Choti Choti Gaiya Lyrics English Translation • Meet Tripathi
Choti Choti Gaiya is a wonderfully simple and devotional Hindi bhajan. It captures the pure innocence of Lord Krishna’s childhood. Sung with gentle grace by Meet Tripathi, the song transports listeners to the pastoral lanes of Gokul. Its serene melody and calming rhythm make it an instant favorite, especially among young children.
The heart of the song’s appeal lies in the translation of the lyrics “Choti Choti Gaiya Chote Chote Gwal.” Its meaning is revealed through charmingly simple imagery. The lyrics, credited to Manish Tripathi and Traditional sources, paint a vivid picture with lines like “Aage Aage Gaiya Peeche Peeche Gwal” (cows in the front, cowherds in the back). This repetitive and descriptive structure creates a peaceful and endearing vision of “Madan Gopal” at the center of his idyllic world.
