Folk Music of India, Meghalaya
Translations - Kyntiew Burom War

The Music that I love
The Music that I love
The Music that sends me deep in thought
It calls to me, It leads me
It's as old as time
And it will last beyond the 4 seasons
It springs from the depths of the Earth
It flows from the heart of the Duitara (traditional guitar)
You can hear it's echo in nature
Feel it soar from within the Duitara
It seeps into the veins
It moves into the soul
Gently, very gently
it will spreads it's wings
and come to rest,
on the water,
the land
and the wind
From these 4 simple strings
made of delicate silk,
it plays in my head.
It sings in my heart
It makes me yearn.
Just like the flow of water
an endless circle.
Night or day,
it moves on its own.
