Morni by Silk Route

Silk Route has always been one of my favorite bands. Just three band members and they do wonders with Guitars. I have listened to their songs Guncha, Dooba Dooba and Boondein for hours in a row. and above all, particular this Himachali song, named Morni, is bewilderingly amazing, so dejecting, so soulful, so lively, so touching, so peaceful, so magical so nostalgic, so... (... all other relevant keywords from any good English dicitionary ) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aama Poochhdi
Sun Dhiye Meriye
Dubali Itni Tu Kiyaan Kaari Hoyi Ho

Paar Li Vaniyaan
Mor Jo Boley Ho
Aama Ji Iney Morey Nindar Gavaai Ho

Sadh Le Bandukhi Jo
Sadh Le Shakaari Jo
Dhiye Bhala Eta Mor Maar Giraana Ho
Ho Dhiye Bhala Eta Mor Maar Giraana Ho

Mor Ni Maarna
Ho Mor Ni Maarna
Mor Ni Gavaana Ho
Aama Ji Eta Morey Pinjrey Puwaana Ho
Oo Aama Ji Eta Morey Pinjrey Puwaana Ho

Kuthi Jaanda Chandrama
Kuthi Jaandey Taare Ho
Oo Aama Ji Kuthi Jaandey Dilaan De Payaare Ho

Oo Chhupi Jaanda Chandrama
Chhupi Jaandey Taare Ho
Oo Chhupi Jaanda Chandrama Chhupi Jaandey Taare Ho
Oo Dhiye Bhala Naiyon Chhupdey Dilaan De Payaare Ho

Oo Dhiye Bhala Naiyon Chhupdey Dilaan De Payaare Ho

tujhe himaachali kab se samajh main aane lagi be ?

anu said...

wht's the song abt?

Spectator said...

@Alisha: maine kab kaha ke mujhe himaachali samajh main aati hai ???

#Anu: It's a dialog between a mother and her daughter. But the meaning of those dialogs is very generic, and mostly applicable to all lost and confused ppl surrounded with troubles. you need more translation ???

sachchi re dijjay!! mohit chauhan's voice , well, is dew! and have you heard "sapnein hain..sooni raatein" by the same group?

Spectator said...

haan... even Thanda Paani bhi mast gaaana hai. best thing about this band is, though they use same drums and guitars, their music is always ekdum shaanti types.

Shweta said...

Hi,
I am also completly possessed by this Morni number. I believe each folk song has a beautiful story behind it. If you know it, plz post it.

Spectator said...

Yep, I have some. Will post it sometime.

Ritesh said...

i love himachal b'coz i am a himachali

Spectator said...

well, that shouldnt be a reason !

Sandeep said...

Please post the meaning of the song. I guess its about a morni crying........ because hunters killed her beloved(mor/peacock)

Spectator said...

no, that's not true.

the literal meaning is:

Mom is asking to her daughter why you look tensed. The daughter answers the peacock in the woods are shouting a lot and i aint able to sleep. The mom says don't worry someday hunters are gonna kill them. The daughter resists against that.

The daughter asks why does the stars and moon go and what happens to the love for the dears. Again, the mom answers they just hide for times, but nothing happens to them. They are always there when we need.
