English translation

Beyoğlu

Beyoğlunda yürüdüm bugün

I walked around in Beyoğlu* today

Günlerden çarşambaydı

It was Wednesday

Üstelik yağmur da yağıyordu, üstüm başım ıslaktı

Also it was raining, I was wet all over

Bir işim yoktu, gelmek için özel bir sebebim de

I didn't have anything to do or a special reason to come here

Anlatılır gibi değil bu, burası Beyoğlu

It is beyond words, it is Beyoğlu here

Bir gazete aldım karşıki büfeden

I bought a newspaper from the buffet across the street

Okuyormuş gibi yaptım

I pretended like I was reading it

Bir sigara yaktım ve içime çektim

I lit a cigarette and inhaled it

Sanki doymamış gibi

As if I haven't had enough of it

Her şeyim oyun, dünya koskoca bir sahne

Everything is a game for me, the world is a big stage

Şu upuzun caddede sanki bir tek ben varım

As if only I exist in this long street

Kaldırım yok ve sağa sola bakmak

There's no pavement or no looking left or right

İzinsiz yürüyüş yasak

A walk without permission is prohibited

Köşede bir polis var ancak

There's a police around the corner but

Belinde bir oyuncak, sanma seni vuracak

There's a toy on his belt, don't think he will shoot you

Dilencinin biri koluma girdi

One of the beggars took me by the arm

Param yok dedim küfretti

I said I don't have any money and he swore at me

Birkaç küçük çocuk dışında, kimse beni fark etmedi

No one noticed me except for a few children

Gece çok yakın, Kemancı şurdan iki adım

The night is getting near, Kemancı** is two steps away from here

Almadılar beni, bir arkadaşa bakıp çıkacaktım

They didn't let me in, I was just going to look for a friend and get out

Beyoğluna sonbahar geldi, vizyonda aşk filmleri

Autumn is here in Beyoğlu, love movies are on the air

Eller cepte, kelimeler yalın

Hands in pockets, words are plain

Yanımdan geçti Cüneyt Arkın

Cüneyt Arkın*** passed by me

Kiliseler açıktı, İstiklal yine kalabalıktı

Churches were open, Istiklal**** was crowded again

Bir zamanlar küçük İskender bana aşıktı

Once upon a time, Küçük İskender***** was in love with me

Kaldırım yok ve sağa sola bakmak

There's no pavement or no looking left or right

İzinsiz yürüyüş yasak

A walk without permission is prohibited

Köşede bir polis var ancak

There's a police around the corner but

Belinde bir oyuncak, sanma seni vuracak

There's a toy on his belt, don't think he will shoot you
