mastika mastika

[m.t]

hello,

i am looking for a song i heared when i was in turkey, it's called mastika but i can't find the right one anywhere. i only find a slow one but the one i heared was fast.

does someone know which song i mean and can give me the name of the artist, lyric and translation?

hope i don't ask too much

Do you mean this song??It is a gypsy tune.

ooooo mastika mastika
ooooo şişe dolu mastika
ooooo mastika mastika
ooooo cigarası malbora

alayım kızıma bir kutu boya
boyasın kendini boydan boya

ooooo mastika mastika
ooooo şişe dolu mastika
ooooo mastika mastika
ooooo cigarası malbora

bir elinde cımbız, bir elinde ayna
daha onüçünde bakın hele siz şuna

ooooo mastika mastika
ooooo şişee dolu mastika
ooooo mastika mastika
ooooo cigarası malbora

[Tahira]

Hi m.t.

yes, this is the song i mean.
i think it could also be in greek, i'd learned it is a song about to 2 friends at the border from greece and turkey drinking mastika
but i am looking for a version of this song, it is modern and a little faster.

anyway can somebody translate this song for me?
and thnx for the help
