The Abazins or Abaza (Abaza: абаза, Turkish: Abazalar, Arabic: أباظة) are an ethnic group of the Caucasus, closely related to the Abkhaz and Circassian (Adyghe) people. They live mostly in Turkey, Egypt, and in Karachay-Cherkessia and Stavropol Krai in the North Caucasus region of Russia.
The Abazins originally inhabited the Sadzen region in the western part of Abkhazia and migrated from Abkhazia to Abazinia in 14th and 15th centuries. They later migrated to other regions of the Middle East in the 18th and 19th centuries. Their dominant religion is Sunni Islam.
Abazins speak the Abaza language, a Northwest Caucasian language closely related to Abkhaz and Circassian. There are two dialects of Abaza spoken in Karachay-Cherkessia: Ashkharua and Tapanta. The culture and traditions of Abazins are similar to those of the Circassians. On many old maps Abazin territory is marked as part of Circassia (Adygea).
According to the 2010 Russian census, there were 43,341 Abazins in Russia. An Abazin diaspora exists in Turkey,Egypt,Jordan, Syria, and other Islamic countries, most of which are descendants of refugees (muhajirs) from the Caucasian War with the Russian Empire.
Through all the way that we've been through
And all the tears that we have spill
There's have left a feeling in me
Something that I couldn't throw away
I tried so hard to purge the demons from my soul
But they are still haunting me
And the pain keeps going on and on
Can't you see?
Now that's all over
All the way
My heart will be with you
Don't you feel?
Now that's all over
All the way
My heart will be with you
All the way
A path o hurting kept us apart
But there's something that we have
That still holds us one
A stronger chain, that keep our souls tied
Through the distance between us
No matter how we try to destroy our mistakes
It will survive on and on, on and on
Can't you see?
Now that's all over
All the way
My heart will be with you
Don't you feel?
Now that's all over
All the way
My heart will be with you
All the way
No one can fill the empty spaces, the void in our souls
Fill the place we can't control, with reason and
freewill
We can't deny the feelings, cause it will just bring
sadness
