LeylaBirOzgeCandir

can anyone translate this to english




leyla bir ozge candir

karagozlu ceylandir

doyulmaz husnu andir

kanilmaz bir icim su

leyla leyla ah leyla



dillerde soylenen o

yollarda gozlenen o

yurekten ozlenen o

her gonulde o arzu

leyla leyla ah leyla



asiklar levend olsa

sevdalar kemend olsa

birbirine bend olsa

ele gecmez o ahu

leyla leyla ah leyla



teshekur ederim

well, this is tough, if not challenging. i'm not sure i'll be able to convey most of the meaning. anyway, i'll give myself a chance:

leyla is an unmatched one (lit., a different soul)
a black-eyed gazelle
an insatiable moment of beauty
a sip of water that cannot slake one's thirst
leyla leyla ah leyla

she's the one whose name is spoken on the tongues
she's the one who is awaited on the roads
she's the one who is longed for from the heart
she's the desire in every heart
leyla leyla ah leyla

even if the lovers were amazingly handsome
even if loves were lassos
even if they all tried together
that gazelle still can't be captured
leyla leyla ah leyla

amazing translation
for an amazing song....
