Ölü bir güneş
Geceyi
Ölmüş bir güneşin teninden kazıyıp
Geçirdim yüreğime.
A Dead Sun
I peel night
from the dead sun's flesh
and like a scarf
wrap it round
my head
A dead sun
Scraping the night
from the skin of a dead sun
I stroke it onto my heart
I’m going to translate word for word so you can see the structure used in Turkish:
Geceyi (the night) Ölmüş bir güneşin teninden (of the skin of a dead sun) kazıyıp (by scraping) Geçirdim yüreğime (I wore on my heart)
I see two possible verbs to go with heart in the end:
I wore it on my heart – The verb geçirmek can mean to wear something (wear a blouse for instance; bir bluz (a blouse) geçirmek), so here, she is wearing that skin on her heart.
I stroke it onto my heart – the verb geçirmek means to strike, to hit… so there’s more violence here.
