CHARKHA – Sidhar Musician Band ║ BackPack Studio™ (Season 3) ║ Indian Folk Music – Rajasthan
This song is symbolic of the Indian culture especially in essence, the charkha, which is a representation of time that keeps flowing with a pause. The charkha, in this song, has been described as a tool of earning a livelihood. Its significance lies in its ability to feed a whole family and run the house.
Ho bhala jiyo bhala mhaare ghar ko maalik tu
(Hey spinning yard you’re the owner of the house)
Ho ho bhom charakhla mhaare ang dhoki lo tu, ho ho bhom charakhla hoye bhom charakhla
(Hey great spinning wheel you provide me with clothes to cover my body)
Een charkhe re kaarane nandan ne paranaaye laalji nandan ne parnaaye mhaare hiwde hath dalaai
(Hey great spinning wheel, you feed the guest at my sister-in-law’s wedding)
Mhaare hiwde haath dalaai mhaare ghar ko maalik tu ho ho bhom charakhla
(You gave me the courage to run my home, Oh great spinning wheel)
Mhaare ang dhoki lo tu ho ho bhom charakla hoye bhom charakhla
(Hey great spinning wheel you provide me with clothes to cover my body)
Ho bhala jiyo bhala mhaare ghar ko maalik tu ho ho bhom charakhla mhaare ang dhoki lo tu ho ho bhom charakhla hoye bhom charakhla
(Hey great spinning wheel you provide me with clothes to cover my body)
15 baras su saajan aayo 1 rupiyo laayo laalji 1 rupiyo laayo 1 rupiyo laayo
(My beloved has arrived after 12 years and brought a rupee)
Nanand bhojayi dekhne laage laalji khoto bind kahlayo laalji khoto bind kehlata laalji khoto bind kehlata
(My sister-in-laws judge my helpless husband who could only bring a rupee, they think they are better at earning and running the home)
Mhaare ghar ko maalik tu ho ho bhom charakhla mhaare ang dhoki lo tu ho ho bhom charakhla hoye bhom charakhla
(Hey great spinning wheel you provide me with clothes to cover my body)
