Your touch to my sad old heart

 

Thank you for your reply, I acually meant YASLI not YAŞLI, it has the same meaning as GAMLI " SORROWFUL. But "DEGMEN" does it mean YOUR TOUCH or FOR TOUCHING MY SAD SORROWFUL HEART, Can you explain it a little more?

 

Thank you very much

Değmen = DO NOT touch

 

In standard Turkish (Istanbul) it is written as değmeyin (2nd pl person imperative form)

 

"Değmen" form m is used in rural areas.

I cannot see "senin" in it

 

When there is benim, usually there should be possessive suffix for first person (i.e -m)

 

Değmen benim gamlı yaslı gönlüme

 

Do not touch to my sorrowful and in mourning heart

 

Yas = mourning

 -men, in some accents, is short form of -meyin.

gitmen (gitmeyin), kalman (kalmayın)

 

değmen benim ... - don´t touch my ...

 

But if you place possessive adjective before the word, the meaning changes:

 

senin değmen - your touch

 

değ(mek) => touch (verb)

değ-me => touch(ing) (noun)

 

benim değmem

senin değmen

onun değmesi

bizim değmemiz

sizin değmeniz

onların değmesi/değmeleri
