This folk song is another one of my Ma’s favourite songs…recently attended a family wedding and this song has since then been on my mind so posting today….
In this song the newly married bride ,in her sorrow,asks her father why he has married her off to a foreign-land.The English translation of this folk-song is as follows…
Why did you marry me off to a foreign land ?
O my Father!
We are like caged birds Father,
As soon as you lift your hand, we will fly away…
O my Father!
Why did you marry me off to a foreign land ?
O Father, we are like cows in your shed,
We will go wherever you lead us…..
O my Father!
Why did you marry me off to a foreign land ?
You have given red palaces to brother
And a foreign-land to me…….
O my Father!
Why did you marry me off to a foreign land ?
When my Palki (a carriage for the bride) passes under the balcony,
My brother has fainted……
O my Father!
Why did you marry me off to a foreign land ?
As I lifted my veil and watch,
My homeland is left behind…..
O my Father!
Why did you marry me off to a foreign land ?
What do you sing now Dear Koyal?
As I leave for a foreign-land….
O my Father!
Why did you marry me off to a foreign land ?

Recently famous Indian Singer Shamshad Begum left all of us at the age of 94 for her heavenly abode. We held a programme remembering her. In this video, Dr.Ila Prakash speaks about Shamshadji and I sang her song “Bachpan ke din.’ Posting the lyrics and their English translation below….

Hoooo
Bachapan Ke Din Bhulaa Na Denaa

(Lambe Hain Jeevan Ke Raste
….The paths of life are long
Aao Chale Ham Gaate Haste)-2
….Let us walk on them laughing and singing
Gaate, Hanste
….laughing and singing
Aaa…. Aaaaa….
(Door Desh Ek Mahal Banaayein
…..Let us build a palace in a far-off land
Pyaar Kaa Jis Mein Deep Jalaayein)-2
…..Where we will light a lamp of love
Deep Jalaayein
