Thread: can't find definition for повязать

A wonderful gypsy-ish song used the word <<повяжу>> or something like that and i can't manage to get a definition.. also in the same song the word <<косы>> and it kept getting the definition <<spit>> which seems unlikely but once came across as <<braids>> - which seems more likely, as elsewhere in the song, <<платочком>> is also used.. /shrug/ Anyway if anyone could help me define повяжу &/or повяжать I would appreciate the help.. and sorry if my question is stupid..

It was a stupid question and I've answered it as knitting.. here's the trans as best I could come up with..

Виду про долина
В небо погляжу
И платочком пестрым косы по вяжу.
Ай, не, не, не, не, не Косы по вяжу
Где теперь бы другу
В очи поглядеть
Песенку заветную
Ай, для него пропет?
Aй, не, не, не, не, не,
для него пропет?
Но не веселит мне душу красота
Стала я другая стал а я не та
Ай - не, не, не, не. cтал а я не та
//
Sight of the valley
In the sky squint
And spit on a handkerchief colorful knit.
Ah, no, no, no, no, do not spit on knitting
Where now would be a friend
In the eyes look
Cherished song
Ah, for him to sing?
Ay, no, no, no, no, no,
for him to sing?
But no cheers my soul beauty
I began to become another and I'm not the one
Ah - no, no, no, no. I became and I'm not the one

повяжу косы = I'll braid my hair (literally "I'll tie my hair"). infinitive - повязать
платочком = by/with headscarf

Thank you!! And <<I'll tie my hair>> fits the song... <<do not spit on knitting>> is rather silly, now that I think about it.. Спасибо..
