-
The road is to man,
as the hearth is to woman.
And so my ancient clan does not wither,
A son is born - I pray and entreat.
The arrow flies, as long as man is alive.
Smoke is to man, as fire is to woman.
And so my steed does not stumble in battle
I must know that a flame warms the yurta,
Like the banner hung by my forefathers.
In the man lies the spirit, in the woman, the soul.
The trembling blade of grass contains the sky.
Without a hearth, without a son, without my beloved,
I am scattered above the plain, like a solitary sandstorm.
--Bayar Dagarov
