Lyrics from Zuhre Ebe

Soyembike ManarasiIdel-Ural March

Zuhre Ebe was a teacher of Tatar in Hailar China and loved to sing. These are taken from her personal notebook. She would write to my mother in Tatar, in Arabic Script. My mother would reply in Turkish in Latin Script. When Ebe would include a note for me, she would also write in English.
