Pahadi – The Folk Songs From Uttarakhand Lyrics Translation – Nupur Pant
The poet describes the gentle morning light and the crisp mountain wind. Nupur Pant mentions the holy drum of Lord Shiva echoing through the hills. The lyrics also tell the story of Sherua and Ramoti, with lines like, ‘Oh Sherua, by God, you’re always on my mind.’
Bhuru Bhuru Ujyau Haigo Daan Kana Te Surr SurrThe gentle morning light has appeared, as the wind whispers softly,
Baaje Murli Turr Turr Maajh Murli Turr Turrand the flute plays its sweet melody, echoing through the valley.
Hawa Chali Re Surr Surr Hawa Chali Re Surr SurrThe crisp mountain wind blows, rustling through the trees.
Bhuru Bhuru Ujyau HaigoThe gentle morning light has appeared.
Jaagan Bhaige Shiv Kailasa Devi Dewta Himali KantaLord Shiva has awakened in Kailash, along with the deities of the Himalayan peaks.
Shiv Ko Damru Bajo Shiv Ko Damru BajoLord Shiva’s holy drum begins to play, sounding out across the mountains.
Mere Himala Dam Dam Mere Himala Dam DamMy Himalayas echo with its rhythm, resounding deeply through the hills.
Bhuru Bhuru Ujyau HaigoThe gentle morning light has appeared.
Nyola Nyola Nyola Meri ShobhaniYou’re so lovely, my beautiful one, glowing with freshness.
Din Ko Din Joban Jawaan Laag RoDay by day, your youthful beauty keeps blossoming.
Yo Ganga Jyu Ko Bagaad MeinOn the sandy banks of the holy river Ganga,
Paaki Ra Chho Berithe wild berries have fully ripened.
Har Ghadi Laagi Re ChhoMy mind is fixed on you every single moment.
Padhaanu Launda SheruaOh Sherua, the son of the village headman,
Sherua Launda Narayi Yo TeriI feel a deep longing for you.
Narayi Teri Padhaanu Launda SheruaI yearn for you, oh son of the headman, Sherua.
Sherua Launda Teri Ram O RamaOh Sherua, by God, you’re always on my mind.
Dai Roopsa Nigawe Ki MaaniOh beautiful girl, you carry yourself with such pride.
Aye Nigawe Ki MaaniYes, you’re so filled with pride.
Tu Sew Ki Jaisi DaaniYou’re as sweet and lovely as a fresh apple.
Sew Ki Jaisi Daani Nikar Nikar BhaagiAs sweet as an apple, yet you try to slip away from me.
Tu Meri NikhaaniYou’re my precious one, meant only for me.
Nikaali Maike TokaliYou step out carrying a small basket from your mother’s house.
Jhanwar Na Baja ChhamDon’t let your silver anklets jingle so loudly.
Chhamma Jageeja Maathu Maathu Jyola Kilai Jai Chhai ChhamThe sound wakes everyone up, so let’s walk slowly, why do you step so noisily?
Oho Roopsa Ramoti Ghungru Na Baja ChhamOh beautiful Ramoti, please don’t let your ankle bells jingle.
