[Куплет 1] You left your blue wool scarf Across the kitchen chair A little thread pulled loose Still hanging softly there I warmed the kettle twice And watched the window steam Your note beside the sugar bowl Was shorter than a dream [Алдынғы қайырма] If i could turn the morning back Before the wheels began I’d hold the quiet in your hands And tell you where i stand [Қайырма] Stay a little longer in the room Let the fading afternoon make room For the words we never learned to say For the small mistakes that slipped away I don’t need a promise carved in stone Just one more minute before you go home [Куплет 2] The garden gate still leans The way you left it last A robin takes the saucer Where we set the crumbs at half past I found your old blue pen Behind the telephone It writes in careful, uneven lines As if it knows i’m alone [Алдынғы қайырма] And every simple thing i touch Turns tender in my hands The cup, the coat, the open door The life i understand [Қайырма] Stay a little longer in the room Let the fading afternoon make room For the words we never learned to say For the small mistakes that slipped away I don’t need a promise carved in stone Just one more minute before you go home [Көпір] Only your name Only this chair Only the sound Of breathing air If love is leaving Let it leave slow Give me a moment To let you go [Final chorus] Stay a little longer in the room Let the fading afternoon make room For the words we finally dare to say For the gentle parts that stayed I don’t need a promise carved in stone Your quiet kindness follows me home [Аутро] The kettle cools The window clears I fold the scarf And keep you near
