Bekle Bizi İstanbul [English translation]

When bunches of dawn breezes flow

With tour boats tearing blue lawns

I think of you from far away

Istanbul

Nights in your Golden Horn are with thousands of masts

Spring on your islands, sun in Suleymaniye

So beautiful you are our city of dispute

Istanbul

All this pain was not for nothing

Wait along with your grand and tranquil Suleymaniye

With your parks, bridges, squares

Wait for us İstanbul

In the dark streets of Tophane

Wait along with your children cuddling up together

Wait for us to march with our victory songs

Wait for us İstanbul

We are going to overthrow the reign of waylayers

Wait for those days to come

You deserve us and we deserve you
