      In 31 years I never heard anybody calling it Constantinopole in Romania

      No one calls it Tsarigrad in Russia. It’s “Stambul” in Russian

      The ironic part is that it got the name Istanbul because locals would just call it „i Polis“ (the city). The name Istanbul comes from a corruption of the Greek sentence „is tin Polin“ (to the city)

      Istanbul was Constantinople

      Now it’s Istanbul, not Constantinople

      Been a long time gone, Constantinople

      Now it’s Turkish delight on a moonlit night

      Every gal in Constantinople

      Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople

      So if you’ve a date in Constantinople

      She’ll be waiting in Istanbul

      Even old New York

      Was once New Amsterdam

      Why they changed it, I can’t say

      People just liked it better that way

      So take me back to Constantinople

      No, you can’t go back to Constantinople

      Why did Constantinople get the works?

      Old Hebrew texts call it „Kushta“, still see it sometimes

      Constantinople was shortened to „Costa“ and when you write it in Hebrew it can be read as „Kushta“, which means „Truth“ in Aramaic
