Paroles et traduction Prasnasunya - Baaje

Baaje

Pidi maa basera
Bidi lai kasera
Masta hudeichha dhuwaa maa
Baje ko byatha ta
Hamilai k thaha ta
Hami ta aafnei duniya maa
Tara niyaaldeichhu ti aankhaa
Dekhchhu haraayeko uu
Danda Pakha

Namlo ra doko maajha
Dui din ko bhoko aaja
Baaje ta hairaan pardeichha
Aago nabalne ho ki
Baljhideichha hai khoki
Bhandei usko mann mardeichha
Ani jhardeichha aanshu feri
Pardeshi chhora ko
Bato Heri

Aaja hera uu galdeichha
Heri dine koi chhaina
Eklo uu ekaanta maa
Usko mann jastei baldeichha

Paraal ko tyo chhano
Vaisakyo Puraano
Aafanta sabei biraano

Baaje (The Old Man)

Grandpa sits on the porch,
Cigarette in hand, of course.
Lost in the smoke's embrace,
The old man's pain,
I can't explain.
Lost in my own world's space,
Yet my eyes are drawn to his face.
I see the lost
Danda Pakha (Kindred Spirit)

Between the carrying pole and basket's fray,
Two days of hunger hold sway.
The old man looks bewildered, astray.
Will the fire not light today?
Weakness grips him in its hold, they say.
His spirit seems to fade away.
And tears fall down his face like rain,
The wanderer's
Path I See (Difficult Journey)

Today, look, he's weeping low,
No one to comfort his woe.
Alone in his solitude's flow,
His heart burns with a silent glow.

That straw-thatched roof above,
So very old, so full of love.
Yet all his loved ones are gone, up above.
