"Kupiŭ dudu na svaju bjadu"
original: Купіў дуду на сваю бядуLiterally: "He bought a bagpipe for his own problem / trouble / misfortune"; It was believed that a person who plays the bagpipe, can’t do anything else (can’t be good at farming, &c.); Contrarily, it was also believed, however, that one who plays the bagpipe, is good at everything.
