Hi, here´s my try. I think that few words were misspelled here, here are my corrections:

 

ben zaten biliyordum senin nasýl bir mal olduðunu .; þimdi ben kendimle gurur duyorum iyi ve kotu ve iyi anlarim

 

and here´s my translation attempt - I´m still a learner, so probably we should wait for someone else´s translation or comments:


I already knew what kind of cost you had to bear. Now I´m proud of myself, I understand all ups and downs.

 

I had also another idea about first sentence. "nesil" means "generation", so probably first sentence could mean something like:

 

I already knew how much it cost your generation.

 

Maybe someone can help us here ?

 "mal" here is a turkish slang but it doesnt have an exact meaning in English, so we can say "jackass, asshole" instead so:

""i have already known what kind of a jackass you are, i am proud of myself now...good or bad, i understand well.

kurt, thanks for explanation! By the way, can I ask you how could I say "I have already known what kind of cost you had to bear?" in turkish? Can I use "mal olmak" there (my dictionary says it means "cost" so that´s why I keep with it ) or rather another form should be used to hmm "sound more natural" ?
