Morau
Dedicated to Youraj Chettri (Wakley)
Lyrics :
Marau Ko mela
Marau ma bhela
Khola Ko Kinar ma
Sathi bhai sangai basi
malami jadai Chhan
Marau ko bela
Bato ma bhela
Tambu ra tirpal ma
Manisa pir ma basi
alu dum khaddai chhan
Karma Ko khelai
Kapati cha Leela
Kinar Ko Dhunga ma
Babu aakha murda jhai pari
Kapalai childai Chhan
Gau Ghar ma ramita
morau Ko Bela
Kuna ma neuri
Didi baini maiti ghati
bhanera lattechhan
Morau ko mela
Morau ma bhela
Khola ko Kinar ma
Sathi bhai sangai basi
akalai rudaichhan
Morau ko bela
Bato Ko cheuma
Gaadi ma Bhari
Manisa hai dukha Mani
Bicharai bhandai chhan
Khola Ko pani
Bagdai chha orali
Nani ko kharani ~ wagleyko sapani
Khallo satya chati ma rakhi
Daju le selauchhan
Gau ghar ma ramita
Bhagya ko charcha
Aanjan china jana
Chimeki le gaf mai bhanchhan
Aakalo aamai roi ranche
Saatow udi Sarir usko khali
Saatow udyo
Translation :
A funeral fair,
A funeral gathering,
By the river side.
Friends and family
get together,
And are walking in the procession of death.
Time for a funeral.
By the side of the road, In tents and tarpaulin,
People sit in despair,
And eat alu dum.
A play of karma,
The malice of fate,
On the rocks by the river,
A father with dead eyes,
Sits and shaves his head.
Time for a funeral,
a carnival in the neighbourhood,
crouched in the corner,
married women feel dazed realizing,
their lineage has shrunk.
A funeral fair,
A funeral gathering,
By the riverside,
Friends and family get together,
To mourn alone.
A funeral time,
Beside the road,
Packed in cars,
People feel sorrow,
But are bound by words.
The water of the river flows downhill,
The child’s ashes, (Wakle’s dreams)
The brother immerses in the river,
as the mundane truth, hangs over his heart.
Time for a funeral,
a carnival in the neighbourhood,
conversations about future and fate, strangers are acquainted,
in the gossip of neighbours.
The mother sits alone, with her tears,
Her spirit flies away,
her body empty.
The mother sits alone,
Her spirit has flown.
