- Qıznı miŋ jaş tiler da, biri alır degenley, sen kesiŋ sayla. Men a, jüregimi bildirmey, ketib qalama dep qorqub tura edim da, endi sözüm açıq boldu.As they say, a thousand young men may ask for a girl but one will take her — you choose for yourself. As for me, I was afraid I would go away without ever making my heart known, and now my word is out in the open.
