Lyrics
Üsküdar'a gider iken aldi da bir yagmur
Üsküdar'a gider iken aldi da bir yagmur
Kâtibimin setresi uzun, etegi çamur
Kâtip uykudan uyanmis, gözleri mahmur
Kâtip benim, ben kâtibin, ele karisir?
Kâtibime siter eter faltu ne güzel yarasir
Uskadara is a little town in Turkey
And in the old days, many women had male secretaries
Oh, well, that’s Turkey
Üsküdar'a gider iken bir mendil buldum
Mendilimin içine lokum doldurdum
They take a trip from Uskudara in the rain
And on the way they fall in love
He’s wearing a stiff collar
In a full dress suit
She looks at him longingly through her veil
And casually feeds him candy
Oh, those Turks
Kâtibimi arar iken yanimda buldum
Kâtip benim, ben kâtibin, el ne karisir?
Kâtibime kolali da gömlek ne güzel yarasir
Kâtibimi arar iken yanimda buldum
Kâtip benim, ben kâtibin, el ne karisir?
Kâtibime kolali da gömlek ne güzel yarasir
Lyrics translation
While going to Üsküdar aldi is also a rain
While going to Üsküdar aldi is also a rain
My clerk's set is long, her skirt is mud
The scribe woke up from sleep, his eyes wary
I'm the clerk. I'm the clerk.
Katibime siter ether faltu what a beautiful bat
Uskadara is a little town in Turkey
And in the old days, many women had male secretaries
Oh, well, that's Turkey
On my way to Üsküdar, I found a handkerchief.
I put marshmallows in my handkerchief
They take a trip from Uskudara in the rain
And on the way they fall in love
He's wearing a stiff collar
In a full dress suit
She looks at him longingly through her veil
And casually feeds him candy
Oh, those Turks
I found it with me when I was looking for my clerk.
I'm the clerk, I'm the clerk, what's the deal?
My clerk, the shirt is so good.
I found it with me when I was looking for my clerk.
I'm the clerk, I'm the clerk, what's the deal?
My clerk, the shirt is so good.
