Hodja Nasreddin

We sat on the bench at the beach.
You fed me poppy seed pancakes.
I was wearing red shirt, you had yellow.
We told each other stories about Nasreddin Hodja.
..."You believed the pot
can have babies, why you don't believe it died?" -
you made me laugh so loud.
  You were laughing when I told you how he ate all the bread with honey,
"If I eat too much honey, who's gonna have heartattack you or me?"

You said: "If you eat too much pancakes
who's gonna have heartattack - you or me?"

The sun was shining so bright, people passed by us,
looking at us. We were so happy.
I asked if they still would be making poppy seed pancakes
in 30 years, because I want to come here
when we're old and do the same.

You said you'll make these pancakes for me then.
I'll be 60, in this age heartattack will not be a joke anymore :)
