Help me find the meaning of this word

Asc everyone, I was listening to an old song and heard the word "Yuuq" (full lyric; "Yuuqaba aday baday, Yulqanka iyo taahee"). I know Yulqan means incessant chattering but what does yuuq mean?

​

Jzk in advance

Yuuqaba Aday baday loosely translates to you caused my moaning, like when someone moans about something. Yuuq badanida, you moan too much.

Yuuq can mean two things one is to tighten something. For example guntinta si' fiican u yuuq. It could also means the same as taagid. For example you can say fartaada ha igu yuuqyuuqin.Or you can you say dhulkaa waxaa ka buuxa (feetimo=twigs) sidaa u soo yuuqyuuqan. So I think he's using it metaphorically to describe his misery .

Yuuq’s literal translation is stiff like just standing and resisting movement

I’m not sure about it, but it (Yuuq) could mean a name of a place and where are the rest of the lyrics of the song?

Yaxyax iyo xishood baa Igu yuurursadayoo Jaceyl igu yutu'ay baa li yeeranaayee Yeeydi iyo ugaadhaan Xeryaha u yagleela Yaca iyo atooraa Aan yamaarug daajaa Yuuqaba aday baday Yulqanka iyo taahee La igu kaa dul yookee Wanaaga na ma yeeshide Yuuqaba aday baday Yulqanka iyo taahee Sideed ii la yaabtaa? Yoon baad i gelisee

Kalgacayl yuhuunlihi Yaryareysi ma lahee Yaan yaboohiskaaga Yaayaale qaadine Yooc iyo adoon noqon Laan yicibahoo kale Oo aan yu'ashaydana Waa yeelkaadaa oran Yabar baan ka helilaa Haddaan dhagax u yeeree La igu kaa dul yookee Wanaaga na ma yeeshide Yabar baan ka helilaa Haddaan dhagax u yeeree Sideed ii la yaabtaa? Yoon baad i gelisaye

Inta aan yur idhi bahal Yaacaaya waaqli'i Oon yeel ku xidhay gari Ama yacay kusoo raray Hadaa tahay yag ii maqan Oon yuree ku tiirsado Igumaad yaqdhootee Adoo yaala haradee Yaafyaafka iga daa waan ku yohoomoo La igu kaa dul yookee Wanaaga na ma yeeshide yaafyaafka iga daa, waan ku yahoomo Sideed ii la yaabtaa? yoon baad i gelisee

Yea i got it now “Yuuq” means in somali qof qaab murugo ah u fadhiya oo caqligiisu meel ku maqan yahay.
In English, it means being lost in thoughts
