I am doing a project for a university course and I would really like to know the meaning of the lyrics of the two bandishes below. The texts are retrieved from this page: https://www.swarganga.org/
1. kahe sakhee kaiseke kariye bariye dina aise laalana ke samga
suna ree sakhe maim kaa kahoom tose unahee ke jaanata hoo dhamga
2. aao aao aao balamaa darasa bina moraa jiyaa ghabaraave dina beetaa bhayee saamjha hovana laagee raina naa aaye chaina piya inaayata jaaoom tope vaaree
Thank you for helping me!
This is wonderful! Thank you soooo much. I read in a paper that in a khayal performance, the text of the bandish from bara khayal and that from chota khayal should be convergent in meaning and I wanted to verify if this was indeed the case in a performance that I am currently analyzing. I would like to know one more thing :) Are the compositions in khayal usually referred to as "bandish" or "ciz"?
