music lyrics

1 Khahare Kholo (a non-perennial river)

Khahare kholo timro ra mero balaute rodana

: Our tears are like the brook, which dries up eventually

Narum hai kanchi chuttiye pani huncha hai milana

: Save the tears because we will meet no matter the parting

Besare badal timro ra mero, godhuli domana

: The dust glows pale in the dusk, and our hearts are in a dilemma; its time to leave

Parkha hai kanchi, auchu hai farki, preeti ko bharana

: Our love is the shelter you where you wait for me

Chaita ko huri, timro ra mero, udeko yo maana.

: Our hearts are taking flight with the wind gathering in the season

Pakdam hai kanchi, hatkela timro, huri ko duri ma

: Let me hold your hands in this cold wind

Paani ko chaala timro ra mero, maajhi ko sapana

: Our dreams are like the waves ashore and a boatman’s dream

Tairera kanchi pugum hai haami tyo paari bagara

: Lets cross the river and reach the other bank.
2. Fulbutte Chari

Fulbutte Chari, sapana bhari, udi hidche, ghari ghari

: A bird with floral stripes floats on my dreams time and again

Chinmai bilauche, herdai haschu ma

: I smile, as she disappears in a glimpse

Rangi changi, khelauna sari, kathaibadi, ladibudi

Chinmai bhanchchan, herdai runchu ma
: And sometimes my dreams are colorful playthings, which break away, I mourn

Ghaama ra pani, jhai jindagani, saatha liyera

Hidirahadai afailai khojchu ma
: The life I carry in me is like the sun and rain, and I try finding myself within 

Sukha dukha ka gaathaharuma, rumaliyera

Attaliyeka suskera falchu ma
: I let out gasp sometimes as I get engulfed in the embitter

Hindchu ma….
I keep treading nevertheless

Jindagi ka rekha haru, pani ka foka jastai

: The circle of life is like a water bubble

Kahile bhetchu khusi tara kaile parcha testai

: It is embitter

Yestai raicha melo meso bhandai hidchu ma

: I understand life is like this, I keep treading
Tesai afno katha korchu ma
: I write the pages likewise.

Aaja sunchu dukha ko boli

Tara feri khusi ko bholi, farki aucha, muskurauchu ma
: Though today might not be a good one, I know tomorrow ill be greeted by a
brighter day, and I smile
3. Karmai Banyo

Karmai banyo afaile, bhagya fatyo arule,

Chepte sunko sapana boki, gaye ma ta muglan tira hai

: My fate shaped itself, but was ruined by others

Hence, I’m going to Lhasa to earn some gold

Ektira ko chaaso ho, ektira ko baaso bho,

Maayajalko sapanalai, dhanko lobhle chudailaada ho

: My dreams are somewhere else while I’m heading a different direction

When dire need of money strikes, then love’s left behind

Jhilimili dekhe pani, birsiyeko chaina

Hamro sanglo mohani ma gasiyeko marma,
Khusi keho bhani khojna gaye bharu rupiye
Dhaakar nanglo bisayechi haase manai manma

: Though I’ve seen the city lights here, 

I haven’t forgotten the sweet and sad glow of our love
I came here to earn some material happiness 
Now when I rest my tools I have a faint smile upon my face

Sirasire batasama, firfire jhai udeko

Murchunga ra binayo ma timlai dakna geeta gauda ho

: Like a firfire taking flight in the swift wind 

I remember the times when i used to play the murchunga and binayo (jew’s harp)
and call you by

Pirle pirna aayepani, tirai pakdi farkamla,

Chatureko haata ani makhamali timlai odhamla

: Trouble will trouble me yet ill come back ashore

And buy you a makhamali shawl from chature market.
4. Hijo Jastai (as yesterday)

Ghurkaune ko dhuwa sangai naatai todera, kathai korera

Ghuuroko dhunai bajyo manai chedera, 
Hijo jastai

: The last cigarette is put out 

The story is written as the violin plays some melancholy tune

Chimke hidyo baatai baato, manai chodera

Chimki ani rudi holi, ghumto odhera
Aaha hijo jastai

: The lad went his way leaving his heart behind

The lass maybe shedding tears back home engulfed in blankets
Like yesterday

Bhaaka yo kasto ballaure joban

Baduli khaye jasto
K uraath khyalai uhileko baacha pirolna aayejasto

: This tune is sad and eats on my heart

Like an omen from long ago that has come to take away the joy

Gauthali farki taadhaima basda, dinai bitejasto

: The day that swiftly passed just as the birds come to the loft
5. Samjhana Matrai Bho (only memory remains)

Ek jhari ko dina ma besi mai pare,

Manle ta haine hai karale jhare,
Jhaskidai ma ta hai, hallidai parlidai, ukaali lagdai hooo, 
Timi ta chainau ni samjhana matrai bho

One rainy day, I was stuck down south

I had come in the hope that id meet you
But now I’m climbing up the hill again
You’re not there, only your memory surrounds

Baleko digo yo bujhna nadeu,

Gaaseko priti yo chutna nadeu,
Jaane ta hainau ki naau nai chadi,
Dui daada sari hoooo
Farkera auchau ki bhani ma rujhdai ho

Don’t let the fire we started get put out

Don’t let the love we knit, get torn
I hope you won’t leave in a ship to neverland
I’m drenched in rain but I still hope you’ll come back

Tungine dina lai tankaidimla

Kaslai k thaha hai bholi k hola
Jindagi skai ho aau na maaya, haata ma badhamla
Bholi ko maaya lai aaja nai saatamla

Lets make the passing day longer

Who knows what tomorrow will bring
This is the only life, I’m reaching out
Lets exchange tomorrows’ love today already.
6. Aarambha (the beginning)

Hatkela baajho rakhema pani

Bhitra ta aakash dekhinna hola
Chahari bhitrai basema pani
Yo ghaama sadhai chekinna hola

: Though I keep my palm empty and clean

I doubt if I will ever see a sky within
Though I stay in my favorite hiding
I doubt if it will always hold the scorching sun out

Aarambha, mathi herdai

Udaya, aghi badhdai
: Lets start moving, looking upwards
Lets start rising, moving ahead
