Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chug'urlaysan, nedan xafasan?
Ayvoniga in solgan qushni
Kutgan elni qaydan topasan,
Bunday elni qaydan topasan?
Iningdan xas tushsa, avaylab
O′z o'rniga qo'yadi joylab.
Polaponing uchishin poylab
Bunday elni qaydan topasan?
Ey qaldirg′och, ey qaldirg′och,
Bunday yurtga bag'ringni och.
Ey qaldirg′och, ey qaldirg'och,
Bunday elga bag′ringni och.
Bu bir elki, bag'rikeng, hotam,
Yetti o′lchab, tashlaydi qadam.
Bo'lsa hamki dilida ming g'am,
Kulgan elni qaydan topasan?
Bo′lsa hamki dilida ming g′am,
Kulgan elni qaydan topasan?
Bunday elni qaydan topasan?
Ey qaldirg'och, ey qaldirg′och,
Bunday yurtga bag'ringni och.
Ey qaldirg′och, ey qaldirg'och,
Bunday elga bag′ringni och.
O'nta bo'lsa, o′rni bo′lak deb,
Bir kun bo'lar menga tirgak deb,
El tinchiga o′g'lon kerak deb,
Tuqqan elni qaydan topasan?
Kelmay qolsa uyiga mehmon,
Joni halak, yugurar har yon.
Qush sayrasa, tunda turib non
Yopgan elni qaydan topasan,
Bunday elni qaydan topasan?
Ey qaldirg′och, ey qaldirg'och,
Bunday yurtga bag′ringni och.
Ey qaldirg'och, ey qaldirg'och,
Bunday elga bag′ringni och.
Ey qaldirg′och, qayga shoshasan?
Ey qaldirg'och, qayga shoshasan?
Qayga shoshasan?
The lyrics to this song by Ozodbek Nazarbekov are full of questions directed at a character called qaldirg'och, who is perhaps a wanderer or a refugee. The opening lines ask why he is restless and wandering, and why he is anxious and fearful. The next stanza asks if he will find the land he is looking for, a place where a bird he once saw flying would land. The singer wonders if qaldirg'och will ever find such a place. The third stanza speaks of a land that is troubled and full of sorrow, where people suffer in silence. The singer asks if qaldirg'och will ever find this land.
The overall mood of the song is one of sadness and melancholy. The singer is trying to understand the emotions that drive qaldirg'och to wander and search for a place he can call home. The questions posed are rhetorical, as the singer doesn't expect an answer. The use of repetition of the phrase "Bunday elni qaydan topasan?" reinforces the sense of uncertainty and desperation, highlighting the difficulty of finding a place where one belongs.
