Traducció - Turc-Anglès - AÅŸkınla Beni Öldürdün

Hi onurkayabasi,

Your translation has several differences with the French version.

Can you re read it and try and eliminate the mistakes?

Poetry is extremely difficult to translate, so if needs be use poetic license and convey the meaning rather than the words themselves.

Hi Tantine,

I don't know French and i used the Turkish version to translate into English.

I'm so sorry about that.

You're absolutely right actually, translating a poetry into another language may make poetry lose its meaning, and translating a translated version of poetry may cause double lose.

Hi all

Tantine, who translated this text into French is me but Francky made lots of corrections to make it sound more natural in French and we expressly marked it as "Meaning only". So, I can say that onurkayabasi's translation is closer to the meaning of the Turkish text than its French version.

I just would like to add a few things. First, this sentence should be changed:

-Let the ones that do not touch us live.

The verb used in the Turkish text is "to touch" but it has a figurative meaning, so we'd better change it like this:

- Let the ones who don't hurt us live.

Also,

- Of course, there is a return of this (means your) going

- Come on, let's go, let's stay happy.

Except these things, his translation fits the Turkish text. Hope my explanations are helpful

Hi,

There are some major meaning differences between the French and English text, but I suppose the general idea is expressed.
