Bihu bihu naam loi ahibo notun batsar — new year, new harvest, new hope.

The buffalo fight, the egg fight, the songs at dusk — Bihu keeps its old promises.

बिहू के ढोल की थाप में पूरा असम झूम उठता है।

Isn't it strange how one dance can hold an entire year's worth of hope?

Bihu nasoni feet move to a rhythm older than memory — may it never fade.
