(For a soldier)

Two Months

It’s been two months since you went away

Sen gideli iki ay oldu

It’s been two months since we held each other that day

Birbirimize son sarýlmamýzdan bu yana iki ay oldu

I see your smile when I close me eyes

Gözlerimi kapattýðýmda senin gülümsemeni görüyorum

Your eyes do sparkle like stars in night’s sky’s

Gözlerin gece gökyüzünde yýldýzlar gibi parlýyor

I think of you every minute of every day

Günün her dakikasýnda seni düþünüyorum

In the two months that you have been away

Gittiðin iki aydan beri

I love you now more than I did then

seni o zaman sevdiðimden daha çok seviyorum

I don’t know how or why or when

Ne zaman, nasýl ve niye bilmiyorum

You are so wonderful in all that you do

yaptýðýn herþeyde çok harikasýn

And I am so lucky that you are you

Senin sen olduðun için ben çok þanslýyým

An amazing person I am in no doubt

Senin çok harika olduðundan hiç þüphem yok

And your guys respect you for you watch out

(cant do this bit as it doesnt look right in English itself)

You look after your lads like a parent would

sen arkadaþlarýna bir anne babanýn çocuklarýna baktýðý gibi bakarsýn

And far more than that and more if you could

You all work hard and in each other you trust

You do what is needed and go where you must

But you are never alone or far from my mind

And when you are home our love we will find

Our love is not lost forgotten or hidden

But you have to stay focused and do orders as written

It’s been two months since to "name" you did go

And I love you still and much more than you know

It’s been two months and three more must there be

Until the army reunites you with me

Stay strong and stay focused my wonderful you

Patched up in the field with stitches and glue

I will love you forever of that there’s no doubt

So roll on November and You’re Home I can Shout

Thank you in advance for translating. I´m sorry it is long, but important.

I have been thinking ab out our conversations we had while I was visiting you. I am worried that you do not understand me completely. It is important to me that you know how I feel, so I decided to have this message translated into to Turkish.

 Seni ziyaret ettiðim zaman yaptýðýmýz konuþmayý düþünüp duruyorum. Beni tam olarak anlamamýþ olmandan endiþeleniyorum. Nasýl hissettiðimi bilmen benim için önemli olduðu için, bu mesajý Türkçe´ye çevirttirmeye karar verdim.

I am a strong, independent, successful woman. You know that, but you don´t seem interested in how I became the woman I am today. I told you you never ask me any questions about me. I also told you that you don´t let me talk. However, you are the one who always says, "You never listen me." How can I not listen? You do all the talking and I do all the listening, and I try to understand, but I think we have more of a language barrier than I realized.

 Ben güçlü, özgür ve baþarýlý bir kadýným. Sen bunu biliyorsun ama benim bugünkü baþarýlý halime nasýl geldiðimle pek ilgilenmiyor görünüyorsun. Sana benimle ilgili sorular sormadýðýný söyledim. Ayrýca beni hiç konuþturmadýðýný söyledim. Ama, "beni hiç dinlemiyorsun" diyen sensin. Seni nasýl dinlemem? Konuþan hep sensin, dinleyen hep benim ve seni anlamaya çalýþýyorum ama sorunumuz un sadece dil probleminden daha fazla olduðunun farkýna vardým.

I want to make sure you understand

what I was saying when we talked in Selçuk. I also want to make sure you respect what I said and take it seriously. There are two big things you need to change if you want to continue to be in a relationship with me. I will not marry a man who doesn´t let me express my opinion or explain myself, no matter how sweet and sexy he is. I will not continue to waste time dating a man who won´t let me talk, but expects me to listen to his every word. You talk to me like I am one of your customers, like you are trying to sell me something. I am not a customer. I am your girlfriend. I am the woman you say you want to marry. I will not marry a man who won´t listen to me. Please know, I am not angry. I am just trying to be very straightforward to make sure you understand.

SanaSelçuk´ta ne söylediðimi anladýðýndan emin olmak istiyorum. Ayrýca söylediðime senin saygý gösterdiðinden ve ciddiye aldýðýndan emin olmak istiyorum. Beraber olduðumuzda yada Skype´ta konuþtuðumuzda konuþtuðumuz herþey senin iþin ve senin hayatý nda neler olup bittiði hakkýnda. Sen hiçbir zaman benim iþim veya seyahatlerim hakkýnda hiçbirþey sormuyorsun ve ailem ve onlarýn nasýl olduklarýný da artýk sormaz oldun. Yine, sen bana bir müþteri muamelesi yapýyorsun.

(will be continiued...) 

The second thing that worries me is that you never ask me any questions about me. I´ve told you this, but I don´t think you take it seriously. All we talk about, when we are together OR on Skype, is your business and what is going on in your life. You never ask me about my work or my travel, and you have even stopped asking me about my family and how they are doing. Again, you treat me like a customer. Just a few days ago when I was with you, you said you know about my family and you know me. Well, you don´t know me. I told you I´ve been to some pretty amazing places and done some interesting things that not many people have done. You had about 5 more days to ask me questions about me and my past and these things while I was in Selçuk, but you still didn´t ask. Then I left and came back to China. Now we talk about you and your business on Skype. We´ve chatted two times on Skype since I returned - once about your wireless and once about a customer.

There has to be some equality in our conversations. It can´t always be you talking,  me listening. Me asking, you talking. This is not enough for me. You are smart and sweet and patient and kind and funny and very sexy. I am so attracted to you for so many reasons. I tried to tell you some of these reasons one night, but you interrupted me after three reasons. I wasn´t finished. I had more to say, and I was even talking about YOU and you still interrupted me!

These two things need to change. I need to see and feel a change. I think one of the best ways to do this is to get you away from Turkey and away from that shop. Maybe things will be different when you come here to China, but I need to know they will be different after that as well. I know we are different. You were poor as a child, I wasn´t. I went to university, you didn´t. I´ve traveled, you haven´t. I have a steady income, you have a seasonal one. I don´t care about these differences. I just want to be with you, and I am willing to make sacrifices to do that, but not if you aren´t interested in me and don´t respect what I have to say. I agreed that I need to be more patient and understanding. I will keep up my half of the deal. I am trying to. I will continue to try. But you have to do your part too. I love you. You know that. But I won´t stay in a relationship with a man who is not interested in me.

Anlýdýn mý? I hope so.  

Can someone who has a spare minute translate the message below for me (into english),its important thank you in advance guys! x

butarafa yolun düþerse beklerim

You use this phrase when someone just have had a shower, been to the hairdresser etc.

Like "Good health to you"

Dear Mr X

We are pleased to confirm your reservation for a single room for the period of 26th to 29th of April 2009.

thanks alot for your help

Sayin X Bey,

26-29 Nisan arasýndaki tek kiþilik oda rezervasyonunuzu teyit etmekten memmunluk duymaktayýz.

Sorry,  i thought we could be just good friends

ama, ben seni arkadaþim sanamayorum

 Üzgünüm, sadaece iyi arkadaþ olabileceðimizi düþünmüþtüm...

I know it is incorrect, please advise how to say it in turkish better

Þimdiden çok teþekkür ederim.

I´ve tasted pain before in my life but never like this. Hayatimda daha önce acilar yaþadim ama bunun gibisini yaþamadim

Everytime I´m in my car I´m praying it crashes, so I don´t have to live. Ne zaman araba kullansam bir kaza olsada yaþamak zorunda olmasam diye dua ediyorum.

My mind won´t stop tormenting me and I don´t understand how all my dreams have fallen apart so fast. Aklim bana iþkence etmeden durmuyor ve bütün hayallerimin bu kadar hýzlý yýkýlýp gitmesini anlamiyorum.

I´m trying to keep occupied because the second I remember everything again I feel desperate to escape. Kendimi meþgül etmeye çalýþýyorum çünkü herþeyi tekrar hatirlar hatirlamaz çok çaresiz hisssediyourm ve kaçmak istiyorum.

I asked you to ask yourself, do you love me? You said you need to think. Think? If there is love it can´t be doubted. Kendine beni sevip sevmediðini sormaný istedim. Sende düþünmen gerektiðini söyledin. Düþünmek? Eðer aþk varsa Ã¾üphe olmamalidir.

Neither of us are innocent, but even after you hurt me I still love you. Ýkimizde masum deðiliz ama sen benim kalbimi kýrdýktan sonra bile hala seni seviyorum.

You were a big part of my childhood and you stayed in my heart for many years, am I supposed to suddenly accept that everything is over? I can´t accept. Sen benim çoçukluðumun büyük bir parçasýydýn ve uzun yýllar boyunca kalbimdeydin, birdenbire herþeyin bittiðini kabul etmem mi gerekiyor?  Bunu kabul edemem.

I don´t know how we can solve this, because you make me think that if we stay together you will not be happy ever again. Bunu nasýl çözebiliriz bilmiyorum ama eðer beraber olmaya devam edersek bana hiçbir zaman mutlu olamayacakmýþsýn gibi geliyor.

I don´t want to hear you say goodbye but if you do, please don´t ask me to be friends, because I will not be strong enough to cope when one day you find the woman you wish to marry.

Senin veda ediþini duymak istemiyorum ama eðer edersen lütfen bana arkadaþ  kalalim deme çünkü eðer birgün evlenecek birisini bulursan buna dayanacak kadar güçlü  olamam.

I´m 19 years old and I´m nothing. Here I am scrubbing toilets for a job at 5am every day to get money quickly even though I have the qualifications to do something better,

19 yaþýndayým ama bir hiçim. Burada çabuk para kazanmak için her sabahýn 5inde tuvalet temizliyorum daha iyisini yapabilecek niteliklerim olduðu halde.

 I have nobody here to trust, no friends, all my family are on anti-depressants, and I´m so unhappy here. Burada güvenebileceðim hiç arkdaþým yok. Bütün ailem depresyon hapý kullanýyor, burada çok mutsuzum.

I´m tired of having to pretend that I´m happy to the people around me. But do I have to pretend to you as well?  Etrafýmdaki insanlara mutluymuþum gibi numara yapmaktan býktým usandým. Sana da mý mutluymuþum gibi numara yapmak zorundayým?

You saved me but now if you leave my life as well what is there to live for? What is my mistake? Am I such a bad person?

Sen benim hayatýmý kurtardýn ama eðer hayatýmdan çýkarsan yaþanacak ne kalýr ki? Benim hatam ne? Kötü bir insan mýyým?

All I wanted was to spend time with the man I love, instead my world has broken. 

Bütün istediðim sevdiðim adamla birlikte olmaktý dünyamýn yýkýlmasý deðil.

If you think you will never be happy with me then please leave me now, I can´t wait much longer if your decision is going to be the one I´m so scared of. I can´t carry on. Eðer benimle hiç mutlu olamayacaðýný düþünüyorsan lütfen þimdi beni býrak. Eðer kararýn benim korktuðum gibi olacaksa daha fazla bekleyemem. Böyle devam edemem.

I will not stop coming to Altinkum, I will not stop coming to Turkey,because I feel alive there, some of the best memories of my life were there, and you can take yourself away from me but you can´t ask me to erase the memories as well.

Altýnkum´a ve Türkiye´ye gelmekten vazgeçmeyeceðim, çünkü orada yaþadýðýmý hissediyorum ve hayatýmýn en güzel anýlarýný orada yaþadým, ve sen kendini benden uzaklaþtýrýbilirsin ama yaþadýðým anýlarý silmemi isteyemezsin.

I don´t know what´s happening to you but I wish I could understand.´

 Sana neler olduðunu bilmiyorum ama anlayabilmeyi isterdim.

I hope this helps Carla....

Hello,

melecigim-My sweet, adorable, ravishing, heart-breaking and pocket-filling little angel

I think meleðim is misspelled.

Meleðim: my angel

My try:

If you got kids, you got trouble.

they appreciate commitment nor advice

(maybe the söz could be translated differently)

olm girmiyorum faceboka da msnede durumlar karisik internet yoktu ewde istende ciktim kriz yuzunden sikintidayim buaralar senin leptopuda ewe biraktim bizim almadinmi babamdan? eski model ama

olm

I dont log on neither facebook nor msn. Things are not clear here. There wasnt internet at home. Becauese of the crisis I left my work as well. I am distress these days. I left your laptop at home. Didnt you get it from my father?  It is an old model though.

bana biþey söylemedi kardeþim sadece seni aradý ulaþamadý falan dedi laptop falan demedi vermek istemedi galiba sen hala duruyosa söle yakup amcaya memete verin diye ok. Kardeþim bak yine sölüyom miniyle evlen madem selma ile barýþmýcan hayatýný kurtar seni seviyorum kardeþim unutma bunu!

My brother didnt say anything only he said that he called you but couldnt reach you and so on. Didnt mention the laptop. I gather he didnt want to give it. If it is still with you tell uncle Yakup to give it to Mehmet. Look my brother I tell you again, get married with Mine since you are not gonna make up with Selma. Save your life. I love you brother never forget this.

This is my try I hope it helps..........

Thank you sooo in advance! Your assistance is so apreciated!!
