tan_ya, here´s a translation attempt from me.
If you are to love, love like this
You must dry the pain among the pages of your heart.
There must be hope, there must be enthusiasm in your brown eyes.
You must be far from sorrow and grief.
You must find life, you must fill yourself with joy
You must say ´Look, this is what it means to live, this is what it means to breath´
As you think of my eyes, you must love me even more
And I must love you too, the way you love me.
When I am afraid I must be able to hug you tightly
When I am cold, when the coolness makes me shiver,
You must warm me up with your heart
When I behave like a child and cry, you must caress my hair,
You must be my solace, I must be your solace.
There must be mercy in your heart, scruples in your thoughts
You must open your heart to all beauties.
You must be the friend of those who fall, the tranquility of those who laugh
The hope of all those who cry.
You must fall down like the rain above .?...
You must flash like the lightning for those who wander in darkness
You must rise like the sun for the soul of the wretched
You must fall like the thunderbolt above the cruel ones
You must always be like this.
I must be proud that I love you
You must be able to laugh at misery
Every fishhook that you throw into the sea of life
Must catch smiles, you must catch hope,
Your hope must be like the new born baby,
The time that passes must make them grow
Sometimes a slight smile of yours must breathe life into me,
Other times, a great love flowing from your heart.
Our love must be boundless and endless
Even if we turn into ashes (lit. become earth), our love must wander from mouth to mouth.
You must share with me all that life has to offer.
I must know your pain, your happiness and your fears.
We must be able to cry without hiding our tears,
We must be able to share our joys and laugh,
You must tell me your fears without holding back
When you’re afraid I must be your haven that no one knows about.
We must overcome fears together.
You must tell me your dislikes, so must I.
You must be in my heart, even though you not be near me
I must feel your presence though you be in Fezzan
If I am enamoured, if I am burnt/consumed, if I am in love with you,
The price should not be death, that should give life to me
I must be the thing that you would never give up on
You too must be the thing that I would never give up on
I must be the only creature you don’t want to share
You must be the thing that I don’t share.
You must accept me with everything I have,
I must be able to say “this is me, this is how I am” without fear
You must be the arms where I find solace when I’m sad
The body I embrace when I am happy.
All my songs must be to you
You must be the reason for my sighing,
The inspiration to my poems,
The subject of all my conversations.
You must be able to make me live four seasons as a time.
You must bring spring with your love, in the middle of winter,
When you think of me, the sun must rise above the city
And must never set again.
You must be in every cell of my body.
You must wander in my veins,
I must wander in your veins instead of blood
You must feel me in your cells and I must feel you.
You must be my soul, you must give life to me
I must be your soul, I must give life to you.
There mustn´t be you and me in Turkish or in any other language.
We must be us, just us
We must be one heart, one body,
One soul.
I must live (myself) in you
You too must live (yourself) in me.
You must tell me stories about love
With your heart you must infuse my heart with romance
The word “separation” mustn’t come out among your words
Even when you are next to me, caressing my hair,
I must shout poems of longing from the sea of my heart.
All the mad waves must whisper to your ear
The sole purpose of your brown eyes must be my life
Your hair must become the wind and dry my tears
Though we be far apart, we mustn’t think of the months and of the distance ???
The concept of time mustn’t exist in us
Our love must grow, it mustn’t fit in our hearts
We must overflow like the rivers in spring
We must be an oasis in the desert
The steppes must become verdant with our love
Your eyes must be my light in darkness
Your words must make me fly towards the unknown
I must be your puzzles
You must fathom me out
I must be your counsel so that you may calm down
You must be mine, I must be able to say that you are mine.
I am yours, you must be able to say that I am yours.
All your feelings must focus on me
If you love, I must be the only one you love
You must be able to get angry at me, to shout and scream
You must be able to be grumpy at me, every now and then you must withdraw and leave.
You must be able to come back to me
You must be able to swallow your pride
You must tell me you love me, again and again
You must scream your hatred with all your force
You must make reproaches, you must be able to make reproaches to me
In order to overcome your anger you must be able to even slap (my face)
I must love you no matter how you were.
Even if you present me to your friends as your slave
I must be able to say with my head up high: “Yes, I am your slave”
Even if you torture me, I must be able to say that I love you
I must sit serenely and eat a slice of bread,
Drink a drop of water with you
And no one must even know that we are hungry
We must share what is yours and what is mine
??????
I must love, I must feel you.
I alone must be in your thoughts
I must embellish your heart with dreams of me
I alone must burn with the sparks of love in your heart
And you must burn with my fire
You must embrace me with your heart, you must warm me up with your eyes
I must sigh every time you touch my skin
You must be delighted as never before
And you must never have enough of me, I must never have enough of you either
I must know your betrayals, your deceits
You must tell me openly
You must be able to tell me “today I made love to a certain one”
But that moment, I must be in your dream
You must feel me in the scent of that body that you kiss
???
Your heart and the delight you enjoy must belong to me
When I am with you I must have no fear, not even of death
I must be as brave as you, I must be as manly as you
You must teach me the epic of your bravery
Then you mustn’t make reproaches about my ignorance
When you say “leave” I must leave without frowning
When you say “stay” I must burn even more intensely with your fire
I must be able to call you my man with the voice that comes from my heart
This is how you must love me, and so must I love you
Your spirit must be within me
My spirit within you
When you die I mustn’t live anymore either
See, my one and only, this is how you must love me and I must love you
I accept you
With all that is essentially yours,
If not, with all that is impossible in you (???)
If you accept me too,
I am ready…
I am ready for all the wars with you / With you, I am ready for all the wars
