Lamh Tera - Hitesh Sonik feat Raghubir Yadav, Coke Studio @ MTV Season 2

This is a folk song from Madhya Pradesh. In ancient times, the journey from one place to another would take days. People while travelling would then usually sing to ensure everyone is safe. This style of singing was called 'lum tera'. A member/group at the front of the caravan would sing loudly (lambi ter) and the members/groups at the end would sing back as a response, thereby ensuring connectivity.

Raghubir Yadav's rustic vocals enchant throughout!

Daras ki toh, behra bhae re

Behra bhai re , pat kholo

Chabile bhaurulal re

Meaning:

The poet is expressing her longing for a meeting with God in the initial verses, moving on to explaining
the longing for her love, her love that has left her for the love of Divine.

She says that her lover left her to become an ascetic; she feels her life is like that of a spinster, flowing
on... and lonely. She implores to God to take her along, breaking all the earthly bonds and crossing all
the obstacles on the path.

She says that her lover left for the hills without giving her any time to understand what was going on,
but now she feels that just like himself; he has also induced the yearning in her for love, so much so that
she also has become an ascetic in his love. She wonders where he has gone and requests the wind to
carry her message of yearning to him.
