Echo of the Tugan
In your eyes is the sunset over the Kama, In your smile is the whisper of ancient legends. My love, you are in my heart, Like a bright image that time does not bend. Your braid is like a field of rye, In it are the steppe winds and the play of the sun. With you I forget about pain and mirages, Only you, my joy, alone and forever.
Through time and distance
In Tatar songs I hear your voice, Like an echo of bygone, beautiful years. Love, like a bird, soars upward, To you, my wondrous, bright home. Let time erase traces in the sand, And the winds carry away fragments of dreams, But in my heart I keep you far away, And see your image in the darkness of the night. And though distance separates us, My love is stronger than old walls. I remember it in my prayers, And await our meeting like the miracle of spring.

The sadness of separation
Separation is like winter's cold, squeezing my heart in a vice. I await our meeting like a miracle, and see you in the clouds.

Return, my joy, my other half, and my heart will shine again. My love is eternal, a bright lyre, it sings of only you.
