Tuti Bajuda Ri Loom | टूटी बाजुड़ा री लूम | Lyrics ( English )

Rajasthani Culture is all about grace , elegance and values. I love my culture ; I have read a lot of poets but I found no parallels to Marwadi Folk Songs when it comes to romanticism. We Marwadis are good at hosting our guests ; You are a guest here and so do I have the responsibility to translate this beautiful folk lore ; I am confident that you will love it more after knowing the meaning. So this is a beautiful conversation between wind and a marwadi lady who is in her favourite marwadi Poshak ( Rajasthani Dress ) with all the jewellery decorated on her beautiful body. ( बाजूबंद ) Bajuband' or Armlet (also known as Ananta, Angada), it is a type of bracelet worn on the upper part of the arm , It has strings which hangs down with pearls ; making it heavy.

Lady starts complaining : 

टूटी बाजुड़ा री लूम लल लल उलझी उलझी जाये 

म्हारे पचरंगी लहरिया वालो पल्लो लहराये 

धीरे हालो ने बावरिया होल हालो नी बावरिया झालो सहो नहीं जाये 

Oh dear wind ! Just Be slow ; Be Calm. My Bajuband is heavy , It will break. When you blow fast ,  Strings of my Bajuband get entangled. When you blow fast , MY Pachrangi Lehariya ( Stola / used as  Chunri ) Starts waving. I cant bear you dear wind , Please be calm. 

Now the lady starts missing her husband : 

लागी प्यारी फूलवारी 

या तो झूम झूम गाये 

ल्याए गौरी रो संदेशो घर आवो नी सजन

बैरी आंसुड़ा रो हार बिखर नहीं जाये 

कोई चव री चुनरी पे सल पड़ जाये 

धीरे हालो ने बावरिया होल हालो नी बावरिया झालो सहो नहीं जाये 

Oh dear wind ! There are flowers all around singing and dancing ; But I think you have arrived from    the place where my love resides ; Because I can smell his love through you. Oh dear wind , you are a  kind messenger. I fear that the Necklace of tears will just fall apart. Oh dear wind please be calm , else  my wedding dress will get wrinkles. That dress is so dear to me and my love. Oh dear wind ! Just Be  slow ; Be Calm.

The lady is so connected with nature , so she praises : 

आई बिरखा री रूत 

झूमे सूर्यो पवन 

ल्याई सपना सुहाग 

बाजे हिवड़े रो तार म्हारो नथली रो मोती बिखर नहीं जाए 

म्हारे पचरंगी लहरियो रो पल्लो लहराये

धीरे हालो ने बावरिया होल हालो नी बावरिया झालो सहो नहीं जाये 

This is the season of Rains , this is the season of love Sun is dancing , when wind sings. I had a dream about my Suhag ( Husband ), O wind , you stop playing with strings of my heart. I fear that the pearls will fall down from my nose ring ; So blow slow , be calm Its a gift from my love. Oh dear wind ! Just Be slow ; Be Calm. My Bajuband is heavy , It will break. When you blow fast , Strings of my Bajuband get entangled. When you blow fast , MY Pachrangi Lehariya ( Stola / used as Chunri ) Starts waving. I cant bear you dear wind , Please be calm.
