A BIRTH SONG OF BHILS

The Bhils have a few thousand folk songs or folk poetry to solemise their social and cultural events in day today life. Here is a folksong describing the birth event.

I shall order a swing for my child from Piyor (in-law's place)
O my husband, too young to be one!
I shall have a pond dug before your eyes,
For me to bathe in !
I shall fill the house with sumptuous beds,
And sleep peacefully on such sumptuous beds.
I shall order a swing for my child from piyor.
