Still a small child
By Mirza Alakbar Sabir
Listen, my husband, don't annoy me! Don't repeat the word "school!"
Don't reproach the lad for swearing, wait with putting him into the corner,
You'd better give him a present and press him to your bosom.
Don't trouble him with a pencil box! He is still a small child!
Let our little son use bad language, he is still a small child!
Thank goodness we are not Armenians to educate our son (before he even opens his eyes).
Take a look at our much-praised beanpole son-in-law.
He grinded away at his lessons at school, but what can you expect from him?!
No, I will not let you teach the baby! He is still a small child!
Let our little son use bad language, he is still a small child!
