Maavan De Laadleyo

An original song written and sung by Kulwant Kaur Chann

Maavan De Laadleyo is a heartfelt Punjabi song written and sung by Kulwant Kaur Chann. It reflects the emotions of families separated by distance, especially those whose loved ones have left their homes in search of a better future.

The song speaks of the pain of separation, a mother's love, family memories and the longing to be together again.

It had already been shared and listened to for years before music was added, much later, to her original vocal recording.
