Ekaterina Shelehova, Artun Miskciyan - Бұлбұл (Nightingale)- Л.Хамиди

In 1945, Khazakh composer Latif Khamidi wrote music for the “Songs of Abai” film and composed the “Bulbul” (Nightingale) song. This song-romance ended up becoming one of the most popular works of the composer. One day Artun and I were having a Skype call, brainstorming ideas to create something unique together. I remembered a song I had listened to as a child with my father, and I remember it being one of his favorite childhood songs. I shared it with Artun, and we both got inspired to create a version of our own. It was originally written for orchestra and voice, but thanks to Artun’s brilliance, he created a piano arrangement for this incredible work. We hope you like it as much as we enjoyed performing it! Lyrics: Айлы түн, айнадайын ашық аспан, Бақыттың жұлдызындай жымың қаққан. Секілді не бар тәтті бұл дүниеде, Жарасқан екі жасқа махаббаттан. А! Десе бұлбұл бақшадан, Жүрекке болсын деп дауа. Қамықпа, сұлу қалқажан, Бақытың әлі алдыңда. А-ха-ха-ха-ха! Деп сайрайды ол маған. Сайрайды бұлбұл әнін тал басында, Айтқандай тәтті сырын жолдасына. Дариға, төбем көкке жетер еді, Болса егер жалғыз-ақ тең сол қасымда. Translation: Moonlit night, mirror-clear sky, You are shining like a star of happiness. What is so sweet in this world? For two years of love. Ah! And the nightingale from the garden, Pray for the heart. Don’t be afraid, beautiful shield, Happiness is still ahead of you. Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha! He sings to me. The nightingale sings in the willow tree, A sweet secret to his friend. Darya, my ceiling would reach the sky, If so, I am the only one.
