Lyrics:

Ueskuedar'a gider iken aldi da bir yagmur 2x
KAtibimin setresi uzun, etegi camur 2x
KAtip uykudan uyanmis, goezleri mahmur 2x
KAtip benim, ben kAtibin, ele karisir?
KAtibime siter eter faltu ne guezel yarasir

Uskadara is a little town in Turkey
And in the old days, many women had male secretaries
Oh, well, that's Turkey!

Ueskuedar'a gider iken bir mendil buldum 2x
Mendilimin icine lokum doldurdum 2x

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!

KAtibimi arar iken yanimda buldum 2x
KAtip benim, ben kAtibin, el ne karisir?
KAtibime kolali da goemlek ne guezel yarasir

KAtibimi arar iken yanimda buldum 2x
KAtip benim, ben kAtibin, el ne karisir?
KAtibime kolali da goemlek ne guezel yarasir 2x
