The City of Brass - S.A. Chakraborty

Nahri wants to go to....

 

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Oh Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

 

I could not help myself. That damn song always gets stuck in my head.

 

Also, forgive me if I jump back and forth between minutes and pages. 

 

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul
 
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way
 
So, Take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Oh Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks
