"Boyle olur mu?" - kultur korner (10/10/10)

...a bit of culture, to help offset the politics: a translation was posted in the comments to this video



YouTube comment from TURKIYE'DE BARIS: "Dereler caglar oldu / Gozlerim aglar oldu / Gelmedigin aylar oldu / Boyle olur mu? / Dilden dile dusurdun beni / Boyle olur mu? The brooks are roaring / My eyes cry / It has been months since you have come / How is this possible (i.e. How could you do this?) / People are talking of me / How is this possible? (i.e. How could you do this?) It's a beautiful but sad song. A literal translation is almost impossible as you would have to learn Turkish to fully appreciate the words :-)"
