- Ey, Aslan, közüŋ jana turğanlay, jahanimni içine taşayıb tursaŋ, ne zawuq eterikse?.. Ayhay, biz kimni arbasına minsek, anı jırın jırlap tebireyalmaybız, – dedi Musa."Hey, Aslan, with your eyes still burning, what pleasure will you get from hiding away inside hell?.. Well, we can't just start singing the song of whoever's cart we have climbed into," said Musa.
