Morni by Mohit Chauhan

 I mentioned about this beautiful Himahchali folk song in my last post. I had heard this song few years back and it was there somewhere in back up of mind. Thankfully, came across it again and this time won't let it fade away. I had no clue what it meant but it felt so soothing and haunting. Enjoy!! 

Amma poochdi sun dhiye mere aee
 Dhubari itni tu kiya kareeya hoyee yee
 [Mother Asks Listen O my daughter, Why are you so restless?]

 Paarli vaniya mor jo bole ho
Amma ji ina more nindara gawayi ho
 [Daughter says: The peacock is hooting in the next forest, O mother, his hooting has taken away my sleep]

 Sad le bandukiyo sad le shikari jo
Dhiye bhlaa idaa mor maar girana ho
 [Mother says: Lets call hunters and gunner, O daughter we will take this peacock down.]

 Morni marna ayeeee ooooooo Morni marna morni gawana ho
Oh ammaji inda mor hinjare puwana ho [Daughter says: No we will not shoot it, I will put it in a cage]

 Kuthi janda chandrama Kuthi janda tare ho Ohh
aamji kuthi jande dilla-de piyare hoo
 [Where does moon go and where do all stars go? O mother, where do all our dear ones go? ]

 Ho chuhpi janda chandrama Chhupi jandee tare hoo
 Dhiye bhala nayyoo chupe dilande pyare ho
 [Moon hides and so do all the stars, But my dear daughter, our dear ones don't disappear anywhere as they remains in our heart.]
