Here is a soing that Dalaras sing which is one of my favourites and hasa nice theme:

Μες του Βοσπόρου τα στενά

Μες του Βοσπόρου τα στενά
ο Γιάννης κλαίει τα δειλινά
και ο μεμέτης πλάι του
πίνει και τραγουδάει του

Τούρκος εγώ κι εσύ Ρωμιός
κι εγώ λαός κι εσύ λαός
εσύ Χριστό κι εγώ Αλλάχ
όμως κι οι δυο μας αχ και βαχ

Με λίγη αγάπη και κρασί
μεθάω κι εγώ μεθάς κι εσύ
πιες λίγο από το τάσι μου
αδέρφι και καρντάσι μου

Τούρκος εγώ κι εσύ Ρωμιός
κι εγώ λαός κι εσύ λαός
εσύ Χριστό κι εγώ Αλλάχ
όμως κι οι δυο μας αχ και βαχ


In the narrow Bosporos

In the narrow Bosporos
Yanni cries to the sunset
and Mehmet comes by
drinks and sings to himself

I am a Turk, you are a Greek
and I am people and you are people
You are Christ and I am Allah
however we are two ah and bah.

With a little bit of love and wine
I become drunk and you become drunk.
Drink a little from my cup
my Aderfi ("brother" in Greek) and kardasi ("brother" in Turkish)

I am a Turk, you are a Greek
and I am people and you are people
You are Christ and I am Allah
however we are two ah and bah.

[Maria28]

Good song. Dallaras is one my favorites.

Sounds a bit funny in English though
