Letra Original:
Azerbaijan love song
Apart from a passage in Russian which likens love to a stove, the words of this song are in the dialect of the Soviet Asian Republic of Azerbaijan. They were taken down syllable by syllable from a scratched 78rpm disc by the composer’s former wife and distinguished interpreter Cathy Berberian, who knew not a word of the language, and they have so far defied translation
Tradução para Português:
Canção de amor do Arzebeijão
Transcrição meramente fonética de uma canção no dialecto do Arzebeijão, efectuada por Cathy Berberian sem que a intérprete conhecesse qualquer palavra do dialecto
