Taralilalalai Country: Uzbekistan (Bukhara) Language: Uzbek Lyrics: Taralilalalai, taralilalalai, taralilalalai, yar eh. More info: From the Smithsonian Folkways recording, Bukhara: Musical Crossroads of Asia. Dartmouth music professor Theodore Levin, who produced this collection, also wrote The Hundred Thousand Fools of God: Musical Travels in Central Asia (and Queens, New York), which includes a translation of this song. “Taralilalalai" is kind of like “la la la." “Yar eh" means “my dear."
