Istanbul uyurken
Agricantus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Istanbul uyurken
Ona anlat beni
Kalamis aksamlarini.
Demli cailari
Köhneyi anlat
Dügümlü yollari
cikmaz sokaklari
yarin yarin diyerek
gecen zamani.
Istanbul uyurken
Dinle geceyi
Yildizlar beni anlatir sana.
Belki gelirim
Ucup rüzgarla
Ac kollarini.
Saril havaya
beni al brakma
yarin yarin diyerek
gecen zamani.
Yanlis bilmesin.
The lyrics to Istanbul uyurken by Agricantus tell a story of a person who is deeply in love and wants to be remembered even when they are not there. The song opens up with the singer asking the listener to talk about them to Istanbul while it's sleeping. They then ask them to describe the evenings in Kalamis, a district in Istanbul, and how they loved it. The next verse talks about the winding roads and dead-end streets, which the singer used to walk through while talking about tomorrow, and how time passed by.
In the chorus, the singer asks the listener to listen to the night while Istanbul is sleeping and how the stars will describe everything about them. They then say that they might come back and ask their beloved to open their arms and hold them. The last verse repeats the same message about not letting go of them while staying hopeful about tomorrow.
The song's lyrics are quite emotional and depict the feeling of love and longing. Istanbul is used as the setting, but the song's theme is relatable to anyone who has been in love.
