Текст и перевод песни İmera - Yan İstanbul

Yan İstanbul

Gurbetluk dedukleri
Heptan kara sevdali
Dertlerumun dermani
Gönlümun nazlı yar
Ah İstanbul yanasun
Senda mecnun olasun
Kavuşmasun iki yakan
Hasretten kavrulasun
Bekledum yalan oldi
Yarum ile sözumuz
Sen orada ben burda
Yolda kaldi gözumuz
Ah istanbul yanasun
Senda verem olasun
Kavuşmasun iki yakan
Hasretten kavrulasun
Ayruluğun derdune
Duşmeyen nerden bilur?
Bir da sevda yolinda
Yanmayan nerdan bilur?
Ah istanbul yanasun
Senda verem olasun
Kavuşmasun iki yakan
Hasretten kavrulasun

Burning Istanbul

They call it exile
Yet I am a devoted lover of it
It is the cure for my ailments
The enchanting beauty of my heart
Oh Istanbul, may you burn
And may you become delirious with love for me
May your two shores never meet
And may you burn with longing
I have waited, but it was all in vain
The promise I made with my beloved
You there, and I here
Our eyes remain fixed on the path
Oh Istanbul, may you burn
And may you waste away with longing
May your two shores never meet
And may you burn with longing
The pain of separation
How can one know, unless they have experienced it?
Or the path of love
How can one know, unless they have burned?
Oh Istanbul, may you burn
And may you waste away with longing
May your two shores never meet
And may you burn with longing
