Will You Marry Me? (Turkish-English)

A proposal of marriage

I want to be
For you
Both slave
Both owner
Can this be?

And should we fight
I want to be
For you
Tigerishly fierce
And you
You kittenishly angry
Both kitten and tiger
Can this be?

I want to be
For you
Both loving father
And ardent lover
And you
For me
Both mothering me
And yet desiring me
Can this be?

I want to be
For you
Both a little son
And brotherly

And you
For me
Both sisterly
And daughterly
Can this be?

I want to be
For you
The sky above you
And the earth beneath you

And you
For me
Both sky above
and earth beneath
Can this be?

I want to be
For you
Both the light in your eyes
And the peace in your heart

And you
For me
Both divine light
And inner peace
Can this be?

I want to be
For you
Your everything
Your husband
Your possessor

And you
For me
Both my wife
And my possessor
My everything
Can this be?
