My Try:

 

That love was like playing blind man´s buff. All of us were blind, we saw our midwife/wise woman.

 

It seems to me like the second sentence was a rhyme used in that game. The game´s name is körebe, kör ebe means ´blind midwife´. I guess ebe is the one whose eyes are tied.

But wait for natives to be sure.

 Actually that "rhyme" is not used in that game  At least I havent heard that.

But as "Abla" said, it is a game, and is played all over the world.

The person here tries to make an epigram by using rhymes. What he says is ;

And "ebe" is used as "nany" here. And the slang saying is " Ebesini görmek " = lit. to see someone´s nany. ---> that means " something very bad happens to that person "

Ebeni göreceksin ---> You will pay for this. [ you will get something bad, you will get your punishment....etc...]

so , in the light of this, we can translate the last sentence as follows ;

 ebemizi gördük ---> we paid for our mistakes [we paid for it]..Moral of the story is that Love is like that game [blind man´s buff], we all were blind. And [as a result of that] we paid the price of love. [in other words because the love blinded us we made mistakes and got hurt in the end.]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allah Allah,, arkadaş nereden bulurlar bu cümleleri... I couldnt help to laugh when I saw the word " Ebe ". as it was the word we had used alot when I was a child ..

Ama yine de bu kelimenin fazla açılımını yapmasak iyi olur..
