Sahyðlar
Ërtia turup üvdian èychtym, Biezdi kiezmia oramlarda, Suv kyryjha diejin kieldim Bijik tavnyn tabanynda.
Kimgia ajtym sahyðymny, Tiuviul-mia bu tolhunlarha, Nie jel siuriadir alarny Astry jyrach kyryjlarha.
Dreams
Early in the morning I left the house, I was bored of strolling along the streets. And I came up to the shore
At the foot of a big mountain. To whom could I tell my thoughts, If not to those waves That are driven by the winds To far away lands.
