Ural Batyr’s Homay Bashkir Lyrics English Translation
Sasha Tatiana Arriada Gil writes that roots are withering and the soul fades, calling the sacred bird Homay for guidance. She mentions that Bashkir girls shine as stars of Homay, bearing the spirit of victory.
Tamyrlarym Minen KorayMy roots are withering away,
Yenem De Kanym Da KorayMy soul and my blood are fading too,
Borongo Heter KorayAncient memories are drying up,
Kem Bula Ul HomayJust who is she, that ‘Homay’ ‘sacred bird of grace’?
Homay’yn Esese Le KoyashHomay’s drink is the sunlight itself,
Yenshishmele IndergendeWhen she brings down the ‘Yenshishme’ ‘fountain of life’,
Atahy Unyn SamrauHer father is the sky deity ‘Samrau’,
Yakshyga KundergenWho’s guided her toward everything that’s good.
Akbuzat Ta Almas KylysWith ‘Akbuzat’ ‘divine winged horse’ and the diamond sword,
Haklar Bulgan Da Tik HomayOnly Homay stood as our protector,
Yenshishmege Le YuldyAnd the path to the fountain of life,
Belgen De Tik HomayWas known only by Homay herself.
