બાળગીત – ચતુર કાગડાની વાર્તા (BaaLgeet – chatur kaagaDaa-nee vaartaa) …. Live ….
ઊંડું પાણી કુંજનું | oonDu(n) paaNee kunjnu(n)
ઊપર લેવા કાજ | oopar levaa kaaj
કંકર નાખી કાગડે | kankar naakhee kaagaDe
પાણી પીધું આજ | paaNee peedhu(n) aaj
ધીરજ ને ચતુરાઈથી | dheeraj ne chaturaaee-thee
કામ કઠણ જે હોય | kaam kathhaN je hoy
જલ્દી પાર મૂકાય છે | jaldee paar mukaay chhe
ભલે કરે સહુ જોઈ | bhale kare sahu joee
This is the Gujarati Rhyme on the story of the clever thirsty crow who drops pebbles in the partly filled pot / pitcher of water to raise the water level and quench his thirst.
This eight line song also describes the importance of patience and cleverness. The last four lines of the song say that a difficult work can be accomplished promptly with the help of patience and cleverness. This fact is there to be applied in life and realized for each and every person !!!
I have learned this song from my mother. I never got to learn Gujarati as a subject in school or college. I am self-taught and home-taught as far as Gujarati is concerned 🙂 🙂 It has been a wonderful experience indeed !!
