AAVELA – Mota Ram ║ BackPack Studio™ (Season 2) ║ Indian Folk Music – Rajasthan

This song successfully captures the significance of time in our lives and its lyrics are meant to evade our foolish tendency to take it for granted. We put too much value on material things and ignore our responsibilities towards the progressive evolution of our society as well as spiritual evolution of our minds while we miss out of the essential experiences that may shape our futures into a more fulfilling and meaningful span of time.

Lyrics –

Ratna amolak
(A precious gem)

Miliyo bhaari
(Is difficult to get)

Kaanch samajhkar
(Don’t mistake it with glass)

Diyo daari
(Don’t waste it, ignorant human!)

Hari kaanch samajhkar
(Don’t waste your time)

Diyo daari
(Don’t waste it, ignorant human!)

Ye peeche khoj fire anaadi
(Chasing the insignificant things in life)

Fir kabhu hani paavela
(This precious time will never come back again)

Hari fir kabhu hani paavela
(Never come back again)

Pachtavela bagsavela
(You will regret)

Tera bela haath nahi aavela
(But the lost time will never come back again)

Tera bela haath nahi aavela
(But the lost time will never come back again)

Pachtavela bagsavela
(You will regret)

Hariii
(Hey Almighty)

Nadia kinare baag laga
(You have planted trees near the river)

Nadia kinare baag laga
(Thinking they will grow themselves)

Gaphal soye gayo thandi chaaya
(But you are busy comforting yourself)

Gaphal soye gayo thandi chaaya
(Who will look after the tender trees?)

Chug chug chidiya fal sab khayo
(The birds have destroyed the saplings)

Chug chug chidiya fal sab khayo
(The birds have destroyed the saplings)

Khali to khetar aankela
(Now the whole plant)

Pachtavela bagsavela
(You will regret)

Tera bela haath nahi aavela
(But the time lost will never come back again)

Tera bela haath nahi aavela
(But the time lost will never come back again)

Pachtavela bagsavela
(You will regret)

Hariii
(Hey Almighty)

Retan ka ye mehel banaya
(You have built a house of sand)

Retan ka ye mehel banaya
(You have built a house of sand)

Kar kar jatan jalap japave
(You have worked so hard to build it)

Kar kar jatan jalap japave
(You have worked so hard to build it)

Pal mobirkha aan girave
(Within a blink of an eye, rain will wash it off entirely)

Pal me barkha aan girave
(Within a blink of an eye, rain will wash it off entirely)

Haath masal ghar javela
(You will have to go back home empty handed)

Haath masal ghar javela
(You will have to go back home empty handed)

Pachtavela bagsavela
(You will regret)

Tera bela haath nahi aavela
(But this time, it will never come back again)

Tera bela haath nahi aavela
(But this time, it will never come back again)

Pachtavela bagsavela
(You will regret)

Hariii
(Hey Almighty)

Lagiyaa bazaar nagar ke mahi
(There is a market being held inside the city)

Lagiyaa bazaar nagar ke mahi
(There is a market being held inside the city)

Sab cheeze mile sukh dayi
(And you will get all good things there)

Sab cheeze mile sukh dayi
(And you will get all good things there)

Brahmananda khareed li bhayi
(Brahmanand has bought those good things)

Begi dukaan uthavela
(Go human, hurry! The market is going to close soon)

Pachtavela bagsavela
(You will regret)

Tera bela haath nahi aavela
(But this time, it will never come back again)

Tera bela haath nahi aavela
(But this time, it will never come back again)

Pachtavela bagsavela
(You will regret)
