Country side songs (पूर्वेली घँसिया गीत)

Enjoy the songs sung by cowboys, cowgirls, field workers, grass and firewood collectors in my society-the society of the Eastern hills of the Himalayas !

(1)

खोला दोभन्ले [Khola Dovan le = By the conjoin of two streams]
के खाउँ र के लाउँ भन्छ यो मन्ले[Ke khaun ra ke laun bhanchha yo manle = What to eat and what to drink tells this mind !]

(2)

झ्याम्मै बर छास्यौ [Jhyammai bar chhaseu = (You) trimmed the dense Banyan tree]
यो बेला सम्म काँ बोल्यौ, हाँस्यौ ? [Yo bela samma kahan boleu haseu = Where did (you) romance until this time ? ]

(3)

ढाक्रेलाई तोक्मा[Dhakrelai tokma = A T-stick* to a Doko* - carrier]
कोई स्वर्ग लोक्मा त कोई नर्क लोक्मा(Koi Swarga lokma ta koi Narka Lokma = Some go to the Heaven but other go to the Hell)

* Doko and Tokma (T-stick)

(4)

रातो भालेलाई [Rato bhale lai = To a red cock(fowl)]
काटेर खाने हो के छ सालेलाई [Katera khane ho ke chha salelai = let's chop and eat , do no worries ! ]

(5)

खोला खहरे [Khola Khahare = Stream and revulet]
दाइको मायाँ त अन्तै छ अरे [Daiko Maya ta antai chha are = (I heard that you) brother's love is elsewhere ! ]

(6)

गाई मालुवैमा [Gai Maluwaima = A cow is at Maluwa (name of a place)]
माया दिल बस्यो है सुनबालुवैमा [Maya dil basyo hai Sunbaluwaima = Our love knot started at Sunbaluwa (name of a place)]
