Pakistan


Salah BİRSEL

PAKİSTAN

Crack crack crack Güzin means whisky on the rocks
If you don't know it I know it
I like drinking
But Güzin also I like when she's warm
In June I gather all the brunettes
But whence comes this idea now out of the blue
When Güzin is there June

In the evening I greet the Güzins
100 thousand Güzins and just as many lips
300 lips waiting to be kissed
I paint the flowers in the dark color of brunettes
I also paint Üsküdar, if there is crowd enough
But whence comes this idea now out of the blue
When Güzin is there Üsküdar

Crack crack crack I praise all the brunettes
I also praise Güzin if she's dark
Güzin means festivities
If you don't believe I do
I also like Pakistan
But whence comes this idea now out of the blue
When Güzin is there Pakistan
