Istanbul [Russian translation]
Istanbul [Russian translation]
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it`s Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it`s Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you`ve a date in Constantinople
She`ll be waiting in Istanbul
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can`t say
People just liked it better that way
So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can`t go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That`s nobody`s business but the Turks
Istanbul
Istanbul
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can`t say
People just liked it better that way
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it`s Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That`s nobody`s business but the Turks
