Translation Poor man's song A poor man has troubles Wherever he wanders, he is ordered to work A rich man gets admiration Wherever he goes, he is well-respected Even if he worked, they say he did not He is called fat-bellied and lazy Even if he saw, they say he did not He is called bad-tempered and lazy If only the poor, weary, and lonesome, Had yearling foals and colts If only there was a log for rafting Over the Chaaty and Yenisei River If only my sorrowful self Had flour and had grain If only there was a boat for rafting Over the Khemchik and Yenisei River 29. A rich man gets admiration Wherever he goes, he is well-respected A poor man has troubles Wherever he wanders, he is ordered to work 1. If only I, sorrowful child, Had flour and had grain If only there was a log for rafting Over the Khemchik and Chadaana River If only I, poor weary child, Had one bowl of grain If only there was a log for rafting Over the Chaaty and Yenisei River

Turkish Translation Yoksul Kişi Yoksul kişi yorulandır, Yürüdüğü yerde buyrulandır. Varlı kişi mağrurdur, Vardığı yerde kabarandır. İş kılsa da kıldı demez, Karnı ulu, yağlı derler. Görseler de gördü demez, Kabalığı ulu, yağlı derler. Yoksul yorgun yalnız, tek başına Taylar ile atlar olsa, Çağatı ile Ulu Kem'i Salınıp gezer kavak olsa. Ne edeyim ben bir başıma, Kayıntı ile ekmek olsa Kemçik ile Ulu Kemi, Salınıp gezer gemi olsa.
