Текст пісні
Once upon the Bosphorus, so foreign, so unknown
Even palace gardens whisper secrets of their own
Istanbul on seven hills, layered in its past
Tulips fall in love with colors meant to last
Flowered gardens waving, a city full of tales
A land of hidden wonders where every heart prevails
The beauty of the past has changed its form
Those who remember feel the pain, the storm
Painted in black and white, yet still it calls
My heart has become Istanbul, through its walls
Majesty and silence ripple through the seas
Stone mansions watch their friends with mysteries
Wooden villas on the Bosphorus smile to their owners
A world adorned with dreams, where thinking alone is forbidden
Every building has a story, every corner a new world
Beauty in its architecture, love quietly unfurled
The new generation wanders, scattered everywhere
Can't you see, there's no paradise like this anywhere
All seated in their Irem palaces
Does anyone know the value now, in these spaces?
My heart has become Istanbul, my soul has found its home
Through all the tales of the Bosphorus, I'll never roam
