Tarkan has been the top-selling pop singer in this country for years now, following the huge success of his tour in continental countries where he had conquered all hearts with his hit songs "Şımarık" (commonly known as "the kiss-song") and "Şıkıdım".

best-seller = çok satan... top-selling = zirvedeki...  continental countries = Avrupa ülkeleri (GB açısından bakılarak)... commonly known as = yaygın olarak; şeklinde bilinen...

His music reflects a perfect balance between Western pop-music and oriental influences. His lyrics are loaded with Turkish slang, often sexually tinted, and he dances in a sensual, provocative way. 

reflects a perfect balance = mükemmel bir dengeyi yansıtıyor... lyrics = şarkı sözleri... loaded with = ile yüklü... Turkish slang = Türk argosu...  sexually tinted = cinsel nüanslar taşıyor... sensual = tensel, şehevi... provocative = tahrik edici...

But who is this man really ? Let's get to know him a little better...

Ama kim bu adam gerçekten? Haydi onu daha yakından tanıyalım...

He was born on October 17, 1972 in a small town near Frankfurt to a Turkish family of modest means. At the age of fourteen he came to live in Turkland when the family decided to move back to their country of origin...

to a Turkish family of modest means = orta halli bir Türk ailesine... move back to their country of origin = kendi ülkelerine dönmek...

Tarkan broke sales records and rose to the top of the Turkish rock- and pop scene. From then on, he was always in the center of media attention. His life was documented on every front-page and every TV-program. In fact, he was the first male ever to appear on the cover of the Turkish Cosmopolitan.

broke sales records = satış rekorları kırıyordu... rock- and pop scene = rock ve pop dünyası...  media attention = basının dikkat odağı... ever to appear = o zamana değin (tüm zamanlardaki) ilk... on the cover of = kapağında...

Thus, a megastar was born! He had finally achieved the success he had always dreamed of, but as always there was a price to pay for fame and fortune. He couldn't now take a step outside without his bodyguards accompanying him and the paparazzi keep following him around everywhere he goes.

Thus, a megastar was born = Böylece bir yıldız doğmuştu... a price to pay for fame and fortune = şöhret ve servet karşılığı ödenecek bedel... bodyguards accompanying him = eşlik eden korumacılar... the paparazzi = (İtalyancadan çoğul) paparazzi muhabirleri...
