“Kabutar”

Artist: Yosamin Davlatova. Genre: Contemporary Tajik. Rough translation: “The beauty of your face, has me contemplating and pondering about my existence and about reality. With that sweet glance at the beginning, you basically hunted me down. Hold my hand, carry me forward, I’m still dazed by the beauty of your face. And I’m exhausted, so I’ve placed all my hope in life into those beautiful eyes of yours. You resemble either a beautiful bird, or a wide-eyed angel or blue-eyed hori. Whichever one you are, take me to your garden. Let’s become one in both heart and mind. And then, let’s turn the unity and mutual understanding into a love story. And with one laugh, let’s cancel all the grief, pain, and suffering that comes from love.”
