So Istanbul (not constanople) was first sang by The Four Lads in the fiftys, and it's a little slower, but if you speed it up by 1.25 by using three dots in top corner it sounds almost the exact same

This song was originally performed by the Four Lads in 1953, the 500th anniversary of the Ottoman attack and siege of Constantinople from the East Roman Byzantines.
@Rvyevumlyg 2 ай бұрын
29 May 1953 is the date of golden age of İstanbul started. Ayasofya was reborn with Ottoman Empire. There were numerous attacks FROM WESTERN to İstanbul and its monumental buildings in the reign of Romans. So they were about to collapse. With Ottoman reign, Ayasofya and İstanbul came back to life. Everything with artistic value was carefully repaired and preserved by Fatih Sultan Mehmet, the Turkish Emperor. Even the folks of Romans were waiting for the New ruler.
