Güzelliğin on para etmez - Çeviri
Selam! Kısa bir çeviri yapmak denedim, ama zor çünkü her şey anlamadım. Its such a great song but there are a few lines I really don't get, especially in the second verse, and there are probably several other mistakes. Please correct and add your interpretation if you like, so I can enjoy Veysel even more :)
Güzelliğin on par'etmez (Your beauty is worthless)
Bu bendeki aşk olmasa (But for this love in me)
Eğlenecek yer bulaman (It will have fun? You can not find a place)
Gönlümdeki köşk olmasa (But for the pavillion in my heart)
Kim okurdu kim yazardı (Who was reading, who was the writer)
Bu düğümü kim çözerdi (Who solved this knot)
Koyun kurt ile gezerdi (Sheep were traveling with wolves)
Fikir başka başk’olmasa (But for another idea?)
Senden aldım bu feryadı (I took this scream from you)
Bu imiş dünyanın tadı (This that was is the taste of the world)
Anılmazdı VEYSEL adı (The name of VEYSEL was not mentioned)
O sana aşık olmasa. (But for that he is in love with you) (Aah, just realized his first name is Aşık! Makes sense, they're on first name basis then ;)

Bu bendeki aşk olmasa (without this love in me)
Eğlenecek yer bulaman (I can't find enjoyable place)
Gönlümdeki köşk olmasa (without pavillion in my heart)
Kim okurdu kim yazardı (Who would read, who would write)
Bu düğümü kim çözerdi (Who would solve this knot)
Koyun kurt ile gezerdi (Sheep would get along well with wolf)
Fikir başka başk’olmasa (unless thoughts vary)
Senden aldım bu feryadı (I took this scream from you)
Bu imiş dünyanın tadı (This was the taste of the world)
Anılmazdı VEYSEL adı (The name of VEYSEL wouldn't be remembered)
O sana aşık olmasa. (if he didn't love you) (Aah, just realized his first name is Aşık! Makes sense, they're on first name basis then ;) (it's not his first name; 'aşık' means 'bard' in Turkish.)

"Eğlenecek yer bulaman"
The last word is a bit tricky, and this would probably a topic in advanced spoken Turkish. In modern standard Turkish, "bulaman" would be written as "bulamazsın" that is "you can't find."
The last letter "n" is actually a nasal n, sometimes denoted as "ng". It is still present in most Turkic languages and in many dialects of Turkish throughout Turkey. In Ottoman Turkish, it had its own letter, called "Kaf-i Türki" but in the Istanbul tongue, that nasal sound had become regular n, so the Latin script of Turkish omits this sound.
