Estarabim-erkin koray

can someone help me with this sogn please?

Estarabim

Çok memleketler gezdim
i traveled all over many countries
Neler gördüm, görmedim
i saw and didn't see many things
Bu kocaman dünyada
in this tremendousworld
Senin gibi görmedim
i haven't seen someone like y ou

Estarabim, estarabim
......................
Sağdan, soldan estarabim
from right,from left .......

i don't know what estrabim is?

Öyle bir yar istemem
i don't want such beloved
İstesem de istemem
i wouldn't want even if i wanted
Güller bitti dilimde
roses waned in the area
Nasıl diyeyim bilmem
i don't know how to say so

Estarabim, estarabim
Sağdan, soldan estarabim

Ateş olmayan yerde
Duman tütmezmiş derler
they say the place that doesn't burn doesn't give off smoke
Zaman zaman halini
Bir görseler gülerler
if they look at your state from time to time they laugh

Böyle bir yar istemem
İstesem de istemem
Güller bitti dilimde
Nasıl diyeyim bilmem

thanks in advance

excellent!

either that or i saw may things but i pretended not to see them. i prefer this one.

nobody knows, even erkin koray himself (or he just keeps it for himself)

Güller bitti dilimde
roses waned in the area

this is a common misunderstanding, even among turkish speakers. here bitmek means to grow. there's an expression dilinde tüy bitmek, as in sana "yapma" diye diye dilimde tüy bitti. literally, feather grew on my tongue because of telling you "don't do it" again and again. it's used after being tired of repeating something over and over again. here the lyricist alters it as roses grew on my tongue, implying that he has repeated many times and used up words but he's not complaining about it much, as the next line suggests.

Güller bitti dilimde we have it too in arabic and it means i'll make herbs(instead of roses) grow in your tongue=i'll make you suffer or something like this it's kinda funny

you're welcome, larosa.

could you please post the original in arabic of the expression?

ok i will but which dialect ???cause it doesn't exist in standart arabic

here is the libanese=ra7 nabetlak esha3r 3a lsenak

ahh, well, i'm still not used to the romanization of arabic (as you folks use in the arabic lyrics translation section of the forum) and completely lost in any local vernacular of it. i think it's something like سأنبت الاعشاب على لسانك. thank you very much.

yeah it is how did you know it,and you're right many people love the arabic language but the can't read,so we have to transliterate
and even when i right an SMS i write in latin because it's cheeper
