    I will be forever greatful to anybody who speaks good Turkish to translate this song for me . ESMER by Erkan Guleryuz, Lyrics by the one and only genious of Turkish Music Sezen Aksu. Even though i don't get the lyrics since my Turkish is still basic,this song says everything about how sad i've been this past year 2012 for not being able to go back to Turkey.

    I will be forever greatful to anybody who speaks good Turkish to translate in English this song for me. ESMER sung by Erkan Guleryuz, lyrics by the one and only genious of Turkish music Sezen Akzu. Even though I don't get the lyrics right from this song since my Turkish is still basic, It reflects how sad i've been this past year 2012 for not being able to go back to Turkey again.

    Here are the lyrics ..

    Hangi Ara Düşürmüşüm Eyvah!
    Bir Baktım Delikanım Yerde…
    Ardından Bakıp çekerken Ah…!
    Bir yılan zehrindeymiş deva derde.
    Akşam indi Gözlerime…
    Dağ Rüzgarları gibi Esmer…
    Kekik kokulu siyah perçemine
    sürdüm yüzümü gülümsedi keder

    Yaralı Ceylanım, Kırılgan Dalım…
    Boyun eymezim yabanımi isyankarım…
    Nefesin Kesik Kesik, nefesimde…
    Bir Kızıl Gonca ıslak dudakların
    Kayısı tadı fışkıran teninde
    Tutuşur elim sedef teninde
    Uyandım koynunda ilk gençliğime
    ele geçmezim, kekliğim, kısrağım.
    Syria ♥
    لّا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
    Suriyeli damarımda Türk kanı akıyor.

    Brunette

    Hangi Ara Düşürmüşüm Eyvah!
    Oh, when did I drop it?
    Bir Baktım Delikanım Yerde…
    To my surprise (when I saw it), my red blood* was on the ground
    Ardından Bakıp çekerken Ah…!
    While I was left behind (you) and stared at, sighing
    Bir yılan zehrindeymiş deva derde.
    It turns out that my remedy was the venom of a snake
    Akşam indi Gözlerime…
    Evening falled upon my eyes.
    Dağ Rüzgarları gibi Esmer…
    To your mountain wind-like, dark (brunette) and
    Kekik kokulu siyah perçemine
    Black forelock smelling like thyme
    sürdüm yüzümü gülümsedi keder
    Smeared I my face, then the grief smiled

    Yaralı Ceylanım, Kırılgan Dalım…
    My wounded gazelle, fragile branch
    Boyun eymezim yabanımi isyankarım…
    My indomitable, my untamed, my rebel
    Nefesin Kesik Kesik, nefesimde…
    Your intermittent breath is on my breath
    Bir Kızıl Gonca ıslak dudakların
    Scarlet rosebuds are your lips
    Kayısı tadı fışkıran teninde
    On your skin which is protruding apricot flavour.
    Tutuşur ellerim sedef teninde
    My hands bursted into flames on your nacre (pearl) skin
    Uyandım koynunda ilk gençliğime
    I woke up to my adolescense on your bossom
    ele geçmezim, kekliğim, kısrağım.
    My uncapturable, my partridge, my mare

    * I used "red blood" for "deli kan" here. "Deli kanım" literally means "my crazy blood". However, there is also a Turkish word such as "delikanlı" which means a red-blooded, young man who is brave and physically strong, and the man singing the song tries to tell that he is red-blooded (however, with no reference to sexual intercourse! he just says that he is a young, brave and strong man). Thus, I tried to use the most appropriate word for it.

    Hope I made myself clear enough! Enjoy the song
