1976 Lyrics

Istanbul
...denn schön nach...
Istanbul
...doch weit und...
Ich sah nur Deine braunen...
...denn schön nach...
Istanbul
...doch weit und...

[2x]
Da sah ich Deine braunen Augen

Istanbul
...denn schön nach...
Istanbul
...doch weit und...
Ich sah nur Deine braunen...
...denn schön nach...
Istanbul
...doch weit und...

Da sah ich Deine braunen Augen
Ich sah nur Deine braunen Augen

These lyrics are probably wrong, "1976" is a mix between two older songs -- Sophy's "Un amor original" and Cora's "Istanbul", and the lyrics to "Istanbul" are in German. As for the meaning... I don't think it has a whole lot of that, maybe it's got some meaning to Ramble Krohn (RJD2).

submitted correct lyrics, hope this isn't a foul of some sort. anyways. here's the translation in english folks.

Istanbul because after Istanbul but this is far and I just saw your brown Because after Istanbul
but this is far and

And I saw your brown eyes

And I saw your brown eyes

Istanbul because after Istanbul but this is far and I just saw your brown Because after Istanbul but this is far and

And I saw your brown eyes I saw only your brown eyes

Incomplete phrases due to sampling, as eddy089 said, it probably means something to RJD2.

In 1976, Istanbul, Turkey, there was a major terrorist attack in which 4 were killed and 20 were wounded by Japanese Red Army terrorists in an attack at Istanbul airport.

Roughly translated into English, through the samples, I think this song about a person thinking of traveling to Istanbul, one of the most beautiful cities in the world in order to see it's beauty. Istanbul happens to be very far from this person so they person would rather look into the beautiful brown eyes of a significant other. It is said that they eyes are the windows to the soul.

It's about admiring the beauty of another human to a point where it's like you're staring into their soul. To kill another human is a terrible thing, and unfortunately Terrorism uses the killing of other humans as a scare tactic to promote their agenda. Very sad that terrorism is real, but no matter what the human soul/spirit will never die!

Excuse my hippie rant, very good song.
