Chandaniya - Lori Lori

Shreya Ghoshal's 'Chandaniya - Lori Lori' is a tender and soothing lullaby that captures the essence of a mother's love and care for her child. The repetitive and calming refrain of 'लोरी लोरी लोर' (Lori Lori Lor) sets a tranquil tone, reminiscent of the gentle rocking motion used to lull a baby to sleep. This song is a beautiful representation of the universal act of singing lullabies, a practice that transcends cultures and generations.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a serene night, where the moon ('चंदनिया') is asked to hide and create a peaceful environment for the child to fall asleep. The mother wishes for her daughter to be enveloped in dreams ('निंदिया आँखों में आय') and to sleep soundly in her arms. This imagery is both comforting and protective, highlighting the mother's desire to shield her child from any harm and ensure her peaceful rest.

As the song progresses, the mother envisions a bright future for her daughter, hoping she becomes a queen ('मेरी मुन्निया रानी बन') and finds happiness without ever experiencing pain ('दर्द कभी न झेल'). This wishful thinking reflects the deep love and aspirations parents have for their children, wanting them to lead a life filled with joy and devoid of suffering. The gentle rhythm and soothing melody of the song, combined with Shreya Ghoshal's melodious voice, make 'Chandaniya - Lori Lori' a heartwarming and timeless lullaby that resonates with listeners of all ages.
