Lyrics Eartha Kitt – Uska Dara (A Turkish Tale)

Text:

Üsküdar’a gider iken aldi da bir yagmur
Üsküdar’a gider iken aldi da bir yagmur
Kâtibimin setresi uzun, etegi çamur
x2

Kâtip uykudan uyanmis, gözleri mahmur
x2
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
x2
Mendilimin içine lokum doldurdum
x2

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
x2
Kâtip benim, ben kâtibin, el ne karisir?
Kâtibime kolali da gömlek ne güzel yarasir
