Üsküdara Gider Iken(original) |
| Üsküdar'a gider iken aldý da bir yaðmur 2x |
| Kâtibimin setresi uzun, eteði çamur 2x |
| Kâtip uykudan uyanmýþ, gözleri mahmur 2x |
| Kâtip benim, ben kâtibin, el ne karýþýr? |
| Kâtibime setereta palto ne de güzel yaraþýr |
| (Üsküdar is a little town in Ýstanbul, Turkey, |
| long the shore of the Bosphorus… |
| And in the old days, many women, especially those of upper classes, |
| had young, male secretaries and attendants… Oh, well, that’s Turkey!) |
| Üsküdar'a gider iken bir mendil buldum 2x |
| Mendilimin içine lokum doldurdum 2x |
| (The fine, Istanbullite lady and her secretary take a trip from |
| Üsküdar in the rain… |
| And on the way they fall deeply in love. |
| He’s wearing a stiff collar… |
| In a full dress suit… |
| She looks at him longingly through her light veil |
| And casually feeds him candy -turkish delight- |
| Oh, those Turks!) |
| Kâtibimi arar iken yanimda buldum 2x |
| Kâtip benim, ben kâtibin, el ne karisir? |
| Kâtibime kolali da gömlek ne güzel yarasir |
| Kâtibimi arar iken yanimda buldum 2x |
| Kâtip benim, ben kâtibin, el ne karisir? |
| Kâtibime kolali da gömlek ne güzel yarasir 2x |
| (translation) |
| While he was going to Üsküdar, he took a rain 2x |
| My secretary's dress is long, her skirt is mud 2x |
| The clerk has woken up from sleep, his eyes are droopy 2x |
| I'm the clerk, I'm the clerk, what's wrong with the hand? |
| How well does a setereta coat suit my clerk? |
| (Üsküdar is a little town in Istanbul, Turkey, |
| long the shore of the Bosphorus… |
| And in the old days, many women, especially those of upper classes, |
| had young, male secretaries and attendants… Oh, well, that's Turkey!) |
| I found a handkerchief while going to Üsküdar 2x |
| I filled Turkish delight in my handkerchief 2x |

| I found it next to me while I was looking for my clerk 2x |
| I am the clerk, I am the clerk, what is the matter? |
| How good would a shirt be for my clerk? |
| I found it next to me while I was looking for my clerk 2x |
| I am the clerk, I am the clerk, what is the matter? |
| What a great fit for my clerk in a starched shirt 2x |
