Istambul (Not Constantinople) Songtext
von Ska Cubano

Istanbul, Constantinople

Nine lives left, don′t cause disaster
Nine lives left, time is a master
Though we're walking slow, our hearts beating faster
Make our way to Istanbul

Now the crescent moon
And the stars that reach beyond
Whisper to us secrets
I can only find in Istanbul


Long time gone, the fools we have travelled with
We concentrate, each puzzle′s unraveled of
We dance with death, look to the future
For we're reaching into Istanbul

Now the crescent moon
And the stars that reach beyond
Whisper to us secrets
I can only find in Istanbul

Darling, take my hand
And try to understand
Many have failed to make it
To pass on to the gates of Istanbul
