başına at ururğa

/baʃɯna at ururʁa/

Literal translation

for a horse to strike one's head

To be deceived or to err — to misjudge a situation and be led astray, later regretting it.

Men başına at urğan, alanı ötürüklerine iynana da, alağa sawğalanı bağadan-bağaların al da ber, hayda sıyla.And I, taken in, believing their lies, kept buying them the costliest of gifts and feasting them.
Ay, başıma at urğan a! Tura edim jata, qaydan çıqdı hata?!Oh, how I was taken in! I was lying there quietly — where did this trouble come from?!
