They sold the cow for debt, *Yar, yar.* In winter they gave [it up] to the *burnuz*, *Yar, yar.* I have fallen [to wandering] from mountain to mountain Like one gone mad. They hung the *burnuz* from the wall, *Yar, yar.* The debt-bond fell upon our neck. *Yar, yar.* I have fallen [to wandering] from mountain to mountain Like one gone mad. The snow came, it covered the ground, My father-in-law died in debt. I [am] little, my beloved is little, Anxiety [and] care have swept us away. My heart is filled with fire, Free me, if you can; Else, tomorrow from this grief I shall die without a knife.
