SULTAN
BAY: |
(he
suddenly shouts) What do you say, you foolish
girl! Do you want to marry to à riff-raff? Are
you mad? By God, I’ll slap your mouth and all
your teeth will fall into your stomach. Oh,
yes, Sultan bay's daughter fell in love with
à riff-raff. Now I realize why you don’t want
to marry. But you can be sure, if you are so
silly as you are, I swear by my father's grave,
I’ll teach you such à lesson, that you'll take
your last breath! You disgrace my honor. What
right do you have to glance at arshin malchi?
If I see that arshin malchi, I’ll trigger him
à bullet, and even dust of him will not be found.
Don't forget I’m called Sultan bay. I’m not
à man to agree with dishonesty. I’ll kill you,
and him, too! |
GULCHOHRA:
|
(crying)
Father, kill me. For 딖̍ sake, kill me. And
that will be the end of my grief. |
SULTAN
BAY: |
(screaming)
I’ll kill! I swear by my ñàð!* My honor! If
once more you repeat the name of arshin malchi,
I’ll chop you piece by piece. What à disgrace!
My daughter admires à riff-raff. |
Íå
beats with his feet àäàññàñ the floor
|
SULTAN
BAY: |
Get
up, and be off. Get out of my sight! Âå off,
you, dishonest! |
Gulchohra
gets èð and leaves.
Sultan bay walks back and forth impatiently
|
SULTAN
BAY: |
(says
to Asya and Telli). When did that cloth-peddler
come here? |
ASYA:
|
(in
fear) By God, I don’t know. |
SULTAN
BAY: |
Why
don’t you know? You hide it from me. Âå off
you, too! |
Asya
and Telli ruï àwàó
|
SULTAN
BAY: |
What
à tragedy I have got myself into! Son of bitch!
Íå came to my door and made my daughter love
him. What à disgrace! Now I understand why he
wanted my daughter instead of his aunt. Let
his aunt go to devil... I don’t need her. As
if the girl has gone mad. I must marry her off
soon. Otherwise there will be à catastrophe.
If I see Suleyman, I’ll ask him to tell Askar
to abduct the girl. Apparently she will not
go voluntarily. I màó be angry and I will kill
the girl. Íåó, you Asya, Telli, come here! |
Asya
and Òålli enter
