Γουρμπάν σ’εσόν το θέλεμαν

• γουρπάν:

  [gurˈban], < Turkish 'kurban', lit. "sacrifice, victim"

  This word is used in many affectionate sayings and terms in Turkey and surrounding Middle Eastern cultures, where the speaker says that they'd willingly sacrifice their well-being, their life, etc. for the happiness and well-being of the addressee. Frequent uses in Turkish include "Anne sana kurban (olsun)", roughly translating to "(May) [your] mother sacrifice herself for you", said by a mother to her child.

  It is also, like in these lyrics, used for romantic notions of sacrificing oneself for one's beloved.
