Turkmenialainen Tyttöystävä [English translation]

As bachelor I of course

Aswered to a newspaper ad

It’s gonna be a long journey

When you have to travel far

If you want to find yourself a love one

And as soon as Turkeminstan can be found on the map

I navigate to you with stars as compass.

My own Ljeni, Ljeni, Ljeni

Incredibly beautiful bride

So sweet Ljeni, Little Saraseni

My own miss Turkmenistan

On the road map I measured distances

I marked the route with a line

Viborg then St. Petersburg, Moscow

And next Voldograd and from there

Via Aral lake to Azabadh

And when wilderness sceneries change to deserts

I can probably switch the cross-country vehicle to a camel

My own Ljeni, Ljeni, Ljeni

Incredibly beautiful bride

So sweet Ljeni, Little Saraseni

My own miss Turkmenistan

You can easily get lost when fatigued

You start to see visions

When you have to make a long journey

And you have to travel far

Maybe I roam in the desert in vain

Lost but still believing that the twinkling of stars

Is only the reflection of your eyes.
