Edip Akbayram - Istanbul Lyrics
Salkim salkim tan yelleri estiginde
Mavi patiskalari yirtan gemilerinle
Uzaktan seni düsünür düsünürüm
Istanbul Binbir direkli Haliç'inde aksamlar
Adalarinda bahar Süleymaniye'nde günes
Ey sen ne güzelsin kavgamizin sehri
Istanbul Bosuna çekilmedi bunca acilar
Büyük ve sakin Süleymaniye'nle bekle
Parklarinla, köprülerinle, meydanlarinla
Bekle bizi Istanbul Tophane'nin karanlik sokaklarindaEdip Akbayram - Istanbul Lyrics - http://motolyrics.com/edip-akbayram/istanbul-lyrics-lyrics-english-translation.html
Koyun koyuna yatan çocuklarinla bekle
Bekle zafer sarkilariyla geçisimizi
Istanbul Haramilerin saltanatini yikacagiz
Bekle o günler gelsin gelsin Istanbul
Sen bize layiksin bizde sana Istanbul
Istanbul Bosuna çekilmedi bunca acilar
Büyük ve sakin Süleymaniye'nle bekle
Parklarinla köprülerinle meydanlarinla
Bekle bizi Istanbul Submitter's comments: Thank you for everything
Edip Akbayram - Istanbul (In clusters) (English translation)
When dawn breezes blow in clusters
with your ships that tear out the blue cambrics
I think of you, from afar
Istanbul
The evenings at your Golden Horn (Haliç) with its endless masts,
The spring in your islands, the sun in your Süleymaniye,
O you beautiful, the city of our cause/fight
Istanbul
This much pain wasn't suffered in vain,
Wait with your grand and quiet Süleymaniye
with your parks, bridges, squares,
Wait for us, Istanbul
In the dark streets of TophaneEdip Akbayram - Istanbul Lyrics - http://motolyrics.com/edip-akbayram/istanbul-lyrics-lyrics-english-translation.html
Wait for us, with your children cuddling up,
Wait for our parade with paeans
Istanbul
We are going to tear down the reign of bandits,
Wait for those days to come, Istanbul
We deserve you, and you deserve us, Istanbul
Istanbul
This much pain wasn't suffered in vain,
Wait with your grand and quiet Süleymaniye
with your parks, bridges, squares,
Wait for us, Istanbul
