KABHI SIYALA PAKHON RITU - Shiksha & Group - ║BackPack Studio™ (Season 7)║Folk Music - Uttarakhand

This evocative Garhwali song captures the loneliness and despair of a daughter in a land turned barren. As she walks the dry hills and valleys, memories of greenery haunt her. With no birdsong, no shade, and no water, even the sparrows have fled. Her cries echo unanswered through the silence, as she pleads with her mother—not to marry a daughter into such lifeless soil. A haunting ode to desolation and longing.

Lyrics -

Kabi siyala ponwa ritu
(Sometimes the cold misty season arrives)

Kabi tyala gham
(Sometimes the sun blazes harshly)

Ghas ni ch daali maaji
(There’s no grass on the branches, mother)

Ye lola danda ma
(In these bare and dry hills)

Maata ki haryali dandi
(On the green slopes of my motherland)

Dhar ma dikhda
(I see the valley below)

Tyapyun rendu maaji
(My tears keep falling, mother)

Aansu ni thame
(But they don’t stop)

Saansu ko dhera ku ghaso
(The fear of loneliness creeps in)

Bheru… bheru jaandu
(It follows me everywhere)

Rukhak ni jaandi maaji
(Like a shadow that never leaves, mother)

Daydu ni raadu
(Like a bird lost in the wind)

Na kaafue barad yakh
(Not even the cold fog reaches me)

Na ghughuti ghar
(Nor the Ghughuti bird calls)

Kaema duy rekha maaji
(Which path should I take, mother?)

Chaukulu bhi door-door
(Even sparrows have flown away)

Rukha danda, sookh chhaya
(Dry trees and faded shade)

Chhen neecha paani
(There’s no water below)

Ye lola muluk maaji beti
(This land is barren, mother)

Beti ni bigwaani
(Don’t wed a daughter here)
