Learn Kazakh with: Aua-rai (Ауа-рай)

by BAYANSULU

Кейде былай, кейде былай — sometimes this way, sometimes that. The feelings inside are the weather, in the song's own words, and the chorus keeps setting a verb beside its own negative: қарай, қарамай, looking and not looking.

Grammar notes, line by line

What each line is doing grammatically: the case and person endings it uses, the tense or mood of its verb, and the fixed expressions a dictionary will not resolve word by word. Lines that repeat in the song are listed once.

Keledı menı körgıñ

Келеді мені көргің

You want to see me

Inverted syntax: the main verb precedes the subject/complement for focus.

Köre bergıñ, köre bergıñ

Көре бергің, көре бергің

Keep seeing me, keep seeing me

Repetition used for emphasis.
Auxiliary verb 'бер (ber)' denotes continuous action.

Sen de men üşın boldyñ

Сен де мен үшін болдың

You also became everything for me

'үшін (üşın)' acts as a postposition requiring genitive/nominative base.

Süigen adam keide sağan bäle boldym

Сүйген адам кейде саған бәле болдым

Beloved, sometimes I became a trouble to you

Subject ellipsis: 'мен (men)' (I) is implied in the second clause.

Men köñılıme senı qaladym

Мен көңіліме сені қаладым

I wanted you in my heart

'көңіл (köñıl)' (heart/mind) often used for emotional capacity.

Senı janym...

Сені жаным...

You, my dear...

Ellipsis of the verb in an emotional address.

Köñıl keide qalai, qalamai

Көңіл кейде қалай, қаламай

Sometimes the heart wants, sometimes it doesn't

Contrastive pairing using 'қалай (qalai)' (how is it) and 'қаламай (qalamai)' (not wanting).

Közderıñe qarai, qaramai

Көздеріңе қарай, қарамай

Looking into your eyes, and then not looking

Parallel structure with converb forms for contrasting actions.

Iştegı sezımım aua-rai

Іштегі сезімім ауа-рай

My feelings inside are like the weather

The structure follows a predicative noun construction where 'ауа-рай (aua-rai)' acts as a noun predicate.

Keide bylai, keide bylai

Кейде былай, кейде былай

Sometimes like this, sometimes like that

Repetitive structure 'кейде (keide)... кейде (keide)...' creates a parallel temporal contrast.

Sağan aştym, keide qaştym

Саған аштым, кейде қаштым

Opened them to you, but sometimes I ran away

Elliptical structure: 'аштым (aştym)' is implied again for the second clause.

Senı äurege saldym

Сені әуреге салдым

I caused you trouble

Idiomatic expression 'әуреге (äurege) салу (salu)' means to cause trouble or worry for someone.

Keşır menı keide sağan qaramadym

Кешір мені кейде саған қарамадым

Forgive me, sometimes I didn't look at you

The imperative 'кешір (keşır)' functions as an interjection to soften the tone.
