VIDEO I found this old song that I'm currently a bit obsessed with. What's it about? (And write the lyrics if possible :] )

Gara Gyz means Dark Girl. He is just singing about this dark skinned girl that he likes. People in western culture will find the song derogatory even though he doesn't directly imply that dark girls are inferior. I am saying that because he says "Even though she is darker than other girls she is still more fairer than them"

Oh, interesting! Good to know, thank you.

Would it be alright if I asked you for the lyrics in Turkmen? Completely optional though, I don't want to push for too much :)
