Ünzile [English translation]

Ünzile, a human child

Five out of ten siblings are dead

Growing up, yet very small

And the matchmaker comes

Her teeth are like pearls

The matchmaker knows her business

My willow cries and leaves

And becomes a wife

Before reaching eight

Ünzile has become an adult

A child and a woman at the same time

At twelve she's a mother

Like a rose, scarlet and graceful

Like water, limpid and calm

Ünzile is a silent woman

Who's spilling the rain

How many sheep does Ünzile worth?

Disciplined with beatings, she asks nothing

She's scared, won't go behind

The last fence of a village

She believes that this is a margin

Where the world ends

Ünzile, a child of human

Pregnant with unknowns

The burden of her secrets

She had also put inside her belly
