My boy with a pink hat
Soldier reading in bed
Believing is stealing

Something we'll never have

Paris, London and Rome

Hometown, such a big dome
Faces leave traces
What we believed after all

You failed at what you want to say

Your art was good enough
But you felt pride and betray


Oh, Osman Hamdi Bey
You failed at what you want to say
Your art was good enough

But you felt pride and betray

Oh, oh oh

Oh, oh oh
Oh, oh oh
Oh, oh oh
