piyaa binaa soona laage des
saavan aavan kahi gayo
kar gayo kaun fareb
gidta gidta ghis gayo mariyo galion ki ret
piyaa bin soona laage des…
Meaning of Rajasthani folk song: Piya bina soona laage des
In the sandy deserts of Rajasthan, a girl sings that her beloved had promised to return to the village and her in the rainy season. Without him, she finds her homeland lonely.
(Rajasthan gets little if any rain! Rain is symbolic of hope and happiness especially in the desert.) She continues to narrate her pain and dissapointment that she is still waiting, walking the sandy lanes… No rain, no beloved…
