Sensizliğe yanıyorum. (hehr goon yah-nih-yoh-room. sehn-sihz-lih-eh yah-nih-yoh-room.) (MP3 Format) Every day at sunset I feel great sadness. I feel great sadness without you. Sensiz tadı yok... ne nağmelerin ne de deniz kıyısında gezintinin. (sehn-sihz tah-dih yohk... neh nah-meh-leh-reen neh deh deh-neez kih-yih-sihn-da geh-zeen-tee-neen) (MP3 Format) There is no pleasure without you... no listening to (romantic) music, no walking by the sea. Asla bir daha sevmeyeceğim deme... mahcup olursun. (ahs-lah beer dah-ha sehv-meh-yeh-jeh-eem deh-meh... mah-choop oh-lur-soon.) Ed. Note: Listen carefully to the pronunciation of mahcup above, which is slightly different than what you'd expect -- the C-letter in Turkish is usually pronounced 'jeh' not 'cheh'. Normally, the 'cheh' sound is reserved for the Ç-letter (with cedilla) in Turkish. (MP3 Format) Don't say you'll never love again... You'll be embarrassed. Asla değiştiremiyeceğin şeyler için üzülme. (ahs-lah deh-eesh-tih-reh-mee-yeh-jeh-een shey-lehr ee-chin ooo-zool-meh.) (MP3 Format) Never feel sorry about things you can't change. Bilmez misin? Sen yoksan ben de yokum. (beel-mehz mee-seen? sehn yohk-sahn behn deh yoh-koom.) (MP3 Format) Figurative: Don't you get it? Without you, I'm nothing. Literal: Don't you know? If you are non-existent, I'm also non-existent. Gökkuşağı niye bu kadar renksiz... sensiz? (gherk-koo-sha-ih nee-yeh boo kah-dahr rehnk-seez sehn-seez?) (MP3 Format) Why is the rainbow so colorless... without you? Ben bir mendilin ucunda. Bir damla gözyaşında sen, ikindi yağmurları gibi... (behn beer mehn-dee-leen oo-joon-dah. Beer dahm-lah gerz-yah-shihn-dah sehn, ee-keen-dee yah-moor-lah-rih gee-bee...) (MP3 Format) I'm the tip of a handkerchief. You're like a teardrop that falls in an afternoon rain... Bekle... geleceğim yanına. (behk-leh... geh-leh-jeh-eem yah-nih-na.) (MP3 Format) Wait...I'm coming to you (soon). Ed. Note: Depending on the circumstances, this phrase might have a sexual connotation. Bir gün daha geçti... Sanki yanımda, yakınımda gözlerime bakar gibisin. (beer goon da-hah getch-tee... sahn-kee yah-nihm-dah, yah-kih-nihm-dah gerrz-leh-ree-meh bah-kar gee-bee-seen.) (MP3 Format) Another day has passed... It's as if you were next to me, close to me -- gazing into my eyes. Lyrics from Elbette (For Certain) by Candan Erçetin Bugün ağlıyorsam yarın güleceğim, önce çekip gidip sonra döneceğim. (boo-goon ah-lih-yohr-sahm yah-rihn goo-leh-jeh-eem, ern-jeh chek-ihp ghee-deep sohn-rah der-neh-jeh-eem.) (MP3 Format) Figurative: I may cry today, but I'll laugh tomorrow. I may have to leave right now, but I'll be back again. Literal: If I cry today, I'll laugh tomorrow. At first I may shove off, [but] I'll return later.
