kī kahū pahu paradesh gel sajanī ge
kī kahū pahu paradesh gel sajanī ge - 2
kī kahū kichhu nae sohāy sajanī ge - 2

sūtak sej bikham san sajanī ge - 2
takiā mohī nae sohāy sajanī ge - 2
phujal kesh nīr bahu sajanī ge - 2
kājar gel dahāy sajanī ge - 2
katek divas par āol sajanī ge - 2
purushak nahi bisvās sajanī ge - 2

Song Description

Batgabani is a melodious folk song sung by women of Mithila while walking along the winding village pathways. Recognized by its refrain “Sajani Ge,” this song carries gentle waves of ascending and descending notes, expressing both union and separation in a captivating manner. In the song, the heroine is distressed because her beloved has gone away to foreign lands. She tells her friend that without him, the courtyard feels empty and desolate, the bed no longer brings comfort, and even the kohl in her eyes has flowed away with tears. She wonders anxiously when he will return - for trusting men is never easy. The emotions of longing and the uncertainty of reunion are delicately woven into the tender melody of this song.
