Piiz-Kardem

I'm not even sure what "kardem" means. Something about snow?

Yüzüm andım olsun değerse yüzüne,
Sen ölüm ol ben kardelen,
Yüzüm andım olsun değerse yüzüne,
Sen ölüm ol ben kardelen gitmesin gücüne,

Kar yağsın inadına sen varsın,
Ve hiçbir kardem o çiçek ağlamasın,
Yine yağmur tuttu gereksiz sonbahar,
Ben koştum ama sen yoruldun e olacak o kadar,

Yine ahı tuttu gebersin akşamlar,
Ben sustum ama sen konuştun e olsun o kadar.

I feel much better about not being able to figure out what it meant now.

I had forgotten this word- gebermek...I think the only time I had heard it before is TNK's Elveda De (which I still hope one day you will love )... I want to remember this word.

Somehow these lines are really beautiful to me. "e olsun o kadar"...nice.

谢谢 ---wow that looks like really complicated orthography!

Hmmm, gerçekten mi??!?! ("Aslında" demek istiyorum, ama belki "olmuyor" ) <--------- Okay, okay, I'll say it for you "Cuuuuuuute Turkish" (I actually tried to make it as "cute" as possible.)

You were able to, you just refused.
And I hope so...it's not my fault they have lyrics that I think are perfect for you.

I say again: Really?!?! I think it's really perfect....one of those translations where I wonder if your translation is better than the original lines. I can understand how literally it would be hard to translate that, but I really like the simplicity of "but that's ok"

This time it was Chinese and means "sheh sheh" but the meaning is the same. So your reply was perfect in orthography and in meaning.

I think I get it...that line made me curious "Kar yağsın inadına sen varsın"

I'm guessing 'inadına' comes from 'inat' (?) (we use that word in Bosnia too; I'm not sure if you knew that...meaning like stubbornly spiteful, sort of) When I was trying to understand it before I thought it meant something like "you're there out of spite" or "just to spite"...

Complicated lyrics are

I think there are better things than complicated lyrics; like (Sorry for being obsessed with this but I really started to think forum needs more smileys. )

I agree about the smileys...just not that one, please.
Maybe if it had his voice...
