Setting the Background for Translating Lori

 

Any Harry Potter fan would tell you that there is no greater shield against evil than a mother’s love. In Bollywood films, the lullaby ("lori" in Hindi) has long been a powerful symbol of a mother's unconditional love. In the song from Munjya, Bittu, troubled by an evil spirit, finds solace in his grandmother Gita’s vow to protect him. The first verse mirrors the gentle soothing of a typical lullaby, lulling the child to sleep, but soon the lyrics shift, reflecting a fierce determination to ward off the darkness.

 

The list of iconic Bollywood lullabies is vast, but two of the most beloved are Nanhi Kali Sone Chali and Chanda Hai Tu. If you'd like a translation of any lullabies, feel free to drop a comment!

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Lori

 

The clouds form your cradle, on the moon your head lies

The clouds form your cradle, on the moon your head lies

For your quilt you have the starlit skies

I will kiss your forehead and sing songs for you

Of stories about fairies and tales of fireflies

 

It will not touch you this black magic spell

The shimmering moonlight will all evil quell

I will snuggle you tight against my protective bosom

As a pearl ensconced in an oyster shell 

 

From music of crickets, tunes I’ll devise

From music of crickets, tunes I’ll devise

 And percolate the air with unsung lullabies

 

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Lori from Munjya

 

Paalna Hai Baadlon Ka Takiya Chaand Ka

Paalna Hai Baadlon Ka Takiya Chaand Ka

Odhane Ko Taron Se Jada Yeh Aasmaa 

Tera Maatha Choom Ke Sunaaun Main Tujhe 

Pariyon Ki Kahani Jugnuon Ki Daastaan

 

Kaale Andhere Ye Tujhe Chhoo Na Paayein 

Jhilmil Chaandni Main Chiddak Doon Zara 

Jheene Se Aanchal Mein Tujhe Main Sahejoon

Moti Seepiyon Mein Rahe Jiss Tarah

 

Jhinguron Ki Sargamon Se Dhun Bana Ke Main

Jhinguron Ki Sargamon Se Dhun Bana Ke Main

Ghol Doon Hava Mein Ansuni Si Loriyaan
