Balmarayo | Animated Music Video

A SearchKashmir production. 13th in the series.

A new audio-visual interpretation of Rasul Mir’s classic qalaam. The visuals are spin on works of Dali. The story is a bit of Adam-Eve, some elements of Joseph, and Dante. And then of course there is Kashmir. The Ka of water, the Ka of Kashyap the Kachua, the Ka of Kashmir.

Lyrics and translation

ba ti na yi durer chon zaray

This separation from you

I can no longer bear

bal marayo

surely I will die young

kyah karai thovtham zara zaray

bal marayo

cut to pieces, what to do?

surely I will die young

shahmar zulf nal wolnam

rood afsanay

Your snake tresses entangled me

all that remained was a tale

wyon wantam kem afsaan paray

Tell me, what other tales should I tell

bal marayo

surely I will die young

sharmanda karthas aftabo

kandharich zoon

I, moon of Kandahar was put to shame

by you, the brilliant sun

kaji chani gajisay lajisa daray

awaiting your hour, dissolved in your memory

bal marayo

surely I will die young

anyi gatti vaninam nani kathay

am lal faroshan

in darkness he revealed the naked truth

that dealer of precious stones

kani manz neyran jawharay

a stone split, a gem was revealed

bal marayo

surely I will die young
