ISTANBUL Lyrics

I walked by the sea

Crossing by a woman in red

Her right palm has a sacred sign

Coming from the old ages

Istanbul, dark city of the light land

Istanbul, mon amour

Istanbul, squeeze me like a lemon

Hug me tight, Leave me alone

I watched the maiden try to fly

She can't reach the sky

'cause she sticks to the rock of Bosphorus

By the angel of the evil water

Istanbul, dark city of the light land

Istanbul, mon amour

Istanbul, squeeze me like a lemon

Hug me tight, Leave me alone

The man, weary of solitude

Lost amongst twenty million souls

Trying hard upon the seven hills

Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one

Istanbul, city with the seven hills

Istanbul, no place to hide out

Istanbul, squeeze me like a lemon

Hug me tight, Leave me alone
