Ever since Istanbul is Istanbul (song text: French/Turkish lyrics)

Lying down on a rock in the middle of Kanlica,

I make my tears swim towards Hisar,

There’s nothing left to do, she wanted to go and went away

Though I understand, it pains me deeply, as it ended so one-sidedly.

 

I now need the lodos (southwest winds), a paddle, a boat

A few bottles of red wine in the hidden stash, both the earth and sky are red

I curse at whatever came and passed, if it’s vulgar so be it

The morning star, left from the evening, falls on me.

 

Oh, ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,

It’s never witnessed such grief

I’m dying from your love

There’s no trace of pride left in me.

 

Ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,

It’s never witnessed such grief

I’m dying from your love

There’s no trace of pride left in me.

 

What a pity, how man is defeated by himself,

No cure for betrayal has been found, the heart is an immense black void

Nothing can be done, that’s just how the heart is, it only loved

I’m about to know a new skin, a new excitement.

 

I now need the lodos (south west winds) , a paddle, a boat

A few bottles of red wine in the hidden stash, both the earth and sky are red

I curse at whatever came and passed, if it’s vulgar so be it

The morning star, left from the evening, falls on me.

 

Oh, ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,

It’s never witnessed such grief

I’m dying from your love

There’s no trace of pride left in me.

 

Ever since Istanbul is Istanbul,

It’s never witnessed such grief

I’m dying a wretched death from your love

There’s no trace of pride left in me.

Istambul : Bosphorus -Summer Palace of Kucuksu ,Rococò building built in 1856 by sultan Abdulmecit on the Asian side of the Bosphorus .

Life can't be all that bad, I'd think from time to time. Whatever happens, I can always take a long walk along the Bosphorus.

Estrecho de Bosforo. Estambul. Turquía

A fascinating mosque near the Bosphorus bridge that linke Europe and Asia.

Istanbul is a world class city and one of my favorite cities on the planet. A trip here is well worth it. Half of the city is in Europe and half in Asia separated by the beautiful blue Bosphorus Strait. It's easy to get around with the metro, public boats, and is extremely safe to walk around, even at night. I love this city!
