Original lyrics

Söyleyemedim

Düşlerde sevdim seni söyleyemedim

Sessiz öptüm nefesini söyleyemedim

Sana ben şiirler sözler büyüttüm

Sana ben baharlar yazlar büyüttüm

Sana ben hummalı gizler büyüttüm

Söyleyemedim

Şarkılar yazdım sana okuyamadım

Şiirler yazdım sana okuyamadım

Hep yanımdaydın oysa dokunamadım

Sana ben şiirler sözler büyüttüm

Sana ben baharlar yazlar büyüttüm

Sana ben hummalı gizler büyüttüm

Söyleyemedim

I couldn't Say Anything

I loved you in my dreams, I couldn't say anything.

I kissed you in silence and from afar, I couldn't say anything.

You lived in my endless pomes.

Your love grew inside me like endless springs and summers.

I kept you inside me like a secret,

I couldn't say anything.

I wrote you songs that I couldn't sing.

I wrote you pomes that I couldn't read.

Even, if you were always with me, I still wouldn't be able to touch you.

You lived in my endless pomes.

Your love grew inside me like endless springs and summers.

I kept you inside me like a secret,

I couldn't say anything.

This is generally a beautiful translation. Thanks!

I'm not the greatest fan of poetic translations, but you have captured the essence of this song quite well.

Anyway, I think you could make a little more effort in translating these two lines:
1) Your love grew inside me like endless springs and summers.
2) Even, if you were always with me, I still wouldn't be able to touch you
The first one is a little vague to me. The second one is needlessly convoluted.

Anyway, thanks again for your time and effort. This vote will make your translation #1 among all available English translations.
