Maeri - Bhaire Baanvari - Bombay Jayashree

[shvbhm]

I came across an intersting song by Bombay Jayashree. Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xps-vMuL8Q

BJ has beautifully sung it! Can't stop listening to it

Can someone please share the lyrics/meaning of this song along with raga and tala? Please let me know the composer as well.

[Lakshman]

The song is sung in the pahADi dhun style.

mAyIrI main tO liyO gOvindO mOl
kOyI kahai halkO kOyI kahai bhAri liyOrI tarAjU tOl
kOyI kahai mUhndhO kOyI kahai suhndhO liyOrI amOlak mOl
vrndAvan kI kunj galin mEn liyOrI bajantA DOl
kOyI kahai gahrmEn kOyI kahai banmEn rAdhA kE sang kilOl
mIrA kE prabhu giridhar nAgar pUrva janmkE bOl

[vgovindan]

The version as sung by Lata -

mAyirI mainE gOvind lInO mOl
kOi kahE mehangO koi kahE sastO liyOrE tarAju tOl
kOi kahE kAlO kOi kahE ghOrO liyOrI amOlak mOl
kOi kahE ghar mEin kOi kahE van mEin rAdhAki sang khilOl
mIrA kE prabhu giridhar nAgar pAvat prEm ki mOl

O Mother, I have purchased gOvind
Some say costly, some say cheap, I have weighed the scale
Some say dark, some say fair, I got priceless worth
Some say in the house, some say in the grove, He plays in the company of rAdha
mIrA's Lord giridhar (mountain bearer) nAgar (literaly citizen), I got my Love's worth.
