RAILIYA BAIRAN – Malvika Hariom & Group║BackPack Studio™ (Season 4)║Folk Music of India – UP

It is a lovely Viraha song. It is lovely even though it is a Virah because the rhythm is beautiful, very famous and popular. It is an old story where the wife is in the house and the husband goes out to work, they are not able to speak to each other as there were no phones or mobiles then. So, she waits for him eagerly during festivals but when he doesn’t get a leave from work then she curses the train and railway that has taken her husband away from her.

Lyrics –

Railiya bairan piya ko liye jaye re
(This train is my enemy, it takes my beloved away from me)

Railiya bairan
(This train is my enemy)

Jaun tikaswa se saiyyan mora jayi hain
(The ticket with which my husband is going)

Saiyyan mora jayi hain balma more jayi hain
(My husband is going)

Jaun tikaswa se saiyyan mora jayi hain
(The ticket with which my husband is going)

Paniya barse tikas gal jaye re
(I wish for rain so that the ticket get destroyed)

Railiya bairan
(This train is my enemy)

Railiya bairan piya ko liye jaye re
(This train is my enemy, it takes my beloved away from me)

Railiya bairan
(This train is my enemy)

Jaun sahariya ko saiyyan mora hain
(The city to which my husband is going)

Saiyyan mora jayi hain balma more jayi hain
(My husband is going)

Jaun sahariya ko saiyyan mora hain
(The city to which my husband is going)

Agiya laage sahar jari jaaye re
(I wish the fire beckons and burns the city down)

Railiya bairan
(This train is my enemy)

Railiya bairan
(This train is my enemy)

Railiya bairan piya ko liye jaye re
(This train is my enemy, it takes my beloved away from me)

Railiya bairan
(This train is my enemy)

Jaun sahabwa ke saiyyan mere naukar
(The senior for whim my husband works for)

Saiyyan mora naukar balma more naukar
(Where my husband works)

Goli laage ghayal kari jaaye re
(I wish he gets injured in a gun shot)

Railiya bairan
(This train is my enemy)

Railiya bairan piya ko liye jaye re
(This train is my enemy, it takes my beloved away from me)

Railiya bairan
(This train is my enemy)
