Music!

Laughing, laughing, and laughing again
Now war is not scary anymore
They burn their uniforms in the fire at night
Burn down the throat until they're full
Drum music until dawn
The soldier danced all night
But he saw in the crowd that Dark Lady
He saw She was looking for him and he got scared.

Save me, save me, oh great king
Let me escape, escape from here
At the procession She was close to me
And She looked at me with malice.
Give him, give him an animal
Son of the thunder and worthy of a king
Hurry, hurry so that he may escape
Give him the fastest beast there is!

Run horse, run I beg you
I'll lead you all the way to Samarkand
Don't stop, fly I beg you
Run like the wind and I will be saved
Chop chop horse, chop chop!

Rivers, then fields, then purple was sunrise
White the towers he touched in the end
But there was that Dark Lady at the door
Tired of running he lowered his head:
You were among the people at the capital
I know you were looking at me with malice
I've escaped among crickets and cicadas
I've run away but I find you here!

You're wrong, you're mistaken, you're wrong soldier
I wasn't looking at you with malice
It was just a surprised look
What were you doing the day before yesterday there?
I was expecting you here in Samarkand by today
You were so far away only two days ago
I was afraid that in order to listen to the marching band
You wouldn't make it here in time!

Samarkand is not so far away afterall
Run horse, run over there
I sang together with you all night long
Run like the wind and we will get there
Chop chop horse, chop chop!
