This is a lullaby chant about characters called Bui (grandma) and Drose (jellyfish). It literally tells a story of a Coqeloa, an endemic pigeon from Bua & Vanua Levu in Fiji. It is known in other parts of Fiji as Soqeloa. The lyrics of the lullaby relate the life of this beautiful bird with its beautiful melodies and soft tune. It could also have a colloquial/idiomatic meaning related to the life of a bird looking for life in wildlife associated with the geographical location of the baby’s home, village, clan, community, time, space, culture, heritage, history, and lifestyle.

Nadia: Baul Fakiri Gaan\nDo not look for God anywhere, look for Him in the human body. The Bauls & Fakirs are conveying the message of peace through their music, they reject division of caste, creed, religion etc. The Bauls are minstrels whose song and dance reflect the joy, love and longing for mystical union with the Divine. The Bauls believe that one can free oneself from earthly attachments through their philosophy. Murshid or Guru is the steersman who takes the devotee to God. They propound detachment from earthly bonds or ties.
