When I Saw You...

This is a song by Turkish Singer İbrahim Tatlıses (Gördükçe Seni Tazelenir Sanki Hayatım), translated by me...
(The picture is from one of his old movies in the early 1980s)





Is your beauty that of a moon, o precious beloved one?
Are you an angel or a human, o pain of my soul?
May i be sacrificed for the sake of your name!

When i saw you, i felt as if my life was renewed
Is this soul of mine, or this whole world worth an atom without you?

I wonder, is your face made of daffodil?
Are your cheeks made of roses?
You bear the beauty of God's Creation
Are your lips made of milk and sugar?!
May i be sacrificed for the sake of your name!
