Birha Lyrics – Kalpana Patowary, Sonia Saigal
Ram bhaile jogiya lakhan bairagiya
Ki duno bhaiya ho gaile fakir
Garwa me daar lihale tulsi ji ke malwa he
Are duno bhaiya mangale ajodhiya me bheekh
Sarson ke maar delas lahi e bhai
Ki bathua bigadle ba khet
Ohi brindavanawa me pakali bairiya
Ki radha tode dariya jhukaay
Aa ekohu bairiya radha todohu na pawali ki he
Are kaanha dihale basiyan nu re bajay
Sarson ke maar delas lahi e bhai
Ki bathua bigadle ba
Are beta ke patahu bigaadle ba ki he
Are koliya me kholole bate ho duar
Demons in my dreams at night
Working my mind like a scythe
Filling up my thoughts with dread
Working this land until i am dead
Sending shivers down my spine
Shaking my soul to a grind
Making me run, i’m outta time
I been running like there is coming a war
Sliding down with my cheap guitar
From bombay to zanzibar
Dont think i am getting very far
Hurawa baran tor jurwa patarki
Ki munari baran karhiaay
Are akhiya me dele ba julmi kajarwa ki he
Are maare chhaiyalawan ke jaike jaan
Sarson ke maar delas lahi e bhai
Ki bathua bigadle ba khet
Beta ke patahu bigaadle ba ki he
Are koliya me kholole bate ho duar
I lift my hands to bring to life
This land of mine in time
Of strife work to make two end meet
And feel the soil beneath my feet
I am working my fingers to the bone
This land is hard as dry as stone
But i will be slaving till i am done
Oh lord please don’t leave me alone.
