Тиын төгілед төбеден ей
Жер шарын дөңгелетем көлігімде
Бөтелектен бөтен көбелектер түссе, көп елеңдеп тұрып төлеп кетпе
Білсін бөлек өлке бізде көлегей кілең сөз көп, бірақ, көңқап төңіректе
Тығылад лақ құлақ тақап бағалағанда, құлап қалып қап, маған абаламаңдар
Талқылап лап етіп алаулағанда бла-бладан маған да ала қалыңдар
Тұрып тұр енек тікенектей, бөлмеде тек бөгелектер өрмелейд дейм,
Тиын төгілед төбеден ей
Жер шарын дөңгелетем көлігімде
Екі көз төбеде, көт еденде, көп дегенде төрт көрім өрік жеген ем, көр көр ,
Төрт дөңгелек, төрт сүмелек өрт алып төртте келед өңдеріңде,
Мөр-мөр өкпелерде, көк бірдеңе,шөл-көл күлкілермен өлі тірілер, бөл-бөл
Өкпелеме дөп тигенде не ө-өтпегенде, бізден көрме, бізде...
Тұрып тұр енек тікенектей, бөлмеде тек бөгелектер өрмелейд дейм,
Тиын төгілед төбеден ей
Жер шарын дөңгелетем көлігімде
The lyrics of ZAQ's song "Tikenek" contain profound metaphors and imagery that convey a sense of isolation and detachment from society. The recurring theme throughout the song revolves around being different and feeling like an outsider. The phrase "Тұрып тұр енек тікенектей" translates to "I stand alone like a hermit," which sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics.
The first verse describes how the persona feels separated from the world around them, only surrounded by superficial interactions and masks. The line "Бөлмеде тек бөгелектер өрмелейд дейм" suggests that they find it difficult to form genuine connections and long for deeper relationships.
The following lines express a longing for inner self-discovery and acceptance. The phrase "Тиын төгілед төбеден ей" metaphorically implies a desire to find one's true worth, beyond the superficial traits that society often values. The persona wishes to explore their inner world and find stability in their own unique identity. The metaphor "Жер шарын дөңгелетем көлігімде" evokes the idea of finding balance and grounding within oneself.
The second verse continues the exploration of individuality and the challenges that come with it. The repetition of the phrase "төрт" emphasizes the idea of being different and seeing the world through a distinct perspective. The use of dual imagery in lines like "Мөр-мөр өкпелерде, көк бірдеңе, шөл-көл күлкілермен өлі тірілер, бөл-бөл" portrays a sense of chaos and confusion that arises from feeling like an outsider. Despite this, the persona urges others to see beyond surface-level judgments and truly understand them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Tikenek" convey a deep sense of longing for genuine connections, self-acceptance, and understanding. It captures the complexities of being different in a society that often values conformity. The imagery and metaphors used throughout the song invite listeners to reflect on their own experiences of isolation and the search for authenticity.

Тұрып тұр енек тікенектей, бөлмеде тек бөгелектер өрмелейд дейм
I stand tall like an ancient tree, unaffected by the passing seasons
Тиын төгілед төбеден ей
I draw strength from the depths of my soul
Жер шарын дөңгелетем көлігімде
My spirit echoes through the vastness of the earth
Бөтелектен бөтен көбелектер түссе, көп елеңдеп тұрып төлеп кетпе
Even if trials and tribulations surround me, I will not falter
Білсін бөлек өлке бізде көлегей кілең сөз көп, бірақ, көңқап төңіректе
Our small country may be overlooked, but our voices resonate loudly
Тығылад лақ құлақ тақап бағалағанда, құлап қалып қап, маған абаламаңдар
When they listen with closed ears, I will break their barriers, they won't hold me back
Талқылап лап етіп алаулағанда бла-бладан маған да ала қалыңдар
When they try to label and judge me, they will also be bound by their own limitations
Екі көз төбеде, көт еденде, көп дегенде төрт көрім өрік жеген ем, көр көр
With two eyes closed, I see more when I ascend, observe, observe with four eyes
Төрт дөңгелек, төрт сүмелек өрт алып төртте келед өңдеріңде
With four limbs, four senses, I will move in four directions with my own rhythms
Мөр-мөр өкпелерде, көк бірдеңе, шөл-көл күлкілермен өлі тірілер, бөл-бөл
In the colorful horizons, in the vastness of the sky, I will dance with the winds, piece by piece
Өкпелеме дөп тигенде не ө-өтпегенде, бізден көрме, бізде...
Whether I am present or gone, don't look for me, for I am within us...
Тұрып тұр енек тікенектей, бөлмеде тек бөгелектер өрмелейд дейм
I stand tall like an ancient tree, unaffected by the passing seasons
Тиын төгілед төбеден ей
I draw strength from the depths of my soul
Жер шарын дөңгелетем көлігімде
My spirit echoes through the vastness of the earth
