Abstract
Folk-songs are one of the oldest forms of literature and all the societies and cultures have their own heritage of Folk-songs. In this paper attempts have been made to describe the background of Hindi Folk-lore and then an English dictionary definition and description of the word Folk and Folk-lore have been given then we delve deep into the tradition of Brahui Folk-songs which have no written past and have been passing through generation by the singers. However, many Folk-poems have been distorted and twisted by the so-called intruders which have affected the purity of the Poem very badly. This malaise could be attributed to the absence of an institutional framework to compile and collect the original Folk-poems and publish them as an anthology. On distinct quality of Brahui Folk-songs have been deciphered i-e its first line has no direct connection with the second line. One word in the first line is chosen and for the sake of rhyming another line is created which has a different meaning. Another conspicuous quality of Brahui Folk-songs is that besides nature, it expresses a great deal about civilization and culture of the time. Some famous Brahui Folk-songs along with translations have also been given such as ‘Sauzo’ and ‘chotali’ which are very popular amongst the folks. The hallmark of Brahui Folk-songs is natural Phenomena depicted vividly with strong feelings.
