Translation of the song lyrics Уйламада - Элвин Грей

Уйламада (original)

Уйлыймын, уйлыймын,
Һаман да уйлап,
Туймыймын, туймыймын.
Сулар сулышка,
Сыймыймын, сыймыймын,
Көннәрем-төнем,
Уйлыймын, уйлыймын.

Башка ярны уйлама да,
Бәхетем минем, ятны тыңлама да,
Җанымны минем, син, сызлатма да,
Син минем йөрәгемне,
Ярала, яралама…

Бирмәмен, бирмәмен,
Ятларга җаным.
Көтәмен, көтәмен,
Килер дип, тагын.
Түзәмен, түзәмен,
Бәхетем минем,
Көтәмен, көтәмен.

Башка ярны уйлама да,
Бәхетем минем, ятны тыңлама да,
Җанымны минем, син, сызлатма да,
Син минем йөрәгемне,
Ярала, яралама…

Уйламада (translation)

I brood, I brood—my thoughts are swallows, circling dusk,
Ceaselessly, my mind is a field where longing gathers dew,
I cannot drink my fill, nor taste contentment’s musk.
Waters draw breath—my chest a cove their silence passes through,
I do not fit, I do not fit, within the vessel of the day,
My nights, my days—one tapestry, unraveling and new,
And still I brood, I brood, as moonlight stains the gray.

Do not let your mind stray to another’s distant strand,
O my felicity, heed not the voices of passing guests,
Wound not my soul, I beg you—do not scorch what love has planned,
For you are the burning center—the heart in my chest,
Strike if you must—but spare me, do not let the wound expand…

I shall not yield, I shall not yield, my soul to alien hands,
My heart is not for strangers, nor my longing to command.
I wait, I wait—like branches trembling for the rain,
Believing you will come, as dawn returns to land.
I endure, I endure—the patience of autumn grain,
My happiness—
I wait, I wait, though silence crowds the lane.

Let not your mind wander to another’s distant shore,
My happiness—trust not the whispers of the world’s parade,
Do not let my soul throb with that familiar ache once more,
You are the core of my heart, the source of every shade,
Wound if you must—but spare me, let no new sorrow be made…
