If I remember correctly it was called the "Cimbizli siir"
Bir taraftan atom bombasi
Bir taraftan Londra konferansi
Bir elinde cimbiz
Bir elinde ayna
Umurunda mi dunya.
Translation:
On one hand you have the atomic bomb
On the other the London Conferance
In one hand she holds tweezers
In the other a mirror
Does she have a care, of the world?
Iyi geceler, tatli ruyalar
it is my fav. coz it is dedicated to me..lolll ...Fahriye Abla
and sometimes Muslum
