In 1974, Fenerbahçe had won four cups only in football, and many more in other branches. In honor of this, an official team anthem was recorded. It was mainly sung by Nesrin Sipahi, but the team coach Didi along with the 1973-1974 squad was also among the singers. The anthem talks about the unmatched legendary status of Fenerbahçe, and some of its legendary players, with the line "Cihatlar, Lefterler, Canlar, Fikretler" being a reference to Cihat Arman, Lefter Küçükandonyadis, Can Bartu, Fikret Kırcan and Fikret Arıcan.

| Kalpleri fetheden renkler, Yaşa Fenerbahçe! Türkün kalbi senle atar, Yaşa Fenerbahçe! Mazinde bir tarih yatar, Yaşa Fenerbahçe! Ne mutlu seni sevene, Yaşa Fenerbahçe! Cihatlar, Lefterler, Canlar, Fikretler, Hala sevilen birer abidedirler, Hiç bir kulüpte olmayan bu dostluk, Yıllar yılı hep şampiyon olduk. Kalpleri fetheden renkler, Yaşa Fenerbahçe! Türkün kalbi senle atar Yaşa Fenerbahçe! Mazinde bir tarih yatar, Yaşa Fenerbahçe! Ne mutlu seni sevene, Yaşa Fenerbahçe! Maç yaparken sahada sarı kanaryalar, Rakip takıma krampon toplatırlar, Sıkı dur karşı defans Fener geliyor, Şut ve gol ağları deliyor. Kalpleri fetheden renkler, Yaşa Fenerbahçe! Türkün kalbi senle atar Yaşa Fenerbahçe! Mazinde bir tarih yatar, Yaşa Fenerbahçe! Ne mutlu seni sevene, Yaşa Fenerbahçe! | The colors that conquered hearts, Long shall you live, Fenerbahçe! The Turkish heart beats with you, Long shall you live, Fenerbahçe! There is such a rich history in your past, Long shall you live, Fenerbahçe! How happy the one who loves you, Long shall you live, Fenerbahçe! Cihats, Lefters, Cans, Fikrets, They are still precious, loved ones, This comradeship that does not exist in any other club, Will lead us to championship year after year. The colors that conquered hearts, Long shall you live, Fenerbahçe! The Turkish heart beats with you, Long shall you live, Fenerbahçe! There is such a rich history in your past, Long shall you live, Fenerbahçe! How happy is the one who loves you, Long shall you live, Fenerbahçe! When the Yellow Canaries are out there in the field, They absolutely humiliate the opponent team, You better hold tight, opponent defender, Fener is coming, Shoot and goal! Pierces the net. The colors that conquered hearts, Long shall you live, Fenerbahçe! The Turkish heart beats with you, Long shall you live, Fenerbahçe! There is such a rich history in your past, Long shall you live, Fenerbahçe! How happy is the one who loves you, Long shall you live, Fenerbahçe! |
