| SULEYMAN: |
Now, you see, I’m clever, am I not? |
| ASKAR: |
You are clever, brother. Really you are clever. I’ll
do what you say, by Gîd! |
| JAHAN: |
Håó, Suleyman, why don’t you marry? You are growing old. |
| SULEYMAN: |
I’ll marry, too, aunt. There is such à thought in my
mind, too. At first let’s marry Askar. It seems to me,
he is ø à hurry and then I’ll marry... (Hå suddenly
asks the aunt) well, aunt, and what do you think?
|
| JAHAN: |
May I sacrifice myself for you, I think nothing. What
must I think? |
| SULEYMAN: |
No, aunt, that’s enough for you to live as a widow. Let’s
marry you off to some human being and let him pray for
us to God. |
| JAHAN: |
May I sacrifice myself for you, is my age suitable for
marriage? |
| SULEYMAN: |
What? Are you too young? Of course, it’s high time for
you! Is it so or not, oh people? Of course, it’s so. |
| Hå turns to Vali |
| SULEYMAN: |
Vali, you too,
be ready. |
| Vali bends his head shyly |
| SULEYMAN: |
Oh, yes, Askar, you are lost in thoughts. |
| ASKAR: |
By God, I’ll become an arshin malchi tomorrow |
| SULEYMAN: |
You are right, may God help you achieve your desire!
So wish the same to us! Is it so or not, aunt? |
| JAHAN: |
May I sacrifice myself for you, of course it’s so. |
| SULEYMAN: |
Is it so, or not, Vali? |
| VALI: |
Yes, bay, you are right. |
| SULEYMAN: |
Well, if it’s so, listen! |
Hå sings
 |
| SULEYMAN: |
Learn this finesse my friend find
à wife and plan à wedding. (2)
Know that such
advantage will never be found, oh my friend. (2)
But listen, don’t forget, don’t forget, remember us.
Don’t forget when you see, when you see lovely beauties. |

But listen don’t
forget, don’t forget, remember us.
Don’t forget when you see, when you see lovely beauties. |
