***Ok I don't think I am going to get much just asking for a translation, so I have revised my post and included what I came up with when I translated it myself into english. Can someone please look it over and let me know what needs fixed? I am still learning Turkish, so I know this is a very bad translation and I apologize for that, but at least I tried. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I am looking for help with translating a turkish song into english. My boyfriend sent it to me and he said it is a wonderful song. I have tried to translate it myself, but it just doesn't seem right. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you so much!

Söz Vermiştin
Performed by: Candan Erçetin

Söz vermiştin bana
Yanıbaşımda yaşlanmaya
Söz vermiştik bu dünyaya
Ne olursak olsaydık

Kaç yıl geçti bak hala
Son bakışın miras bana
Saklı duruyor ne fayda
Bıraksaydın solsaydık

Hangi bahane avutur bilmem
Hangi günahın bedeli bu
Kandırmıyor ne gündüzüm ne gecem
Böyle intikam olmaz

Çok mu fazla bu sitem
Ağır değil mi bu ceza
Söyle kim çok gördü seni bana
Böyle yalnız kalınmaz

Paylaşılmıyor hüzün
Paylaşamam yolu yok bunun
Kavuşuruz yolu yok bunun
Görülecek günü geldikçe

-------

Promise to give me
… grow old
Promise to allow this world
What … loyal

How many years of voyages do you look at still
Last look inherited to me
Hidden stop harass what use
Break it off left loyal

Which excuse consolation know
Which sin substitutes this
Seduction by daylight by night
Such revenge impossible

Much … excessive this complaint
Heavy not … this punishment
Say whoever much catch sight of you me
Such alone thick

Share sadness
Share road unavailable of this
Perfect road unavailable of this
To be seen envy arrive

That's very good from you to try to translate! I appreciate it, even more so since many dt bother that much. Thanks for the effort!

so, I'll correct the 1st stanza and leave the rest for someone else:

Söz vermiştin bana
Yanıbaşımda yaşlanmaya
Söz vermiştik bu dünyaya
Ne olursak olsaydık

You had promised me
That you'd grow old at my side
We had promised to this world
Whatever may become of us

Thank you senni, I really appreciate your help.

Second Part.
I don’t know which pretext would soothe it.
I don’t know which sin’s consequence is this
Neither my day nor my night can delude me
Even the revenge should not be like this. ( Should have been shorther but no direct translation exists.)

Baris

well, that's the third stanza, not second.
thanks nsabah for your participation!

You are right. And this is the last stanza.

The sorrow can not be shared;
There is no way that I can share it;
We will get together that is for sure;
When the day arrives.
