My love sounds
out like à ney, if it could
see my nice beloved
Music
My love sounds
out like à ney, if it could
see my nice beloved.
The sounding of
ney will not be ceased, if is not found my beloved. (2)
Music
Oh come and help
me my fortune, my soul is in disarray.
Music
Oh come and help
me my fortune, my soul is in disarray.
Had I such à lovely lady, grief would be ceased
forever.
Music
The sounding of
ney will not be ceased, if is not found my nice beloved.

| JAHAN: |
May I sacrifice myself for you
Askar, what has happened? Why do you sing so sadly? When
one listens to your singing his heart breaks.
|
| ASKAR: |
If you are concerned, dear aunt, it means you have à spirit! |
| JAHAN: |
I can't understand you, may I sacrifice myself for you,
say it once more, in order that I could understand. |
| ASKAR: |
I have not said such à serious word to repeat it... Look
here, aunt. Say, it shouldn’t be so. If the world comes and
passes away so, what will be the end of it? What will happen
to us? |
| JAHAN: |
May I sacrifice myself for you, God bless us, what can
happen to the world? |
| ASKAR: |
In brief, I say,
what will be the end of it? What can be the result of it?
For instance, let’s imagine we grew up and gained à perfect age. God bless us, we have riches and à great estate. But you know this
is not à satisfaction
either, and it can't calm à human being's
heart. There is à need for something
more. Àm I right or wrong? |
| JAHAN: |
May I sacrifice myself for you, surely you are right!
But I didn't entirely understand what you said. |
| ASKAR: |
My talk is obvious, dear aunt! The thing is that I glance
to the left, I glance to the right, I see that something is
missing. |
| JAHAN: |
Oh my God! If something is missing at home, send the
boy to the market to buy it. There is no problem, why do you
worry? |
| ASKAR: |
You don't understand
what I mean. I talk to you about à great thing, but you talk
to me about shopping. Frankly speaking, I’d like to know what’s
the purpose of life? I have got riches, much money. But this
owner of riches also must own one thing. On the contrary,
someone who doesn’t own wealth and riches has à flock in his
family. |
