keçe – börü, kündüz it bolub

/ketʃe – børy, kyndyz it bolub/

Literal translation

being a wolf by night, a dog by day

To live on the run — unable to go home, keeping out of sight and moving about in constant fear.

Baymırzadan qaçhanımı bla qıstalğanımı bilirge süygen Başirge sorsun. Keçe – börü, kündüz it bolub, süyübmü aylanama? Keçe da, kün da kişige etgen hatam joqdu.Let whoever wants to know whether I fled from Baymyrza or was driven out ask Bashir. Do I go about a wolf by night and a dog by day because I enjoy it? Neither by night nor by day have I done harm to anyone.
Beş jılnı men jalçılıqda aylandım, Keçe börü bolub, kündüz it bolub, …Men barama zor duniyadan tüp bolub.Five years I spent in servitude, a wolf by night, a dog by day, … I go on, crushed by a world of force.
