ऐसो मन होय उठाय लेउँ कनिया | Aiso Mana Hoya (Shakuntala Ji)

A beautiful song from Braj sung by Shakuntala Ji. Brief translation given below: aiso mana hoya uthaya leun kaniya (I am tempted to embrace little Krishn to my heart) badi badi ankhiyan bado bado kajaro, aiso mana hoya lagaun alakaniya (His large eyes are beautified further with large amounts of collyrium. I wish to fondly hug Him) kaanan kundala ati bhala sohe, aiso mana hoya lagaun latakaniya (His ears are adorned with beautiful earrings. I further wish to adorn Him with more jewellry) peet jhangulia jhala-mala jhalake, aiso mana hoya pehnaun kachhaniya (His peetambar is shimmering brightly. I wish to adorn Him further with a 'kachhani' on His waist) kati-kinkini paga-payal sohe, aiso mana hoya lagaun runajhuniya (His wearing a waistlet and His feet are adorned with anklets. I wish to decorate Him with more jingling ornaments) thumuki thumuki mero angana mein dole, aiso mana hoya pehnaun penjaniya (His gait is enchanting as He is tumbling in the courtyard. I wish to adorn Him with tiny bell-filled anklets) suno hari! meri mana ki ye batiyan, aiso mana hoya lagaye leun kaniya (O Lord, listen to this request of mine. I wish to embrace you to my heart!) -- Recorded in Mangarh, late 1980s
