LEGEND OF THE SULTAN
She danced in front of everyone
the palace immediately went silent
and thus the sultan's heart was captured
Chorus:
Black pepper
my darkhaired sweetheart
(x2)
The sultan suddenly smiled
and raised his hand
and the whole palace
broke out into dancing immediately
Chorus...
She'll dance without stopping
until the night passes
she won't rest until the light comes up
Chorus...
The sultan suddenly smiled...
Let's go, come on Ibrahim
the sun will come up
and we'll go out dancing
take the dancing girl
and make her into a queen
it'll be a holiday for the entire kingdom!
Chorus...
The sultan suddenly smiled...
Chorus...
Oh how she captured Ibrahim's heart
(x2)

| Note: |
The original melody may be of a Turkish source. The chorus is in Turkish, even in the Greek version. It its earlier recording, its composition was credited to another rebetika songwriter, Spiros Peristeris, with the title "Mes stis Polis ta stena" (In the narrow streets of Istanbul). The song has been recorded by several Greek artists.
Thanks to Eva Broman for this information.
Sultan Ibrahim marries the girl, so the dance is also called
Agadat Eshet Hasultan - Legend of the Sultan's wife.
Thanks to Leslie (Ariela Rosen) Levy for this information and corrections. |
