Aghidel



"The Aghidel"

There are meadows green all along
The Aghidel river,
Soft and beautiful is the grass in the meadows.
Flow quiet the waters of the Aghidel,
Fresh is the water, fragrant is the air,
Generous both they are to the mind and body.
Flow quiet the waters of the Aghidel,
Oh, quiet they flow by the meadows.
All aglow is the blooming black-cherry
Where the nightingale sings,
Flow quiet the waters of the Aghidel,
All aflow is the water below the black-cherry
Where the nightingale sings.
If you tasted but once the Aghidel waters,
No evil thought will enter your mind.
Flow quiet the waters of the Aghidel,
Oh, quiet thew flow by the meadows.
Quiet are the waters of the Aghidel river,
Fine is the sand by the Aghidel river.
Tuneful and sweet are the maidens' voices,
The voices of maidens who live by the river.
Flow quiet the waters of the Aghidel,
Oh, quiet they flow by the meadows.

Ah, nice to see these images and words and listen to the sweet melodies from the land where the Aghidel flows!

I'm all set to take a trip with you to Bashkortostan! Thanks, dear Miguel! :)
