Merhabalar! I usually don´t ask you to translate something for me, but I am having a lot of trouble with these lyrics from a song by Sıla and the Colombian group Ciclo. The song alternates between Turkish and Spanish, and these are the Turkish lyrics. I have made some attempts here, but I can tell I am nowhere close on some of the lines. And I simply don´t understand "içimişim." You will have to help me!

P.S. -- The video for this song is very nice. She and the Colombian singer text back and forth. I was very happy to be able to understand the texts!  

öyle çok içmişim ki

I had drunk so much that ...

or

I drunk so much!

içmişim comes from içmek - to drink. Literally it is I appear to have drunk, I seem to have drunk, or I am told I have drunk

I like the video (of course). Almost hard to recognize Sila between now and that video. I wonder how this song this was received in Turkey?

I think it was a neat collaboration, like lets do something different or just for fun. But in retrospect it was like a once only thing for Sila.

I like this version of Beş Çayı from Ziynet, it´s half-Turkish half-Greek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wOU3BZYHVk 

Small thing, it was posted as içimişim rather than içmişim.

Thank you, all! And thank you especially to gokuyum for correcting the Turkish lyrics themselves. As usual, I have questions:

1) icmişim vs. icimişim -- Which is the correct rendering? When I first worked on the song, I read the word as "icmişim" and I was on the right track in thinking the line meant "it seems I drank so much." But then I saw that extra "i" and I was completely confused. Is it just a typo? ... And what is "o gazla"?

2) Gokuyum, can you explain "bir parmak balçalar"? I know it is an expression, but what is "balça"? "Honeyish"? "Like honey?" I couldn´t find anything like this in my dictionaries, even the excellent online one you directed me to.

And one last comment: I hate to say it, but I think the Colombian singer outshines Sıla in this one. She is very good, and they are singing in his genre, but he is so expressive. And it´s very nice the way he uses his voice to imitate the brass when he sings "tiempo" and "cuerpo." I wonder why Sıla didn´t choose to sing in a style more similar to his.

Tekrar teşekkürler!

´miş´ is a tricky one since it is used as ´had´ and it is also used as apparently/supposedly (and mişmiş is like apparently/supposedly had).

içmişim - I supposedly/apparently drank

içmiştim - I had drunk

içimişim - I looked up this and could not find it anywhere

So I´m not sure why the supposedly/apparently or seemed to have, got dropped in the translation. My guess is that "it seems I drank too much" is fine.

I guess Sila is a little low key in the song compared to the Colombian singer. You´re right, it would have been interesting if she had sung like him. But I think she did well to fit into the song and sang with a good rhythm. It sounded natural to me yet a little unique. In my opinion, Christina Aguilera is an example of something that doesn´t work when you try to be someone else.

I wonder if there are any other Turkish/Spanish collaborations? Or Turkish with other languages.
