Where is my 50 dirhem pastrami? (Konyalı)
Ah, where is my 50 dirhem pastrami, pastrami?
I wouldn't let anybody prepare it (the pastrami) but my Konyalı lover.
Go on, my Konyalı lover
Go for it, baby
My lion beloved
You are deceived, they didn't let you marry me
Ah
From Kayseri, from Karaman,
From Konya, from Konya
A beautiful lover will not be deprived of the world
Go on, my Konyalı lover
Go for it, baby
My lion beloved
You are deceived, they didn't let you marry me
Ah
Where is my 50 dirhem rakı?
I keep drinking but my curiosity never goes away
Go on, my Konyalı lover
Go for it, baby
My lion beloved
You are deceived, they didn't let you marry me
Ah
I throw myself off the high minaret
I searched but couldn't find someone like me
Go on, my Konyalı lover
Go for it, baby
My lion beloved
You are deceived, they didn't let you marry me
