About:
A track for all diaspora Adiğe about tracing our familial histories and calling our ancestors for guidance after generations of displacement.
In it, I sing both Eastern and Western dialects (Kabardey and Ch'emirgoy) of our language, Adiğebze, to stress our unity and our will to keep our language alive. Yes, I embedded it into a folk pop song with English lyrics to hopefully spread the message wider :) Share it widely with your music lover friends

Lyrics:
I move in a memory zone
By way of a riverbed
The tumbling rocks
Have changed its course
Some spots turned into sand

I came upon a wise crone
Deep her roots and high her head
Her lonely voice
Fighting the noise
Ears cupped over with their hands

Orire orire oriraa
Orire orire oriraa
Hay ride ride horiraa

I cut myself on a sliver of hope
Just one drop more of our blood shed
Our people displaced
Our places erased
Noone to hear our demand

Iэзэхэм сарипхъу
Iэзэхэмрэ сипхъоу

си тхыдэр сэ сытхэнущ
си тхыдэр сотхэноу
си лъапэ куууэ
си лъапсэр кууоу

си пхъэщъхьак1э бгъуэ
си чъыгщхьапэ быхъоу
си къэлэм хьэзыр

апхуэдэ, псалъэрэ псалъэрэ хэкум сыкъэгъэзэжын
фэдэу, гущыI гущыIэу си хэкум сыгъэзэжьы

апхуэдэ, си дыркъуэ мэкIыж
фэдэу, си уIагъэ кIыжьы

Orire orire oriraa
Orire orire oriraa
Hay ride ride horiraa
