Sing, Tar

 (Tar is traditional musical instrument of Azerbaijan)

Sing, Tar, sing, Tar, sing!
Verses of beauty go dancing around,
Sing-, Tar, sing, Tar, sing!
Dew on my soul is each sweet ringing sound.
Sing, Tar, sing, Tar, sing!
Who can forget you who once heard you sing?
Grief of the people, the tears of their heart—
This is their music, their fiery art.

Poem by: Mikail Mushviq
