Lyrics and translation Incesaz, Ezgi Köker & Bora Ebeoğlu - Üskudara Gider İken

Üskudara Gider İken

Üsküdar'a gider iken aldı da bir yağmur
Üsküdar'a gider iken aldı da bir yağmur
Kâtibimin setresi uzun, eteği çamur
Kâtibimin setresi uzun, eteği çamur
Kâtip uykudan uyanmış, gözleri mahmur
Kâtip uykudan uyanmış, gözleri mahmur
Kâtip benim ben kâtibin, el ne karışır
Kâtibime kolalı da gömlek ne güzel yaraşır
Üsküdar'a gider iken bir mendil buldum
Üsküdar'a gider iken bir mendil buldum
Mendilimin içine lokum doldurdum
Mendilimin içine lokum doldurdum
Kâtibimi arar iken yanımda buldum
Kâtibimi arar iken yanımda buldum
Kâtip benim ben kâtibin, el ne karışır
Kâtibime kolalı da gömlek ne güzel yaraşır
Kâtip benim ben kâtibin, el ne karışır
Kâtibime kolalı da gömlek ne güzel yaraşır

Üskudara Gider İken

As I walked to Üsküdar, I was caught in the rain
As I walked to Üsküdar, I was caught in the rain
My scribe's coat was long, her skirt covered with mud
My scribe's coat was long, her skirt covered with mud
The scribe awoke from sleep, her eyes heavy with drowsiness
The scribe awoke from sleep, her eyes heavy with drowsiness
The scribe is mine and I am the scribe's, who else should care?
A starched shirt looks so handsome on my scribe
As I walked to Üsküdar, I found a handkerchief
As I walked to Üsküdar, I found a handkerchief
In my handkerchief, I filled it with Turkish delight
In my handkerchief, I filled it with Turkish delight
As I searched for my scribe, I found her beside me
As I searched for my scribe, I found her beside me
The scribe is mine and I am the scribe's, who else should care?
A starched shirt looks so handsome on my scribe
The scribe is mine and I am the scribe's, who else should care?
A starched shirt looks so handsome on my scribe
