Maati Oh Maati - Male Version Lyrics – Shaan | Gauraiya Live

Maati Oh Maati - Male Version Song Description

This song is the male version of "Maati Oh Maati", sung by Shaan, and it is from the movie Gauraiya Live, which stars Ada Singh and Omkar Das Manikpuri. The composer of this song is Sunjoy Bose, the lyricist is Seema Saini, and the music publisher is Zee Music Company. 

The lyrics of the song view the soil (Maati), or the earth, as a mother who is crying with sobs and then falls asleep while weeping. The lyricist says, "Hey Maati, tu bhi to ek maa hai" (Oh soil, you are also a mother), and "Meri nanhi pari teri hi god mein surakshit hai" (My little angel is safe in your lap alone). 

In the later lines, the singer describes his relationship with the soil, saying, "Tu adiyal hai aur main bhi ziddi hoon" (You are stubborn and I am stubborn too), "Main bhi teri hi tarah mitti ka bana hoon" (I too am made of earth, just like you), and "Tu mera saara dukh jaanti hai" (You know all my sorrows), which has fallen upon my heart like a mountain. Yet, paths are forged through rocks, a lamp stays lit even in storms, and the bird will chirp again. It will not scatter, it will not break. This song gives a beautiful message of love and faith towards the earth, and the resilience of life.
