Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shuncha kutdim bir kelmasang,
Xafa bo'laman, xafa bo'laman.
Bir jilmayib, bir kulmasang,
Xafa bo'laman, xafa bo'laman.

Osmonimda yulduzimsan,
Ko'zda nurim, kunduzimsam.
Sen ranjisang, men o'zimdan

Xafa bo'laman, xafa bo'laman.

Yuragimni tirnar gumon,
Shubha dilni chaqar ilon.
Gar kelmasang, sendan yomon
Xafa bo'laman, xafa bo'laman.

Dildan dardim o'chirolmay,
Baxt sharobin ichirolmay,
O'zimni ham kechirolmay,
Xafa bo'laman, xafa bo'laman.

Hali izlab kelasanku,
Oshiq qalbim sezasanku,
Yana o'zing bilasanku,
Xafa bo'laman, xafa bo'laman.

Shuncha kutdim bir kelmasang,
Xafa bo'laman, xafa bo'laman.
Bir jilmayib bir kulmasang,
Xafa bo'laman, xafa bo'laman.

Shuncha kutdim bir kelmasang,
Xafa bo'laman.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Ozodbek Nazarbekov's song "Xafa bo'laman" express the pain, sadness, and vulnerability of unrequited love. The singer in the song waits for one word, one action, one signal from the person they love that would show they have reciprocal feelings. However, despite the hope and anticipation, the singer confesses that they would still be hurt and saddened if that person were to reject them. Lines such as "my heart will break into pieces," "my mind will be filled with doubt," and "even the slightest glance could lacerate my soul" illustrate the emotional turmoil and fear of rejection.

In the second half of the song, the singer admits that they cannot forget about the person they love, that their heart still longs for them, and they want to understand their feelings. The repetition of the phrase "Xafa bo'laman" at the end of each verse highlights the depth of the singer's despair and pain. It seems that even the possibility of losing the person they love is unbearable for them. The use of traditional instruments such as the dotar and doira, and the traditional Uzbek melody, enhances the emotions expressed by the singer.
