We know that the turkish title of this song is "Uskudar" or "Uskudara giderken," to which Naftule Brandwein has added a nice extra part (see the last part of our arrangement.) The Ladino song is derived from that but probably
Naftule never heard it. There is a very amusing film called "Whose is this
song?" by a Bulgarian anthropologist named Peeva, which travels around the
Balkans finding this tune.
A lot of different cultures claim to have invented it.
it's turkish origin man!!! you should know this, it's not greek or sefarad music!! only turkish my friend!!!

I think "Terkisher" means "The Turkish" in Jiddish. Hopefully this information helps.
