İzmir'in kızları [English translation]

Izmir girls, with tweezers in their hand

Females, predators, rogues, sweet and ill-tempered

Go outside in silk stockings

In war and in love they act like true women

No other heels click so invitingly

With on look they level you to the ground,

oh, it's impossible

In a moonlight of the bay, stars,

In the strong taste of salt

The wind of their jasmine parfumes comes from thei balconies

Izmir girls,

They have no fear

Come on , fella, play, let's dance

Izmir girls

i'm somewhat shy to say this, let it between us

they die, making love

Sometimes they die fighting, if necessary

Dad, what's your problem with my short skirt

Under the staircase i'd pull it up from my knees to waist

I'd go to balcony, read a novel,

the bridge would've moaned

You looked at me so rougly,

Ay! i barely came in time

Dad, you were going to look at a mother,

Not to take a daughter

You weren't going to giggle at how grandma curses

You weren't going to get lost in the green eyes

Of ladey Shehriban, at the moment you saw here enjoying her smoke

Izmir girls are setting men on fire
