maen maen the live goat bleats

in death her gut-string fluffs cotton 

to weep ~ tuhi tu tuhi tu

Hindi translation by Rebba Singh. Posted on Thu, Jun 19th 2008, 05:14

maen maen karray zindaa bakari

marray toh aanntt dhunnay rooeen

roae ~ tuhi tu tuhi tu


  


Comments
the ancient method of fluffing cotton-wool is called dhunnaai...

the string is made of sheep or goat intestines...

the busy string makes a constant sound...tuhi tu tuhi tu tuhi tu...only you only you only you...none but you none but you...(Lord)
the opposite of the bleating of a live goat...maen maen....(the selfish) "I" "I"...me my mine...
