Albert Kuvezin and "YAT- KHA"


1. KARANGAILYG KARA HOVAA...(Dyngyldai)
(In the endless black steppe.)
A black-brown runner horse runs like lightning through the endless black steppe.    
The black hair of a beautiful girl is moving in the wind.
In the sunset light of the steppe, the black-brown running horse can run like    lightning
The black hair of a beautiful girl, moving in the wind.
   
   
2. SOLUN CHAAGAI SOVET CHURTUM.
(Beautiful Soviet Country.)
What beautiful taiga and what a beautiful Soviet country
Because socialism won there, new people appeared. 
The real life only in the strongness of peace and friendship, 
This is only possible in the successful Soviet Union.

3. KAA-KHEM.
In this valley, one side leads out to the Great Yenisei, the other to Kaa-Khem
How fine a childhood, how beautiful a place, golden when the sun shines.

4. KUU-LA KHASHTYN BAARYNDAN
If you dig a well at the foot of a mountain
Of course you will drink enough
If you propose to a beautiful girl
Be sure you take her

5. KAMGALANYR KUZHU-DAA BAR
(We have protection force.)
Yenisei river's banks are full of natural richness, our amazing country has protection force. 
Yenisei runs and kicks his banks by his waves, if an enemy invades we have a lot of power to destroy him. 
In taiga there is a lot of gold and other richness, in the north and south we have brother countries. 
In the south and north parts of taiga there are a lot of minerals and furs, -- we have the powerful USSR giving a happy life to us.

6. IRIK CHUDUK
If a rotten log isn't broken
You can build a fence
If my mother hadn't died
I would have eyes and ears

7. CHASHPY-- KHEM
(Name of a river)
The place around the river Chashpy amazes people coming there
Was it you I saw singing and playing chadagan, 
Who ran away feeling shy, when I came there by horse?
Did you pretend you didn't see me coming ?

8. KADARCHI
(Shepherd boy)
I acre for nice my sheep, Mother teaching me is good. Father and Mother will ask me:
Why are you walking around ? And I'll answer that I am looking for your horse.
Brother and his wife will ask me: Where do you go so often, to whom? 
I shall say the calf is not in its place, I went to find it.

9. CHOK-LA KIZHI YRY
How difficult to be poor, lonely man. 
If you did some work -- they say that you did nothing and you are lazy. 
It would be good to take a log or a boat to go through Yenisei river to a better place.

10. EEN KURUG KAGBAN-NA MEN
I didn't leave my place forever empty at the mouth of the Eerbek river, the Saiyr river,
my darling girlfriend stays there.

11. TOORUGTUG TAIGA
How rich is my land -- the cedar taiga is full of nuts and I never shall be angry
If my nine kinds of cattle will grow up I shall become a rich man.
11. Kargiraam
A long meditation in kargiraa kanzat style by Albert KUVEZIN.
