about
"Kyz Kuu" is a horse game. Volga Bulgars have forgotten "Kyz Kuu" tradition, however, it has survived to this day among the people living in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Central Asia.
"Kyz Kuu" is translated as "girl chasing". The game starts with a horseman and a young woman taking horses onto the track. The young woman moves away from her companion 12-15 meters ahead, then the judge gives a signal, and the race starts. During the distance of about 300-400 meters, the young man must catch his companion, and if he does, he becomes entitled to embrace and kiss the girl on the go. After that, young people exchange their roles. The young man is given a head start of 12-15 meters, and his companion remains behind. At the judge’s signal, the chase starts, and if the girl overtakes the young man, she has a right to hit him with a whip.
If the young people fail to catch each other, they lose their chance to be together. In case they could do it, the young man decides, whether the young woman stays with him or not. In case of affirmative reply, the wedding is made on the same day.

lyrics
Татарский язык (кириллица):
Агыйделгә яз килгәндә,
Туган якларга кайттым.
Соңгы боз агып киткәндә,
Ярда сине очрадым.
Зимагурларга чыгарга,
Рөхсәт бирми туганнар.
Яучыларымны күргәндә,
Ишекләрдән куганнар.
Чәчеңә үреп таккан идең,
Умырзая чәчәген.
Күзләргә карап биргән идең,
Каушырга ант сүзен.
Яшь йөрәкләрнең булганда,
Каушырга сәбәпләре,
Сабантуй көннәрдә бардыр,
Кыз куу бәйгеләре.
Акбүз ат – инде минем канат!
Йөзеңне, язмыш, миңа карат!
Сабантуйга атланып чыгам,
Чабышта җиңеп, сине алам.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Tatar (Latin 2012 version):
Agıydelgä yaz kilgändä,
Tugan yaklarga kayttım.
Soñgy boz agıp kitkändä,
Yarda sine oçradym.
Zimagurlarga çygarga,
Röxsät birmi tugannar.
Yauçylarymny kurgändä кургәндә,
Işeklärdän kugannar.
Çäçeñä ürep takkan ideñ,
Umyrzaya çäçägen.
Küzlärgä karap birgän ideñ,
Kauşyrga ant süzen.
Yaş yöräklärneñ bulganda,
Kauşyrga säbäpläre,
Sabantuy konnärdä bardyr,
Kyz kuu bäygeläre.
Akbüz at – inde minem kanat!
Yözeñne, yazmyş, miña karat!
Sabantuyga atlanyp çygam,
Çabyşta ciñep, sine alam.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Русский (перевод):
С наступлением весны на Агыйдель-реке,
Возвращался я в свой отчий край.
Встретил я тебя на берегу,
Когда утекала последняя льдина.
За бродягу замуж выйти,
Никогда тебе родные не позволят.
Как увидели они моих сватов,
Так прогнали сразу с порог.
В косы черные вплетала ты,
Цветы белые подснежников.
И глядя в глаза давала ты,
Обещание со мной быть вечно.
Когда есть у молодых сердец,
Только вместе быть причины,
Говорят в дни Сабантуя есть,
Состязание догнать девушку мужчине.
Белый конь мой - мои крылья!
Повернись лицом ко мне, судьба!
Выезжаю я верхом на Сабантуй,
И на скачках победив тебя добуду!
----------------------------------------------------------------
English (translation):
With the coming of spring on the Agidel River,
Returning to my homeland,
I met you at the bank,
When the last ice floe was drifted away.
Your relatives will never allow you,
To marry a tramp.
My matchmakers were driven away
By them behind the doorstep.
Weaving white snowdrops into black braids,
Looking into my eyes,
You promised to be with me forever.
When the young hearts
Have reasons to be together,
They say there is a contest for a young man
To catch up a girl on Sabantuy days.
My white horse, be my wings!
Turn up to me, my destiny!
I'm riding on my horse to Sabantuy,
To win the race and get you!
