| SULEYMAN: |
Bay, I just came up with it on my own. |
| SULTAN BAY: |
Ìàó your clever head
always be safe and sound! |
| Suddenly
Suleyman sees Gulchohra and looks at her attentively |
| SULEYMAN: |
Well, is she Gulchohra? |
| ASKAR: |
Yes, she is. |
| SULEYMAN: |
But the girl I saw didn’t look like her. |
| SULTAN BAY: |
Probably you must have seen Asya. |
| SULEYMAN: |
Who is Asya? |
| SULTAN BAY: |
She is my niece. |
| SULEYMAN: |
(he is glad): Is she? Oh, if it’s so why must
I be à bachelor? Give her to me and I’ll also plan à wedding! |
| SULTAN BAY: |
Is it your true word? |
| SULEYMAN: |
Certainly! |
| SULTAN BAY: |
I give her to you. |
| ÀLL: |
Let God give his
blessings! How good is everything! |
| SULEYMAN: |
(aside) See, the fortune of à faithful and
brave friend should be so! |
Asya, Telli and Vali enter at the moment. |
| Vali
and Telli look at each other. Vali sighs deeply |
| |
À bala, why do you sigh so deeply?
What's your grief? |
| ASKAR: |
Don’t you know? I marry Gulchohra, you marry Asya to
Suleyman and you marry my Aunt. Now give Telli to Vali... |
| ALL PEOPLE: |
That's right. |
| SULEYMAN: |
(to Vali) I said to you, Vali, be ready! |
| SULTAN BAY: |
Ay giz, Telli, will you marry Vali? |
| TELLI: |
(boldly) Yes, I will. |
| SULTAN BAY: |
Vali, will you
marry Telli? |
| Vali is shy, suddenly hå says |
| VALI: |
Yes, I will. |
| ALL PEOPLE: |
Let God give his blessings! |
| SULTAN BAY: |
Well, balam, when shall we begin our wedding? |
| ALL PEOPLE: |
Right away today! |
| SULTAN BAY: |
Then let's start!
All take your match! |
They dance in pairs
Àt first they dance
slowly by music but when the òèsiñ is faster they also dance quicker till the curtain falls.
