Dos Mukasan - Kaidasyn? (Where are you?)

I got a CD of legendary Kazakh group Dos Mukasan. They had huge hits in 70s. I asked Patrick to TAB one song, and he did it for me. Many thanks, Patrick! I tried to catch the lyrics myself. Words are in both Russian and Kazakh.

Lyrics
================================
Дос Мұқасан - Қайдасың.
--------------------------------

Күндіз де, түнде де сені іздедім.
Кімсің сен? Қайдасың? Соны білмедім.
Бірде барсың, бірде жоқ, сен бір _елесің_(?).
Түнімде таңымдай маған келесің.
Түнімде таңымдай маған келесің.

Днем и ночью я ищу давнюю мечту.
Но не зная кто она все равно ищу.
Ты приходишь как мираж в предрассветном сне,
Но я верю мое счастье улыбнется мне.
Но я верю мое счастье улыбнется мне.


Құс болып ұшалсам табармем әлде?
Сендей жан мен үшін жоқ бұл әлемде.
Сені іздедім далада. Сені іздедім қалада.
Жоқсың сен. Қайдасың? Жүрсің сен қайда?
Жоқсың сен. Қайдасың? Жүрсің сен қайда?

TABS
=================================
I transposed TABS a half note higher to adjust to Patrick's guitar tuning. All chords sound better barred.

1. Intro (solo 1) - I've to transpose Patrick's TAB for this.

2. Verse 1

(Cm) Күндіз де, (B-flat) түнде де (A-flat) сені ізде- (G) -дім.
(Cm) Кімсің сен? (B-flat) Қайдасың? (A-flat) Соны білме- (G) -дім.
(C) Бірде барсың, (Fm) бірде жоқ, (B-flat) сен бір _еле- (E-flat) -сің_(?).
(A-flat) Түнімде (Cm) таңымдай (G) маған келе - (Cm) -сің.
(Fm) Түнімде (Cm)таңымдай (G) маған келе - (Cm) -сің.

3. Solo 1

4. Verse 2

5. Solo 2 - I'll tab this later. I got the first part, but am too lazy to tab right now.

6. Verse 3

=====================
=====================

Translation.

I'll try to translate this into English. No rhymes yet, sorry.

Verse 1. (In Kazakh)

Days and nights I've been looking for you.
Who are you? where are you? I didn't know.
Sometimes you are here, sometimes you are not. You are _____ - [I couldn't get one word]
You come to me as dawn at night.
You come to me as dawn at night.

Verse 2. (In Russian)

Days and nights I'm looking for my old dream.
I don't know who she is, but still I'm looking for her.
You come as a mirage in my before-the-dawn dream,
but I believe that my happines will smile to me some day.
... but I believe that my happines will smile to me some day.

Verse 3 (In Kazakh)

If I could fly as a bird, would I be able to find you?
There's nobody like you in this world.
I've been looking for you in the praries. I've been looking for you in the city.
I couldn't find you. Where are you? Where are you wandering?
I couldn't find you. Where are you? Where are you wandering?

=========================

Wow! That was quite an achievement :) If you can correct lyrics or add more TABs, please, do it. I'd appreciate it very much.

Special thanks to Sairan Kikkarin. I used his beautiful KazWin Kazakh keyboard driver for Windows.
