Go, go

A gazelle gives birth on the top of the mountains, a gazelle gives birth.
A hunter injures the baby gazelle, dear, a hunter injures it.
If I separate from my love, foe will avenge
I wish I were a tree and stood at the side of the road as shade for you.

I'll stand on your way with my umbrella in hand,
I'll bend my neck as a baby gazelle,
If you want me to fly, I'll fly and be your nightingale,
If you say bloom, I'll blossom and be your May flower!
Go, go and I'll follow you.
Take me along with you by your handkerchief.
Go, go and I'll follow you.
Take me along with you by your handkerchief.

Lies have short legs.
There is a saying that the steel breaks but won't bend.
In our country the steel bends.
And lies have long legs.

My motherland is picturesque, its gardens and forests
Baby, gardens and forests.
My love's heart is like a glass, baby, like glass.
It's hard to live away from her, it's hard.
It's a pomegranate, baby, it stayed because you didn't touch it,
I won't touch it because it's a memory.

I risk everything for the sake of living,
My body is collapsing, though I'm myself a bodyguard,
In reality, my aim is "the shirvan" [money] not a body,
And the one I'm guarding is a thief, good for nothing, not a "khan".

Go, go and I'll follow you.
Take me along with you by your handkerchief.
Go, go and I'll follow you.
Take me along with you by your handkerchief.

A hunter injures a baby gazelle, dear, a hunter injures it.

There is fear in the nation's soul and blood,
There is the fear of hunger in the nation's face,
The lambs are melting like a candle from fear
The wolves attack the lambs.

Go, go and I'll follow you.
Take me along with you by your handkerchief.
Go, go and I'll follow you.
Take me along with you by your handkerchief.
(Repeat section four times).
