İstanbul Lyrics English Translation

Saçlarini dagitir rüzgar
The wind scatters your hair
Yeditepe üzerinden
Via Yeditepe
Hatiralar, tarihin küllerini savurur
Memories scatter the ashes of history
Kadin gibi, kisrak gibi sarilayim
Let me embrace you like a woman, like a mare
Gel ince beline
Come to your thin waist
Yarim Istanbul gel öpeyim gerdanindan
My half Istanbul, come and let me kiss your neck
N

Tüketilmis yasanmamis
Consumed, not lived
Hediyelik hayatlar ah bu evler,
Gift lives, oh these houses,
Pencereler, bu kapilar, sokaklar
Windows, these doors, streets
Hüzün gibi sevinç gibi,
Like sadness and joy,
Eskitilmis zamanlar
old times
Yarim Istanbul gel öpeyim gerdanindan
My half Istanbul, come and let me kiss your neck
N

Minareler uzanmis gökyüzüne bagirir
Minarets stretch out and shout at the sky
Kara sevdan nerelerden
Where does your black love come from?
Yüregimi çagirir
It calls my heart
Dua gibi, büyü gibi ezberledim hasretini
I memorized your longing like a prayer, like a spell
Yarim Istanbul gel öpeyim gerdanindan
My half Istanbul, come and let me kiss your neck
