"Dinlemazsen duamazsin
....If you never listen you pray not"


"duyamazsin" is not dua-mazsin ,and also such a word is not possible. correct translation will be : "if you never listen, you can not hear "


"Herkesin ru’yasina girmeye deg’erda
From Everyones dreams to enter the price"


I recomend everyone to avoid "direct" translation, just think about the sentence you read and let your mind generate its own translation.


deger = price, worth


but in the sentence , you dont enter to any "price"


correct translation


"I am valued (wanted)to enter everyones dreams"



"Girdig’im her yeri
My going everywhere"

must be -Everywhere i go -




"Yikmazsan kuramazsin
If you never demolish you won’t build anything"

here "anything" is unnecesary


"Varmazsan olamazsin
If you never exist you won’t become (No real English equivalent) "

-Actually it has an english equivalent.varmak = arrive
but sometimes it is used as "to marry"


"Dokulmazsan anlatamazsin
If one never weaves You never understand"

Dokulmazsan must be "dokunmazsan" , and "dokunmak" = to touch


"Konusamezsan susamazsin
If you never talk you never thirst"

A well known mistake. Confusing two words :
-Susamak (to thirst)
-Susmak (to be quite, to remain silent )



"Uc’mazsan alc’alamazsin
If you never drink you won’t get low"

"Ucmaszan" means "if you never fly"
its not "Icmezsen" , Icmek=to drink , Ucmak = to fly

"Bildig’I her s’eyi sadece bekleyen
Knowing Everything simply waiting "

Bildigi her seyi sadece bekleyen :
-who simply waits for everything he knows

H_BEN Söz: Artun Ertürk ve Pamela

I added my changes in capitals:

Dinlemazsen duamazsin
If you never listen you pray not
Bakmazsan go’remazsin
If you never’ look you never see - YOU CANNOT SEE
Yaratmazsan sevemazsin
If you never create you never love - YOU CANNOT LOVE
Yas’amazsan olemazsin
If you never live you never become - YOU CANNOT DIE

NOTE: The Turkish is a bit "bozuk" e.g. it should be göremezsinölemezsiz and sevemezsin. If the first line should be duayamazsın then it too should be you cannot pray. It would also be more poetic (but less of a word for word translation) in English to change each line to If you haven't .... you cannot ....
e.g. If you haven't created anything you cannot love
or You cannot ... unless you have first ...
e.g. You cannot love unless you have first created something
or You cannot ... without ...
You cannot love without creating
