İstanbul Aşıkları Lyrics English Translation by Ayla Çelik
Lovers don’t walk in the rain anymore
Nobody’s waiting by the windows anymore
Even the longing is gone…
The reunions too…
Everyone’s turned their backs on the moonlight
The rowboats have long been pulled ashore
The poems are done…
Those songs too…
Roses are unfaithful, violets are traitors
That cruel one should’ve come long ago, long ago
Let Istanbul’s lovers meet in heaven
World, turn out the lights
Roses are unfaithful, violets are traitors
That cruel one should’ve come long ago, long ago
Let Istanbul’s lovers meet in heaven
World, turn out the lights
Everyone’s turned their backs on the moonlight
The rowboats have long been pulled ashore
The poems are done…
Those songs too…
Roses are unfaithful, violets are traitors
That cruel one should’ve come long ago, long ago
Let Istanbul’s lovers meet in heaven
World, turn out the lights
