Stanislav Shakirov - Jumynüdyr (Юмынӱдыр) versuri traducere în engleză

Jumynüdyr

Versions: #2
1.
I don't know what I am going to do.
The flow of water can't be reversed.
Under your white wedding scarf1
you seem like a white swan.
Holding your ringed hand,
the groom leads you into a waltz.
As I wish happiness to your soul
and your family, my heart cries.
 
(chorus)
Jumynüdyr2, daughter of God,
you descended from the skies,
a vision appeared before me
for my bliss and for my sorrow.
Jumynüdyr, daughter of God,
oh, the way you smile!
But why, oh why
where you born for another?
 
2.
Oh, how you dance and sway to the tune
of wedding pipes and drums3
You're not mine, not mine!
I drink but tears for beer4,
a much too bitter treat,
for the bride is but the grief of my soul.
'bitter, bitter!'5 - so bitter indeed
is the shout I utter through my tears.
 
(chorus)
 
3.
I don't know what I am going to do.
A thought crossed my mind:
grabbing hold of you
and taking you far away.
You cast a glance over your shoulder,
as if you had felt my thought.
But you were not meant to, no,
you were not meant to be mine.
