Wedding song for Cholpon's sister

2 November 2008

Her sister married a boy from Talas. At the toi I sang the old wedding song, the kerez of the bride, and the young people filmed it on their telephones. Now my voice is in the telephones in Talas. A strange world.

Go, my bird, to the city of stone,
take the mountain wind in your sleeve.
When the city is too loud for sleeping,
open your sleeve.
