Paroles et traduction Eartha Kitt - Uska Dara

Uska Dara

Üsküdar′a gider iken aldi da bir yagmur
Üsküdar'a gider iken aldi da bir yagmur
Kâtibimin setresi uzun, etegi çamur
Kâtibimin setresi uzun, etegi çamur

Kâtip uykudan uyanmis, gözleri mahmur
Kâtip uykudan uyanmis, gözleri mahmur
Kâtip benim, ben kâtibin, ele karisir?
Kâtibime siter eter faltu ne güzel yarasir

Uska dara is a little town in Turkey
And in the old days
Many women had male secretaries
Oh, well, that′s Turkey

Üsküdar'a gider iken bir mendil buldum
Üsküdar'a gider iken bir mendil buldum
Mendilimin içine lokum doldurdum
Mendilimin içine lokum doldurdum

They take a trip from Usku dara in the rain
And on the way they fall in love
He′s wearing a stiff collar, in a full dress suit
She looks at him longingly through her veil
And casually feeds him candy, oh, those Turks

Kâtibimi arar iken yanimda buldum
Kâtibimi arar iken yanimda buldum
Kâtip benim, ben kâtibin, el ne karisir?
Kâtibime kolali da gömlek ne güzel yarasir

Kâtibimi arar iken yanimda buldum
Kâtibimi arar iken yanimda buldum
Kâtip benim, ben kâtibin, el ne karisir?
Kâtibime kolali da gömlek ne güzel yarasir
Kâtibime kolali da gömlek ne güzel yarasir

Uska Dara

When I went to Üsküdar, it rained
When I went to Üsküdar, it rained
My secretary's coat is long, her skirt is muddy
My secretary's coat is long, her skirt is muddy

The secretary woke up from sleep, her eyes are sleepy
The secretary woke up from sleep, her eyes are sleepy
The secretary is mine, and I am the secretary's, who can interfere?
My secretary plays the sitar, how beautiful it looks on her

Uska dara is a little town in Turkey
And in the old days
Many women had male secretaries
Oh, well, that′s Turkey

When I went to Üsküdar I found a handkerchief
When I went to Üsküdar I found a handkerchief
I filled my handkerchief with sweets
I filled my handkerchief with sweets

They take a trip from Usku dara in the rain
And on the way they fall in love
He′s wearing a stiff collar, in a full dress suit
She looks at him longingly through her veil
And casually feeds him candy, oh, those Turks

When I was looking for my secretary, I found him/her by my side
When I was looking for my secretary, I found him/her by my side
The secretary is mine, I am the secretary's, who can interfere?
My secretary's starched shirt looks so good on him/her

When I was looking for my secretary, I found him/her by my side
When I was looking for my secretary, I found him/her by my side
The secretary is mine, I am the secretary's, who can interfere?
My secretary's starched shirt looks so good on him/her
My secretary's starched shirt looks so good on him/her
