this is a song written and sung by drungtsho sherab dorji  Before I could appear over the mountains My daughter has reached this world The message of her mother is so sweet Though it is conveyed through the wind   My dear angel, I love you from my heart My faithful darling May not be soft as cotton But for bearing the birth with hardship Is truly a sign of loving my angel My dear angel, I love you from my heart My twinkly moony faced angel Is born to a poor father Though you are welcome to this world It’s sad for me to have a bad dream My dear angel, I love you from my heart Before I could appear over the mountains My daughter has reached this world The message of her mother is so sweet Though it is conveyed through the wind My dear angel, I love you from my heart

Consumption of thick butter and oil in the curry and sikam which is a favourite of almost all ma...
