Kir Leh Rawh - Shantanu moitra feat Mami Verte & Kaushiki Chakravarty, Coke Studio @ MTV Season 2

It is a song that literally says 'heal the world'. The song implies that humankind has made everything much more complicated today, what with the advent of technology. The Earth is no longer pristine & peaceful as God intended it to be.

The song talks about the need to make a change and go back to things the way they were -- simple, uncomplicated and peaceful. This song therefore is a plea to everyone to look for the beauty within and through the same kick start the process of change!

Lyrics:
Harsat, mangam, buaina lo thlenin
Khawvel sual doral lo hrang mahse
Harsat, mangam, buaina lo thlenin
Khawvel sual doral lo hrang mahse
Kal ngaihna hre lovin tlu mahla
Ngui leh chauh chang lo thlen ni ah chuan
Hmangaihtu hnenah lo kir leh rawh

Harsat, mangam, buaina lo thlenin
Khawvel sual doral lo hrang mahse
Harsat, mangam, buaina lo thlenin
Khawvel sual doral lo hrang mahse
Kal ngaihna hre lovin tlu mahla
Ngui leh chauh chang lo thlen ni ah chuan
Hmangaihtu hnenah lo kir leh rawh

Kare naina kare naina saachi baat kare
Kare naina kare naina kahe raar kare
Barse tarse tarse barse
Barse tarse tarse barse
Na lage jiyara tere bin sajana
Na kate ratiyan tere bin sajana
Aa bhi ja re aa bhi jaa re nithura na sata
Naina bheege bheege, aa bhi ja re, aa ja re

Hringnun par vullai a taur mange
Thamral mai tur an zawng phal lo la
Sual doral tin reng lo hrang mahse
I nun beidawngin chau thin mahla
Beiseina nei in harhla
Tanpuitu an awn englai pawhin

Harsat, mangam, buaina lo thlenin
Khawvel sual doral lo hrang mahse
Harsat, mangam, buaina lo thlenin
Khawvel sual doral lo hrang mahse
Kal ngaihna hre lovin tlu mahla
Ngui leh chauh chang lo thlen ni ah chuan
Hmangaihtu hnenah lo kir leh rawh

Harsat, mangam, buaina lo thlenin
Khawvel sual doral lo hrang mahse
Harsat, mangam, buaina lo thlenin
Khawvel sual doral lo hrang mahse
Kal ngaihna hre lovin tlu mahla
Ngui leh chauh chang lo thlen ni ah chuan
Hmangaihtu hnenah lo kir leh rawh!

Meaning:
The song is a thoughtful lyrical expression, which captures the essence of what we were verses where we are headed today. It is in Mizo, a native language of Mizoram, of North Eastern India.
The Poet reasons that, God made earth for a peaceful play of life. But by exploiting nature, mankind has disturbed its delicate peace and balance. The need of the hour now is to heal the damage...for it is progressively making simple things complicated, thereby increasing our struggles.
The poet urges everyone to understand that the beauty lies within and sooner we start to recognize and appreciate that fact, faster we would repair this outer imbalance!
Towards the end the poet expresses the need to reconnect with the One Above. His eyes can no longer bear the painful degradation of life and disintegration of Gods beautiful masterpiece, called Earth. His desperate heart longs for His kindness, love and healing touch!
