someone please help me in correctly translating this song by Nazan Oncel..and correct me please..thanks

Ýçim boþ odalar boþ
I ate nothing the rooms were empty
Boþlukta yüzüyorum
I swam in emptiness
Boðuþuyorum kendimle
I fought with myself
Bir batýp bir çýkýyorum
One (batip) one I flee/escape
Beni baþka biri keser mi kesmez

Bu da bir gün geçer mi geçmez

Yabancý yataklarda
A strangers/strange :-S bed
Uyumaya mý alýþayým
Won't i sleep, i'm used to it.
Elimden geldiði kadar
In my hands much came
Yaþamaya mý calýþayým
Is working for me to live?
Beni yedin bitirdin
You ate me, you finished
Kýrdýn geçirdin

Böyle bitirdin
So you finished
Çok çok çok kötü geçirdin
You passed so very badly(in a bad way)
Burnumdan getirdin
Yedin bitirdin

Þu sýralar çok yalnýzým
In these arrangements im so alone
Kendimle konuþuyorum
I'm speaking to myself
Hüzünlü kitaplarý
Sad books
Okuyup hüzünleniyorum
Inviting/Reading I became sad
Sibirya'dan beter bir yatak
In Siberia a worse bed
Yattýn mý baþlýyor panik atak
Did u sleep starting with a suspect recklessly
Aðlýyorum sanýyorsun sadece
I cried u only supposed
Ne uyku var ne dur durak
What sleep what breaks stopped?
Sen kendine müslüman
You are Muslim yourself
Bu aþk deðil bu tekme tokat
This isn't love this is a kick a slap
Beni yedin bitirdin
You ate me you finished
Kýrdýn geçirdin
You broke you passed
Böyle bitirdin
So you finished
Çok kötü geçirdin
You passed very badly
Burnumdan getirdin
You brought/came in in my nose
Yedin bitirdin
You ate you finished
Her gece her gece ölünmüyor iki kere
Every night every night to return twice/two times

my attempt for the fist part:

İçim boş odalar boş
My insides are empty, the rooms are empty

Boşlukta yüzüyorum
I'm swimming in the emptiness

Boğuşuyorum kendimle
I'm fighting with myself

Bir batıp bir çıkıyorum
Once sinking once emerging

Beni başka biri keser mi kesmez
Does someone else cut me (or: wound me)

Bu da bir gün geçer mi geçmez
And this is a day that doesn't pass

Yabancı yataklarda
In foreign beds

Uyumaya mı alışayım
Should I get used to sleep

Elimden geldiği kadar
As much as I can

Yaşamaya mı calışayım
Should I try to live

Beni yedin bitirdin
You've consumed me, you've finished me

Kırdın geçirdin
You broke and moved on

ok, before that sago informed me that:
Beni başka biri keser mi kesmez
means something like:
can anyone take your place?

next part:

Böyle bitirdin
You finished like that

Çok çok çok kötü geçirdin
You passed in a very very bad way

Burnumdan getirdin
You made me regret it

Yedin bitirdin
You consumed and finished

Şu sıralar çok yalnızım
I'm so alone at this moment

Kendimle konuşuyorum
I'm speaking to myself

Hüzünlü kitapları
The sad books

Okuyup hüzünleniyorum
I'm reading and become sad

Sibirya'dan beter bir yatak
In a worse bed then Siberia

Yattın mı başlıyor panik atak
As soon as you lie down a panic attack starts

Ağlıyorum sanıyorsun sadece
You think that I'm only crying

Ne uyku var ne dur durak
There's neither sleep nor a break
(not sure about this one)

You broke and passed

Böyle bitirdin
You finished like that

I guess:
You are the person who behaves good only for herself.
or
who helps only herself
who is helpful only herself

I might make a couple small changes:

Böyle bitirdin
You finished it like that

Çok çok çok kötü geçirdin
You passed it (put an end to it) in a very very bad way

Burnumdan getirdin
You made me regret it

Yedin bitirdin
You ate me up and finished me off

Şu sıralar çok yalnızım
I'm so alone at this moment

Kendimle konuşuyorum
I'm talking to myself

Hüzünlü kitapları
The sad books

Okuyup hüzünleniyorum
I'm reading and become sad

I'm reading sad books and getting depressed
(sometimes the sentence goes over two lines)

Sibirya'dan beter bir yatak
In a worse bed then Siberia

Yattın mı başlıyor panik atak
As soon as you lie down a panic attack starts

Ağlıyorum sanıyorsun sadece
You think that I'm only crying

Ne uyku var ne dur durak
I can't sleep, and it just doesn't let up
(not an exact translation but that's the idea

Böyle bitirdin
You finished it off just like that

Çok kötü geçirdin
You sent me on (or finished it off) in a very bad way

Burnumdan getirdin
You made me regret it

Yedin bitirdin
You ate me up and finished me off

Her gece her gece ölünmüyor iki kere
