Boğaziçi - Turkish song (melody by Dr. Alaeddin Yavaşça, lyrics by Aka Gündüz, arranged by Josef W. Olt). Recorded unplugged live and performed by Gülay & The Ensemble on 20th February 2013 in Vienna, Austria.
translation of the lyrics:
Bosphorus, you are a meeting place of cheerful hearts.
Every hiding place becomes a marquee for the lovers.
Its moon light is pretty,
its sunshine is pleasing,
its day lights are delightful,
Bosphorus makes everyone euphoric.
While twinkling lights are dancing on the waters
seagulls are kissing each other in their hideouts
in Tarabya, in Bebek and in Üsküdar.
Its moon light is pretty...
You are the place where the hearts of lovers are merging,
Your are in the tulip,
in the hyacinth,
in the rose.
With your soul refreshing love you are in my composition.
Its moon light is pretty...
