Sen İstanbul'sun [English translation]

The florist in the corner asked about you this morning

'She’s not here', i said. He said hello to you

And that his roses were fresh (new).. Like your absence…

I walked a little, i dreamed of you

I adorned my hope with you.

Neither narrow streets nor empty bus stops

helped me to forget you.

Can a small goodbye of yours

end a huge love like this? What do you think?

Sometimes a paving stone, sometimes a busker..

Simply, you’re Istanbul.

Can a small goodbye of yours end a huge love like this?

What do you think?

Sometimes Kanlıca coast, sometimes lonely Maiden’s Tower..

Simply, you’re Istanbul.
