(Not real sure about the the meaning of the Korus)

Bir Tek Ask Icin

Iste BaSladir bir ask sardi yine
Behold began one passion wrapped new

No egri’ ne dogru sormak zor kendime
What bend what straight to pray myself hard

C’ok zordur a canim gO’rmek hatayi
Much hard was my soul ;to see the mistake

Insanogulansan eG’er
Humanity whether

Uzanip yataG’a baslarsin duaya
Long will go to bed you begin prayer

Her S’ey iyi gitsin diye sizlanirisin
Everything good you must go it said lest they become you

Aslinda Umutlerdan el CikmiSsin
ACTUALLY Hopes from you fly

Yine de baG’lasin aska
Again that committed to the passion

Bir tek ask iCin varsan eGer OnCe bir bak yukariya
One sole passion inside occurs if first one looks up.

[KORUS:]
Allah severken tutar elinden birakmaz aman OF.
Gods loves while touchs from the hand mercy without quitting HEY.

Sevmeyi bilirisen askini beSlarisen dertlar iz birakmaz OF.
Love only you ever know passion to you fed pains mark quiting not uGH.

Teşekkür ederim

(I translate many songs for practice, I think the helpers can correct them without much effort, and maybe the other students will gain something, in this song, I wonder if I mistook verbal nouns for negative imperative verbs)

Aşka inanmam
The passion I can’t believe

Ama asksiz yaşamam
But passionless I can’t live
Birileri buna yapmali
To the ones that must be done
Aşka inanmam
The passion I can’t believe

Ama yalniz uyanmam
But alone I can’t awaken
Birileri buna yapmali
To the ones that making with

KORUS:
Yine yalniz yine tutsak
Again alone again captive
Gözümün çevresi ıslak
My eyes’ are damp around
Yine kumdan kalelerde yaşiyorum
Again within sand castles I live

Mylo is right, I omitted the "my" before everything.

Note: Many of you. (and you know who you are) helped write a letter to my wifes friend in Istanbul. I am posting the first paragraph of her letter and my tranlation for you to comment on or correct. Thanks.

Mektubunu alinca çok mutlu oldum. Senden aldiğim ikinçi mektup meketubunun Türkçe olması beni dahada sevendirdi çok güzel yazmişsin başarilinin devamini dilerim ve seni cesaretin den dolayi kutlarim.

Getting the letter produced much happiness. As if I got from you twice as a letter, the letters’ Turkish to me is so much more delightfully beautiful that you (apparently) have written permanently successful I am feelng and to you for your courage I congratulate you.
