                   Kenyan Folk Song depicting pain of childlessness or barrenness woman

  

          Pain of barren woman is universal phenomenon. Johan Tyman describes in length a Kenyan folktale/folk song about a woman’s prayer from a barren (childless woman) woman as-

O thou who is worshipped remember this debt

The debt that cows do not pay

Tree branches that I cut do not pay

The water I fetch for him does not pay

If I go inside well it does not pay

It is only the human child that would pay it

रवांइ, उत्तरकाशी  , देहरादून गढ़वाल क्षेत्र  के  प्रचलित   रंवाल्टी  लोक गीत- 36   




                   सामजिक विषमताओं के रवांल्टी लोक गीत  

(सन्दर्भ: महावीर रंवाल्टा, 2011, उत्तराखंड में रंवाइ क्षेत्र के लोक साहित्य की मौखिक परंपरा, उदगाता )  
( इंटरनेट प्रस्तुति  एवं अतिरिक्त व्याखा - भीष्म कुकरेती )

एक स्त्री -
क्या बाले उमली दुमली क्या तेर गळठिऊ जोल,
जू तेर मन कु केरद तेइ मू मा बोल।
दूसरी स्त्री -
क्या मुंई उमली दुमली क्या मेर गळठिऊ जोल
पेट क मेरु ना जाईल सासुड़ी मारंदी बोल। 

A Woman to other –

Sister1 why are you so weak?

Sister! Why your face is so grim?

Tell me reason for you being sad.

Replay from other woman-

Should I speak about my weakness?

Should I tell about my face being grim?

I don’t deliver child.

My mother in law harasses me and taunts too for my barrenness.
