In Hungary, we studied this in elementary school.

I still remember the first two lines of translation:

"Üzgüdárba ment az írnok, ment lakodalmára

Lóhalálban elő a szamárral, fölkap a hátára... :)"

Nice diggin' it up. Greetings!

I- Üsküdar’a Gider İken Aldı Da Bir Yağmur,

Kâtibimin Setresi Uzun Eteği Çamur.

Kâtip Uykudan Uyanmış Gözleri Mahmur.

Alors que j’allais à Üsküdar, il s’est mis à pleuvoir

Mon secrétaire a un long manteau, dont le bord est boueux

Ce secrétaire vient de s’éveiller ; il a les yeux rougis.

While I went to Üsküdar, it was going to rain

My secretary has a long coat with mud-stained edges

This secretary is going to awake and he is eyes red

@frenchiecocorico1 Thanks for the translations. ;)

[frenchiecocorico1]

@TURKKNCL Now I know you speak english too. It will be better to communicate with you because I don't speak a word of Turkish.

The french translation is due to François Charbonnier a researcher and a high french specialist in Islamic musics. I adapated personnaly the english translation on the french one.

As you know I like very much the french singer from sefardic origin Françoise Atlan whose voice is very clear and delicate. This allows me to discover new musical culture. Best regards.

[TURKKNCL]

@frenchiecocorico1 However, thanks. I'll put them to describtion. I like Françoise Atlan, too, particularly this performance of hers. She sings it almost accentless.

@frenchiecocorico1 in Greece, where it's also an adorable song, it goes (translating from greek) 'from a strange and far away place came a girl only 13 years old..'

Greetings to everyone and thank you.

@poppymu is actually from a foreign not a strange place

II- Kâtip Benim Ben Kâtibin El Ne Karışır,

Kâtibime Kolalı Da Gömlek Ne Güzel Yaraşır

Le secrétaire est mien, et je lui appartiens, cela regarde-t-il les gens ?

De plus, comme la chemise empesée lui va bien !

This secretary is mine and I belong to him, does it interest people?

For more, how does this starched shirt wear him well.

III- Üsküdar’a Gider İken Bir Mendil Buldum,

Mendilimin İçine Lokum Doldurdum.

Kâtibimi Arar İken Yanımda Buldum.

En allant à Üsküdar, j’ai trouvé un mouchoir,

Dans ce mouchoir, j’ai placé des loukoums,

En cherchant mon secrétaire, je l’ai trouvé près de moi.

Going to Üsküdar, I found a handkerchief

In this handkerchief I put some Turkish delights

Looking for my secretary, I found him near me.
