Istanbul [Finnish translation]

Istanbul was Constantinople

Now it`s Istanbul, not Constantinople

Been a long time gone, Constantinople

Now it`s Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople

Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople

So if you`ve a date in Constantinople

She`ll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam

Why they changed it I can`t say

People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Constantinople

No, you can`t go back to Constantinople

Been a long time gone, Constantinople

Why did Constantinople get the works?

That`s nobody`s business but the Turks

Istanbul

Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam

Why they changed it I can`t say

People just liked it better that way

Istanbul was Constantinople

Now it`s Istanbul, not Constantinople

Been a long time gone, Constantinople

Why did Constantinople get the works?

That`s nobody`s business but the Turks
