Should I glow like the sun in the morning light
Then this lovely Anatolia would integrate with my love
Should I watch the world from the top of the skies
Should I walk around Istanbul by taking on seagulls.
As a shipboard hides love affairs
Istanbul songs blow my mind
I inscribed all my memories in my heart
Should I watch Istanbul from the highest hills.
I had forgotten myself sometime in the sundown
I left my soul in the waters of the Bosphorus
I could not express my love for the life of one
Should I be unaware of Istanbul by going out like a light.
I would like to shout out on your chaotic roads
If I close my eyes, I see you in front of me
I draw the faces full of love on the waters
O unmatched beauty, I love you in earnest.
