Кайда соң син? Кайда соң син, минем алтыным?
Кайда соң син? Сүндерә алмыйм йөрәк ялкынын.
***
I sing my song, I look at the road
I look left, I look right
I can only think about you.
Where are you? Where are you, my dearest?
Where are you? Where are you, my sweetheart?
I ask the flowers, I ask the lake.
I ask the wind, I ask the desert.
Who else can I ask?
Where are you, the one I love so much?
Where are you, my beautiful?
Here on Earth – there are my friends, in the sky – stars,
In summer – there is sun, in winter – ice.
I look at the moon. But where are you?
Where are you, my smart girl?
Where are you, my pretty one?
If only I could hear your beautiful words again,
If only I could see your lovely face.
I can’t bear not to look into your blue eyes any more,
I’ll search for you for the rest of my life.
Where are you, my golden girl?
Where are you? I cannot extinguish my heart’s fire.

Пою эту песню, смотрю на дорогу.
Смотрю налево, смотрю направо.
Думаю только о тебе.
Где же ты? Где ты, моя любимая?
Где же ты? Где ты, моя дорогая?
Спрошу у цветов, спрошу у озера.
Спрошу у ветра, спрошу у пустыни.
У кого же еще спросить?
Где же ты, та, кого я так люблю?
Где же ты, моя красавица?
На земле много друзей, на небе – звезд,
Летом – солнце, зимой – лед.
Смотрю я на луну, а ты-то где?
Где же ты, моя умница?
Где же ты, моя прекрасная?
Если бы только услышать еще твои слова, и увидеть твое лицо,
Мне плохо без твоих синих глаз, я буду искать тебя всю жизнь.
Где же ты, моя золотая?
Где же ты? Пламя моего сердца не погасить.
