Lyrics
Turkish Lyrics |
English Translation |
| Üsküdar'a gider iken aldi da bir yağmur | When going to Üsküdar, rain started |
| Katibimin setresi uzun eteği çamur | My scribes’ coats are long, his skirt is muddy |
| Katip uykudan uyanmış gözleri mahmur | The scribe has woken up from sleep, his eyes are cloudy |
| Katibime kolalı da gömlek ne güzel yaraşır | The scribe is mine, and im the scribes, hands will mix |
| Katibime kolalı da gömlek ne güzel yaraşır | How much it suits my scribe to have a starched collar |
| Üsküdar’a gider iken bir mendil buldum | On the way to Üsküdar I found a kerchief |
| Mendilimin içine lokum doldurdum | And I filled the kerchief with lokum (Turkish delight candy) |
| Ben yarimi arar iken yanımda buldum | When I looked for my helper, I found him at my side. |
| Katip benim ben katibin el ne karışır | The scribe is mine and I'm the scribes and hands will mix |
| Katibime kolalı da gömlek ne güzel yaraşır | How much it suits my scribe to have a starched collar |
