Veero Kudiye song meaning
The lyrics of the song reflect the theme of affection, loyalty, love and joys of life to have with your partner. The song showcases various taboos and restrictions that are meant to be followed on the day of the Karwa Chauth for the women who are fasting. The lyrics of the song emphasise certain actions that are linked to the grand celebrations.
The phrase “Kumbh charakhra feri naa” instructs women not to engage in weaving or stitching clothes during the fast. Another line, “ruthda maniyen naa,” translates to the idea that women should not attempt to placate anyone who may be upset with them on this auspicious day. When we sing ‘Suthra Jagayi Naa’ highlights the expectation that women should refrain from waking anyone who is asleep, indicating respect for rest and tranquillity on this sacred day.
In the second part of the song, it alludes to lifting the restrictions, making it a sign of completion of fast. After the fasting period ends, women often experience a sense of relief and joy, marking the transition from restriction to celebration.
The song not only reflects the customs surrounding Karwa Chauth but also serves as a reminder of the cultural heritage that shapes the experiences of women in India.
