Istanbul
Magazin · Other Songs - Magazin
Azija, doziva me dalek glas
noc je puna sna
leptira, dukata, Istanbul
Istanbul, neke cudne avlije
mjesec je sad na vrhu dzamije
a ja bih ko na svoj
na prozor dosla tvoj, gdje li je
Ref.
Nema mi, nema mi drazeg do tebe
momka do tebe
nema mi, nema mi mira bez tebe
cujes li, cujes li
hej, hej, takni me, zlato, probudi me
Istanbul, gore suncem planule
srce mi klapa kao nanule
od zlata dimije
mi nisu milije od tebe
Istanbul, ispod moga cilima
cijeli dan nosi me na krilima
o, skriva li te dan,
il' sve je samo san, samo sam
Ref.
