It is nice to see how two translations can differ. I enjoy French Well, you continue with your translation - but if you get stuck feel free to ask me. Or, afterwards, I can check it for you if you like. I hope one day my Turkish will reach the level of my French!

Quoting Deli_kizin:

Yes... well i think they are all pretty easy, buttt... i dont get this one:

coups de pourquoi.. i cannot translate it and i cant find my dictionary. I know there are many sayings with coup, such as.. coup de foudre (love at first sight).. so i wouldn't know how to translate it.. What does its turkish translation mean?

I would translate it, in this context as the reasons why... sorry I couldn't resist translating the first verse!! But I'll leave you to do the rest as I don't want to step on any one's toes! But I enjoyed translating this from French to English

Ne me quitte pas
Don't leave me

Il faut oublier
It is neccesary to forget

Tout peut s'oublier
Everything you need to forget

Qui s'enfuit dÃ©jÃ
Which is already over

Oublier le temps
Forget the times

Des malentendus
Of the misunderstandings

Et le temps perdu
And the lost time

A savoir comment
To know how...

Oublier ces heures
Forget the hours

Qui tuaient parfois
Which sometimes kill

A coups de pourquoi
The reasons why

Le cÅ“ur du bonheur
The heart full of joy

Quoting marusa1:

Heloo everybody!I am just starting to learn turkish and i found out doing it only with grammar book is kinda doll. I need somkine of easy literature such as fairytales for small kids, stories, ... something easy to read for somebody who knoes turkis very less.
Can somebody advise me some links?

Thank you!

Marusa

We had this conversation on another thread recently - so I can recommend one link to you.

http://www.cocukca.com/index_fla.html

According to a French website I was on, this site is in the top 5 Turkish children's websites. There's lots of kids things on it, like games and e-cards. But if you click on "masallar ve Ã¶ykÃ¼ler" - it will take you to the stories and fairy tales.

I hope this makes your Turkish learning more enjoyable!

Quoting fatma:

Toprak yağmuru bekler ısınmak iÃ§in,
Yıldızlar geceyi bekler, parlamak iÃ§in,
GÃ¼neş sabahı bekler, doğmak iÃ§in,

Seni uzakdan sevmeyi,
Sana bakmadan gÃ¶rmeyi,
Seni duymadan dinlemeyi,
GÃ¶z yaşlrımla gÃ¼lmeyi,

Ve kavuşmak iÃ§in sabretmeyi,
Herşeyi Ã¶ğrendim ama
Seni unutmayı asla
Seni benim kadar seven bulamassın
Asla
TEŞEKKÃœRLER

Here you go - where I have used poetic freedom it is to give it more sense in English - however, it is generally literal.

Toprak yağmuru bekler ısınmak iÃ§in,
Yıldızlar geceyi bekler, parlamak iÃ§in,
GÃ¼neş sabahı bekler, doğmak iÃ§in,

The earth waits for the rain, to warm up,
The stars wait for the night to shine,
The sun waits for the morning to rise,

Loving you from faraway
Seeing you without looking
Listening without hearing you
Laughing with my tears

And for being patient - to be reunited
I learnt everything, yet
Never forgetting you
You canâ€™t find as much love as mine for you
Never

Hope this helps you

Did you write this poem Ozi? I like it. The title wine made me think of a poem by DH Lawrence which I love. Here it is:

Mystery

Now I am all
One bowl of kisses,
Such as the tall
Slim votaresses
Of Egypt filled
For a Godâ€™s excesses.

I lift to you
My bowl of kisses,
And through the templeâ€™s
Blue recesses
Cry out to you
In wild caresses.

And to my lipsâ€™
Bright crimson rim
The passion slips,
And down my slim
White body drips
The shining hymn.

And still before
The altar I
Exult the bowl
Brimful, and cry
To you to stoop
And drink, Most High.

Oh drink me up
That I may be
Within your cup
Like a mystery,
Like wine that is still
In ecstasy.

Glimmering still
In ecstasy,
Commingled wines
Of you and me
In one fulfil
The mystery.

Quoting miss_ceyda:

Quoting goner:

U2's with or without u song is also a good one,maybe an oldie in some way...

yeah i kept coming accross that when i was downloading this one... is it a good song? hows the beat?

Iâ€™m sure you will recognise this song once you hear it Ceyda. It was massive in its day, and living in England you will have heard it since. Itâ€™s often used in soundtracks. Another U2 song I really like is Stuck in a moment (which has a completely different tone to all of the songs Iâ€™m about to list!)

Here are the songs which I find really sad! There are many, many more but I realized Iâ€™d got to 11, so thought I ought to stop!

1) Aqualung: Strange and Beautiful
2) Bush: Glycerine
3) Goo Goo dolls: Iris
4) The Streets: Dry your eyes
5) Bush: Swallowed
6) Bush: Letting the Cables sleep
7) Blink 182: I miss you
8) Dolly Parton: I will always love you
9) Radiohead: Creep
1

REM: Everybody hurts
11) Jeff Buckley: Hallelujah
