Kawan batariya gailo….Needs meaning explanation of this bandish…Can anybody help
As per what my Guruji – Pt. Vijay Sardeshmukh would say, this Bandish is about a conversation between two women.
Kawan means ‘which’ and Bataraiya means ‘path’.
One lady is asking the other lady – While I had gone inside my house, someone came and stole my stuff lying out. Have you seen which way he has gone?
The second woman says that I had gone out to do my own work. There are so many ‘gallis’ (narrow lanes) here; not sure in which one he has gone!
The Lyrics are
स्थायी
कवन बटरिया गईलो माई (Kaban batariya gailo mai)
माई रे देहो बताई (Mai ri deho batayi)
इतही उत मोरा छुरवा गइलवा (Ithi ut mora churwa gailwa)
माई रे देहो बताई (Mai re deho batayi)
अन्तरा
लेने गयी सौदा अरे हाटवा रे (lene gayi sauda are haatwa re)
इतही गलिन में गईल कबनवा (ithi galin me gayil kabanwa)
