Kruposays...How long until a Borat joke creeps in?
Farhad2000says...This is a traditional Uzbek song from Horzem region of Uzbekistan, usually sang at wedding ceremonies as a playful discourse between the unmarried men and women. She sings how someone would need to do more then usual to capture her heart, the poetic nature of my language means I can't really translate it word for word... as we have words in our language that combine compound English descriptions like 'burning-love-of-youthful-age'.
Feruza is from that area as well and gives the best rendition of the song I have ever heard. This made me so happy when I found it, as I remember attending many a wedding back home.
If you are curious, this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTo_Rkygqk0, is a good short movie on the history and people of Uzbekistan.
Uzbekistan, officially the Republic of Uzbekistan, is a country in Central Asia, formerly of the Soviet Union. It shares borders with Kazakhstan to the west and to the north, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to the east, and Afghanistan and Turkmenistan to the south. This gives Uzbekistan a status shared only with Europe's Liechtenstein in that it is doubly landlocked, that is, it is surrounded entirely by other landlocked states. The only official language, Uzbek, is a Turkic language, but Russian continues to be widely used, a holdover from Soviet rule. The word Ozbek means Real/original/true (Oz) Leaders, Nobles (bek).

Farhad2000says...If it happens Krupo, It would at poster's own stupidity and peril. Borat laughs at the entirety of the western world due to their lack of knowledge about other cultures.
Because it's ironic that we all talk of globalization and a flatter business world yet we still might as well be living in the 1940s with the amount we know of our fellow international cultures. The E.U. understands this perfectly and seeks to implement and incorporate all the cultures of Europe as it's identity. Though even then there is a long road ahead.
Knowledge builds understanding which builds dialogue.
