Resham Firiri - Pop Version

I find listening to this song over and over! (Memories are hard to fade somehow. The mind is a funny thing.) Found so many different versions on the net.

Here's a rather poppish version:



Resham Firiri
Resham Firiri
Udayra Jauki Dadama Vanjyang Resham Firiri
Udayra Jauki Dadama Vanjyang Resham Firiri
Resham Firiri
Resham Firiri
Udayra Jauki Dadama Vanjyang Resham Firiri
Udayra Jauki Dadama Vanjyang Resham Firiri
[ My heart is fluttering like silk in the wind
I cannot decide whether to fly or sit on the hilltop ]
........
........
Ak nalay Banduk Duinalay Banduk Mirgalai Takayko
Ak nalay Banduk Duinalay Banduk Mirgalai Takayko
Mirgalai Mailay Takayko Hoina Mayalai Takayko
Mirgalai Mailay Takayko Hoina Mayalai Takayko
[ One-barrelled gun, two-barrelled gun, targeted at a deer
It's not the deer that I am aiming at, but at my beloved ]
........

[ The tiny baby calf is in danger at the precipice
I couldn't leave it there, let's go together, my love ]

Udayra Jauki Dadama Vanjyang Resham Firiri

(till fade)



A bunch of westerners have sung it in a really soulful manner here.
