[Куплет 1] You left your red scarf on the kitchen chair A paper list with crooked letters there The kettle sang, the morning took its time And you drew a little sun beside my line [Алдынғы қайырма] We had a train to catch by half past nine But missed it laughing underneath the sign [Қайырма] Take the long way home with me Past the orchard and the old oak tree If the day runs late, let it be There’s nowhere else i’d rather see Take the long way home with me [Куплет 2] The market man remembered what we buy Two peaches, bread, and flowers tied with twine You held them close against your woolen coat And hummed a tune you said you barely wrote [Алдынғы қайырма] The afternoon was turning honey-gold Your hand was warm, the evening wasn’t cold [Қайырма] Take the long way home with me Past the orchard and the old oak tree If the day runs late, let it be There’s nowhere else i’d rather see Take the long way home with me [Көпір] Years may fold the map and fade the road But i’ll remember every place we slowed The chipped blue gate, the sparrows on the wire Your quiet laugh beside the county fire [Қайырма] Take the long way home with me Past the orchard and the old oak tree If the day runs late, let it be There’s nowhere else i’d rather see Take the long way home with me [Аутро] Red scarf hanging by the kitchen door Two pairs of shoes beside the wooden floor The kettle sings, and morning starts anew I take the long way home with you
