certain phrases have different meaning from that of their each word meaning

eg: usually Iranian fairy tales start with this phrase,"yeki bood yeki nabood" "one was there, one was not there" which has no proper meaning in reality

so this phrases you cant find the meaning using dictionary any help, one post away

yes of course, if gonbad means cupola and kabood means blue or livid or dark, it is very clear that gonbade cabood means the sky.

But I am confused what Kabood means, is it dark, or blue, or livid, or gray, or dark blue. In dictinaries I have found:
dark blue
gray
livid
so are all these correct depending on situation?

thanks for your help! Very nice of you!

one example in a sentence would be very helpful
