Araba-Mustafa Sandal

[Aya16]

hey..I missed the forum so much..lol..but I haven' listened to turkish lately,unfortunately,..but..I thought of askin' about translation for Sandal's song "Araba"
here's the lyrics:
GONUL ISTER ARADIGINI
HEP MI BEKLER, HEP MI BULAMAZ
GONUL ISTER TANIDIGINI
HIC MI BILMEZ, HIC MI SORAMAZ

BENI ALSA NAFILE NAFILE
YERIME BIR SEY KOYAMAZ
YALVARSAM DA KAL DIYE KAL DIYE
O YERINDE HIC DURAMAZ

ONUN ARABASI VAR GUZELMI, GUZEL
SOFORU DE VAR OZEL MI, OZEL
BASTI MI GAZA GIDER MI, GIDER
MAALESEF RUHU YOK
ONUN ICIN HIC MI HIC SANSI YOK

Thanks in Advance )

welcome back to the forum

The heart wants what it looks for / GONUL ISTER ARADIGINI
Does it always wait, can't it always find / HEP MI BEKLER, HEP MI BULAMAZ
The heart wants whom it knows / GONUL ISTER TANIDIGINI
Does it never know, can it never ask / HIC MI BILMEZ, HIC MI SORAMAZ

If she takes me, it is in vain, in vain / BENI ALSA NAFILE NAFILE
She can't have someone else instead of me / YERIME BIR SEY KOYAMAZ
Even if i beg for her to stay / YALVARSAM DA KAL DIYE KAL DIYE
She can never stop / O YERINDE HIC DURAMAZ

She has a car, pretty nice / ONUN ARABASI VAR GUZELMI, GUZEL
She has a driver, very exclusive / SOFORU DE VAR OZEL MI, OZEL
When she steps on the gas, it goes (fast) / BASTI MI GAZA GIDER MI, GIDER
Unfortunately she has no soul / MAALESEF RUHU YOK
That's why she has no luck / ONUN ICIN HIC MI HIC SANSI YOK

sorry i was not around for long time, so i am a little late to reply well i know a website, it is the language center of a very good university in Turkey. They offer online turkish classes, too. But you need to pay a small amount and register. here is the link:

http://www.tomer.ankara.edu.tr/english/index.html

click on the distance turkish which is on the left side of the page. you can check the details. actually one of my friend joined this course and was very content with it.

Free online courses can teach up to some level but i don't think they will be helpful enough if you want to improve your turkish on a high level.

rica ederim! i hope it helps

Thanks a lot for such a great help...I'll use it for sure, and I'm now on a course in the Turkish cultural center in Amman. the people here is so friendly and supportive

gule gule for now

id like to say that mustafa says

onun arabasi var. güzel mi? güzel
"she has a car. is it pretty? its pretty."

söförü de var. özel mi? özel
"she also has a driver. is he exclusive? hes exclusive."

and so on, that actually correct, i think

well it is your interpretation of the song and sure i respect it but most probably he is using this part to emphasize how pretty the car is or how exclusive the driver is. So there "güzel mi güzel" is not in a question form but an emphasis on the adjective.

güzel mi güzel (pretty nice)
akıllı mı akıllı (pretty smart)
çirkin mi çirkin (pretty ugly)

and so on

bye!
