Paroles et traduction Mustafa Sandal - İstanbul

İstanbul

Ortaköy'de seni ilk gördüğüm yer
Yağmur gözlerin ıslak yaşlı
Kaderinde ben varım sanmışım
Yanılmışım çok yaralanmışım
Yolda gördüğün o yaşlı çift gibi
Ellerin elimde yaşlanacaktık
Kadere bu aşkı ben yazdıramadım
Teselliymişim ben aşk olamadım
İstanbul gibi ruhum
Hem karışık hem duru
Bakışların rüzgarlı
Gülüşünde güneş var
Kalbimden atamadım
O yağmur kokunu
Gittiğin günden beri
Kalbim ağır yaralı

Istanbul

Ortaköy, the place where I first saw you
Your eyes like rain, wet with tears
I thought I was in your destiny
I was wrong, I was deeply hurt
Like that old couple you saw on the road
Our hands were supposed to grow old together
I couldn't write this love into destiny
I was just a consolation, I couldn't be love
My soul is like Istanbul
Both chaotic and pure
Your gaze is windy
There's sunshine in your smile
I couldn't get rid of
That rainy scent of yours
Since the day you left
My heart is deeply wounded
