Sun is an island of organised chaos. Ek jagah hai jahai do log saath mein gaana gaate aur bajaate hai, to find reason for the things happening around us.
These are fairytales which neither happened once upon a time, nor in an unnamed land far, far away. A simple line of practical advice that Nirgun poets have been singing through generations. 

A new format for these nouveau-fairytales, which teach us to stop looking out for material possessions, but rather, look deep within our souls to find the meaning of beauty. Beauty that we fail to see amid the turbulent storm, which passes eventually, giving way to rain, that possess the power to blossom the most beautiful gifts, without which our song remains incomplete.

Lyrics

Eri Sakhi More Piyā Ghar Aaye
Bhāg Lage Is Aangan Ko
Apne Piyā Ke Main Bal Bal Jāun
Charan Lagāyo Nirdhan Ko

Eri Sakhi More Piyā Ghar Aaye

Main Toh Khadi Thi Aas Lagāye
Mehndi Kajrā Māng Sajāye
Dekhi Suratiyā Apne Piyā Ki
Hār Gayi Main Tann Mann Ko

Eri Sakhi More Piyā Ghar Aaye

Jiskā Piyā Sang Beete Sāvan
Us Dulhan Ki Raen Suhāgan
Jis Sāvan Mein Piyā Ghar Nāhi
Aag Lage Us Sāvan Ko

Eri Sakhi More Piyā Ghar Aaye


ऐ री सखी मोरे पिया घर आए
भाग लगे इस आँगन को
अपने पिया के मैं बल-बल जाऊँ
चरन लगायो निर्धन को

ए री सखी मोरे पिया घर आए

मैं तो खड़ी थी आस लगाए
मेंहदी कजरा माँग सजाए
देख सूरतिया अपने पिया की
हार गई मैं तन मन को

ए री सखी मोरे पिया घर आए

जिसका पिया संग बीते सावन
उस दुल्हन की रैन सुहागन
जिस सावन में पिया घर नाहि
आग लगे उस सावन को

ए री सखी मोरे पिया घर आए

Jaanu Na - Raagleela

When You(Balcony TV Version)

A beautiful conversation between a mother-daughter! A folk lullaby from himachal...the language is Pahaadi.

Below is the translation-

Amma puch di, sun dhiya meri e, dhubari itni tu kya kar hoyi ho

The mother asks her daughter, what is it that worries you (why do you look so skinny)

Paarli baniya, mor jo bole ho, amma ji ine more nindara gavayi ho

(Daughter says) The calls of the peacock in the neighboring forest are not letting me sleep

Sadh le bandukhi jo, Sadh le shikari jo, dhiye bhala eta more maar giraana ho

(Mother) Lets call the gunman, lets call the hunter, and lets get this peacock killed

Morni maarna, morni gavaana ho, ho amma jee eta more pinjara puvaana ho

(Daughter) Killing the peacock would mean losing it, we should just put it in a cage

Kuthi janda chandra ma, kuthi jaande tare ho, oh amma jee kuthi jaande dilaan de pyaare ho

(Daugher) Where does moon go, where do the stars go, o mother where do the ones we love disappear

Chupi janda chandra ma, chupi jaande tare ho, ho dhiye bhala naiyo chupde dilaan de pyaare ho

(Mother) The moon hides and so do the stars, o daugher but those we love never go anywhere.

Another folk song by Mohit chauhan (Morni), this one from the album Pehchaan. There is more to the lyrics than meets the eye. This little girl knows killing the peacock would mean losing it. She knows that destroying is not the equivalent of conquering. One must aim at solving a problem that is worrisome instead of fighting it.

Another way of looking at it which ties the whole song together is that in life loved ones will never leave your side no matter what. They are precious. So if there is friction, compromising or moving away is better than putting an end to the relationship all together. Well that is just my take on the song, it could just be as simple as it sounds. I think I have started to over think everything I read these days. Should take a break!
