2. The Wolf and the Moon / Büre xäm ai
words – Zulya Kamalova
music – Andrew Tanner

lyrics

Büre ul aiğa uli.
Belä mikän berärse aidan aña ni kiräk,
Sorap bulmi aniñ üzennän.
Uilanam şul ser turinda.
Moñlana mikän bure?
Ällä yuqsinami büre söiğän yarin,
Sağinami tuğan cirlären,
Añli alirbizmi moni?

Büre ulap canni salqinaita,
Tiñlasañ yöräk yamansulana.
Moñlanam üzem xäm
Başimi vatam tağin şul xällär turinda.

Ällä yalgiz mikän ul?
Ällä yazmişinnan zarlana mikän ul?
Хäsräte bar ällä büreneñ dä?
Şundi sorau tua başimda.

Büredä nindi uilar?
Üzäğen özep ani aiğa ulata.
Ai ğaepleme ällä bu xälğä?
Uilanam şul ser turinda.

Bu xalättä ciñüçelar yuq,
Ani añlarğa tartu köçen ciñep
Oçarğa dir kükkä.
Başimi vatam tağin şul hällär turinda.

The wolf howls at the moon,
No one knows what he wants from it,
We can’t ask him.
I am puzzled.

Perhaps the wolf is sad
Or missing his beloved.
Or the places he comes from.
Will we ever know?

The wolf’s howling chills the soul,
If you listen your heart is disturbed.
I am affected too,
And bewildered by it.

Maybe the wolf is lonely.
Is he complaining about his destiny?
Thinking sad thoughts?
Maybe even wolves have problems.

Perhaps the wolves are howling about the longing,
The war inside that tears apart,
Perhaps the moon itself is to blame.

There are no winners in this war.
It will not stop until
We are able to rise above the Earth.
Gravity pulls us down.

Zulya and the Children of the Underground Melbourne, Australia

Zulya and The Children of the Underground perform exquisite original music inspired by Zulya’s Tatar and Russian roots. The music defies being labelled, but has been described as “Kurt Weillish, Euro-Cabaret jazz colliding with lullabies constructed to tear your heart out.” Since their formation in 2003, they have enjoyed unprecedented success throughout their native Australia and abroad. ... more
