Traditional Naga folk songs sung at the Hornbill Festival 2013, Kisama, Nagaland

Traditional folk song #6

Ki Bedonate (Cover)

Arjun and I started curating songs for a Community Radio Assignment and we really enjoyed ourselves while doing it. The songs are usually sung by an artist from College accompanied by a guitarist. The result has been worth sharing with the world.  These songs have been recorded using a humble zoom H1 in the most basic environments. The recording is raw in the real sense, that is why it is called STUDIO RAW SOUND.

Lel aw lel aw sanem (Zou Song from Manipur) - Ronica Vungmuankim and Eugene Soreng

Vishal Langthasa and Suradip Langthasa revisit a 90s classic Dimasa song originally sung by a veteran Dimasa singer Krishna Langthasa and produced by Phorongbili Productions based in Maibang, Assam. This song appeared in the album titled 'Nokhabling' (Moonlight). (LYRICS & TRANSLATION BELOW)

"Ning Khakhuyaba Daogari" translates as "The figurine that you created". This song essays a young girl's humility and free spirit. On seeing a sculpture of herself made by a sculptor in honor of her beauty she says to him that she does not hold such spell binding beauty as his sculpture.

This acoustic cover celebrates Phorongbili's decades of contribution to Dimasa modern music. Entirely a zero budget project, it is also an experimentation with the most basic sound recording equipment and musical instruments. This cover was recorded using only a Zoom H1 and Rode video mic go and contains real sounds from the Diyung river and Jatinga rivers of Dima Hasao District, Assam. Produced with prior permission from Phorongbili Productions. The lyrics and composition of the song are owned by Phorongbili Productions, Maibang. Any recreation of the song without prior permission will be considered an offence.

LYRICS:
Ning khakhuyaba daogari
Anglai nuba bukhe shumu ni
Bului shini jang majangshishi
Jadu naiya naithaoshishi
Ang la, niya thi
Bulai jashishi
Shumu khakhulaba bukhe ning dini
Bului shini jang majangshishi shishi
Jadu naiya naithaoshishi 

Mithiya thi ang malajig
Dikhong gibirsa lai
Tharmaiya thi ang ringya thi
Hagra ni mishai lai
Phunukha shaumin jar baubalai
Shumu phunulaba bukhe ning dini

Donglabamu ang baolahi
Habshao ni waimu khe
Khimbarshi shining shainba mu
Yaophakha khimling khe
Khani khajama laburiba lai
Shumu laburiba bukhe ning dini



LYRICS WITH ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Ning khakhuyaba daogari
The figurine that you created

Anglai nuba bukhe shumu ni
Why does it look like me

Bului shini jang majangshishi
Wonderful like the seven colours of a rainbow

Jadu naiya naithaoshishi
Makes one want to keep gazing

Ang la, niya thi bulai jashishi
I do not look like her

Shumu khakhulaba bukhe ning dini
Why did you create her?

Mithiya thi ang malajig
I don't know I am just a young girl

Dikhong gibirsa lai
Like a frenzied brook

Tharmaiya thi, ang ringya thi
I have never known, I have never learnt

Hagra ni mishai lai
Like a deer in the wild

Phunukha shaumin jar baubalai
You showed me dreams the way you want

Shumu phunulaba bukhe ning dini
But why did you show this to me today?

Donglabamu ang baolahi Habshao ni waimu khe
I was there, thinking about the sorrows of the world

Khimbarshi shining shainba mu
I had only asked for one blossom

Yaophakha khimling khe
You  handed me the whole garden

Khani khajama laburiba lai
Like bringing happiness to my heart

Shumu laburiba bukhe ning dini
why did you bring it today?

An Assamese alt-funk track, abstract in sense, related to all the questions to which there are no answers.
