Lyrics

berī-berī barajahun bābā se apan bābā,
jamunā me naiyā juni daih he ।
berī-berī barajahun bābā se apan bābā,
jamunā me naiyā juni daih he ।

ohi naiye autai ājan-bājan
ohi naiye atai bariāt he
ohi naiye autai samadhi bharuā ke beṭabā
luṭatai me sampati hajār he

duarahi luṭatai bābā gaiyā re mahisiā - 2
sampati tohar hajār he
anganahi luṭatai bābā beṭī se apan beṭī
sampati ke solaho singār he
maṛabahi luṭatai bābā beṭī se apan beṭī
sampati ke solaho singār he

Song Description

Kumar/Kumari songs are about unmarried boys and girls in Mithila. Parents remain anxious until their children are wed, with the greatest concern often centered on the marriage of daughters. In this song, a young girl pleads with her father, saying she does not wish to marry, fearing that her wedding will exhaust all his savings. The song also points to the dowry system, which places a heavy burden on the girl’s family.
