Senden özür dilerim. Fazla ısrarcı davrandım. Lütfen beni affet. Çok pişmanım. Seni rahatsız etmek istememiştim. Son kez şansımı denemek için yazıyorum. İstemezsen sonsuza kadar kaybolurum ama ben sensiz yapamam. Beni bağışlar mısın?
I'm sorry. I was being very persistent. Please forgive me. I am extremely regretful. I did not mean to harass you. I am writing this to try my luck for the last time. If you want, I can get lost forever, but I can't live without you. Would you forgive me?

Ben sensiz yapamam --> I cannot make it without you (but this may sound ambiguous here)
Merhaba Mesud,
Bence çeviri büyük ölçüde doğru fakat buradaki "kaybolmak" birinin hayatından gitmek anlamında. Bu nedenle "get lost" dersek sanki o kişi yönünü, gittiği yolu kaybedecek gibi olacak. Bu yüzden bu fiilin değiştirilmesi gerektiğini düşünüyorum. "to disappear" fiilini kullanabiliriz. Ne dersin?
considering the text above, a few thoughts of mine:
-although it has the right word to word meaning, isn't it better to say 'I am asking for your forgiveness' (or 'I beg your forgiveness') here, than 'I beg your pardon'?
coz you know, 'I beg your pardon' is used more as a polite way of saying 'Sorry, I didn't get that/I didn't mean to say that/I do not agree.'
-I was being ...
- harass
- cannot (cannot=can not=can't)
- get lost
"I beg your pardon" simply means "sorry", Figen Hanım.
Here is the dictionary definition of 'I beg your pardon':
used to say sorry when you have made a mistake, or said something wrong or embarrassing (http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/beg)
please do not misunderstand me, Mesud, what I wrote is not way different from what you say.
I agree that 'I beg your pardon' is exactly the meaning, word by word. but, I've tried to bring your attention to the fact that this expression is not commonly used as a simple 'sorry' (at least, in my oppinion and observation).
