't even see them when they are near (apercevoir = see, perceive) which goes perhaps a bit too far. I mean, if you've got eyes, you can't help it but "see", "notice/s'apercevoir" is another matter altogether, you can be distracted, or take the other person for granted, i.e. "apercevoir, but not s'apercevoir", see, but not notice.
Anyway, I wish you a Happy New Year! :-) Carole
