Country - Kazakhstan     Player- Andy

Balausa koktemdi saghyndym,
Baladay okpendi saghyndym.
Ekeumiz alansyz gul tergen sol bir
Alkyzyl bokterdi saghyndym.

Ak karly akpandy saghyndym,
Armanday ak tandy saghyndym.
Esimnen mangilik ketpeytin, zhanym,
Sol ghazhap shakhtardy saghyndym...

Chorus:
Zhanym,
Tan samalym,
Zhalghyz sensin
Ansaghanym.
Zhanym,
Zhasyl baghym,
Asyl zharym.

Zhaydary zhazymdy saghyndym,
Akku men kazymdi saghyndym.
Esimnen mangilik ketpeytin, zhanym,
Erkeli nazyndy saghyndym.

Botaday kozindi saghyndym,
Boyzhetken kezindi saghyndym.
Esimnen shykpaytyn mangilik sol bir
Nareste sezimdi saghyndym.
I miss that green spring,
Those emotional feelings of a child.
When we were carelessly picking flowers
And I miss my affection towards you.

I miss white winter,
Those mornings full of dreams.
Eternity is passing by, my love,
I miss those wonderfull moments.

My dear,
Morning wind,
All my feelings are only for you,
My dear,
Green garden,
My precious bride.

I miss happy summer days,
Those swans in the lake.
I spend eternity with your name, my love,
I deeply miss those feelings.

I miss your beautiful eyes,
That moments of approaching manhood.
We should stay together in eternity,
I miss those feelings of love.
