Back to the strip club again!
Ancak isiklar uzerinde parlar parlamaz..... The context is at a strip club & the passage goes like this:-
Cok guzel bir genc kadin bir gece klubunde stiptrizci olarak is bulmustu. ilk kez sahneye cikacagi icin cok heyecanliydi. Ancak isiklar uzerinde parlar parlamazoyle bir alkis tufani koptu ki, heyecani hemen yatisti.

Does this mean 'her excitement subsided' or '[the applause] allayed/calmed her excitement?
