Mercan Dede - İstanbul
Üsküdara giderken aldı yağmur
Altı da üstü de bir gemi İstanbul
Paslı tozlu eski ve yeni kalmış
Kasnak üstü altı, altı dolu
Sol anahtarı, Marmara, nota, martı
Kocaman aşkları yere düşüp de kalktı
Bu yaşının altında gönül sefası
Kız kulesi karşı, bir de selamsız
Yazı, kışı, baharı çekilecek, kahrı da
Çekiyor ki kahrımızı açıyor bahtı
Akıyor denizi dere gibi ters dönemedeMercan Dede - İstanbul - http://motolyrics.com/mercan-dede/istanbul-lyrics-english-translation.html
Çekiyor insanı her güne her dönem
Kalabalık açık hava müzesi mahşer
Kimisine şans kimine de mavzer
Kimisine pas da vermeyen bu dilber
Eteğine sarılıp işi (...) dönenler
(.....) (.....) üfleyip yiyenler
Her bir köşesi neşe bir köşesi dertten
Üsküdara giderikan aldı yağmur
Gönül sefası
İstanbul
Mercan Dede - İstanbul (English translation)
The rain started when I was going to Üsküdar
İstanbul is a ship under and above
It's rusty, dusty and stayed new
Its under and above is hoop
Its treble clef(music) is Marmara(see) and the note(musical) is a gull
Its big loves fell on the ground then stood
The pleasure of heart under its age
Kız kulesi(the castle of the girl) is against and without greeting
Its summer, winter, spring we put up with the pain of it
It copes with us, it suffers
Its sea is flowing like a river on the back curveMercan Dede - İstanbul - http://motolyrics.com/mercan-dede/istanbul-lyrics-english-translation.html
It's pulling people to everyday, to every period
Crowded, open air museum,the Day of Judgment.
It's lucky to somebody, it's Mauser rifle to somebody
This woman doesn't give(a man)the glad eye.
The ones whose job turns back
The ones who eats by blowing
Its every corner is joy, its one corner is in trouble
The rain started when I was going to Üsküdar
The pleasure of heart
İstanbul
