Lyrics:
A hundred days, along the way, in the caravan,
Another dune, lies ahead
Another dune, wherever you look
There's sand everywhere!
The wind was blowing, angry with strength,
The scorching heat, driving me crazy
And everyone, was dreaming, a sip of water!
But God was deaf, the wind blowing
And he was as dry, as a saxaul
And only in dreams, ringing like laughter, water flowed!
Where to escape, where to turn away,
Scorching heat, along the whole way
It goes on forever, no stop in sight, always, always!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
Where no rivers flow, death is at hand,
But man, he did endure
Dry sands, and dunes, an evil vice
Dashing power!
After all, these are all his ways,
And he wanted to walk through them,
And don't lower heads, and don't depart!
And the salt pud, was eaten here,
The work was hard, but the garden blossomed,
When water flows, before me, emitting like laughter!
And the oppression of sand, like any oppression
Will go on deep, for years to come,
Victory awaits, the one who is brave, always, always!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
This is Kara-Kara-Kara-
Kara-Kara-Kara-Kum!
