I AM LISTENING TO ISTANBUL ORHAN VELİ KANIK (1080p) I am listening to Istanbul, my eyes are closed First a light wind blows; Slowly swaying The leaves on the trees; Far, far away, The water carriers' never-ending bells I am listening to Istanbul, my eyes are closed. I am listening to Istanbul, my eyes are closed; Birds pass by, then; From on high, in flocks, screaming. Nets are being pulled in the fisheries; A woman's feet touch the water; I am listening to Istanbul, my eyes are closed. I am listening to Istanbul, my eyes are closed; Cool, cool Grand Bazaar Chirping Mahmutpaşa Courtyards full of pigeons The sounds of hammering come from the docks The smell of sweat in the beautiful spring wind; I am listening to Istanbul, my eyes are closed. I am listening to Istanbul, my eyes are closed; The drunkenness of old worlds in my head A waterside mansion with its dimly lit boathouses; I am listening to Istanbul in the hum of the calmed south winds, my eyes are closed. I am listening to Istanbul, my eyes are closed; A slut is passing by on the sidewalk; Curses, songs, folk songs, badmouthing. Something falls from her hand to the ground; It must be a rose; I am listening to Istanbul, my eyes are closed. I am listening to Istanbul, my eyes are closed; A bird flutters at your skirts; I know whether your forehead is hot or not; I know whether your lips are wet or not; A white moon rises behind the pistachios I can tell from the beat of your heart; I am listening to Istanbul.
