Текст и перевод песни Ete Kurttekin - İstanbul

İstanbul

Gözlerim kızarmış
Annem çok uzaklarda
Kardeşim kendi derdinde
Ben hala buralarda
Sorarsan neden diye
Cevabıma inanmazsın
Ama yinede söyliyim
Belki de seni sevdiğim için

İstanbul
Taşın toprağın kokmuş
Belki temizdin eskiden
Artık ruhun yorulmuş

İstanbul
Bütün dengen bozulmuş
Belki güzeldin eskiden
Yaşlılık yüzüne vurmuş

Ne kadir kıymet kalmış
Ne suret insanlarda
Herkes bir lokmanın peşinde kurtlar sofrasında
Peki neden gitmedin?
Neden hala burdasın?
Söylesem inanmazsın seni sevdiğim için

İstanbul
Taşın toprağın kokmuş
Belki temizdin eskiden
Artık ruhun yorulmuş

İstanbul
Bütün dengen bozulmuş
Belki güzeldin eskiden
Yaşlılık yüzüne vurmuş

İstanbul
Taşın toprağın kokmuş
Belki temizdin eskiden eskiden
İstanbul

İstanbul
Bütün dengen bozulmuş
Belki güzeldin eskiden
Yaşlılık yüzüne vurmuş

İstanbul

Istanbul

My eyes are red
My mother is far away
My brother is in his own trouble
I'm still here
If you ask why
You won't believe my answer
But I'll say it anyway
Maybe because I love you

Istanbul
Your stone and soil smell
Maybe you were clean before
Now your soul is tired

Istanbul
Your whole balance is ruined
Maybe you were beautiful before
Old age has taken its toll on you

There's no more value or respect
No modesty in people
Everyone is after a bite to eat at the wolves' table
So why didn't you leave?
Why are you still here?
You wouldn't believe me if I said it's because I love you

Istanbul
Your stone and soil smell
Maybe you were clean before
Now your soul is tired

Istanbul
Your whole balance is ruined
Maybe you were beautiful before
Old age has taken its toll on you

Istanbul
Your stone and soil smell
Maybe you were clean before, before
Istanbul

Istanbul
Your whole balance is ruined
Maybe you were beautiful before
Old age has taken its toll on you

Istanbul
