Yatendra Gaur is famous Garhwali lyricist and poet. Yatendra Gaur released a few cassettes discs too.

There are many folk songs in Garhwali. However, now, due to Hindi medium education, folk songs related to children are gone in history books.
Before, Yatendra Gaur, Dharmendra Negi published Garhwali story lyrics collections. Abodh Bandhu Bahuguna and Puran pant Pathik published children poetry collections. Many Garhwali poets published children lyrics here and there but in organized way.

There are various subject types of lyrics in Jhumpa as spiritual (Ma Saarsuti, Myar Mab), relationship ( Bwe Bab, Bwe ki ladali, Bwe); domestic animals (Bachhi meri baurani );animals (Machi tulak, Guni bandar, Aija ghughti); mother’s call ( Myara Biji ja); learning counting and other mathematical puzzles ( Awa ginti gava ); nature (Kandali, Himalai ); lullaby (Lori); festivals (Pandra August, Hori); patriotism , psychology (Supin); great people, fantasy, mental disciplines children related items as ghutya and many more subjects halya etc.
The language of each lyric is very simple and children may sing and understand easily.
फूल रंगिलो फुलेरी रंगिलो
हर्याळी ऋतू मा फुलदेई रंगिलो
(फुलदेई गीत )
Or
ग्यानि ध्यानि स्वाणो सुभौ, द्य्वता सि समान छया
संतों को सि खाणु पैरणु , मनिख उ महान छया
(कलाम त्वे तैं सलाम , गीत से )
Yatendra Guar used dialogues types in many lyrics ( Patt geet, Jhamm Jhamle ) ) too as -
भरत –डाळी डाळी फल फूलों की लदकद हुयी झम्म झमलै
गाढ़ी त्वोड़ी ल्हौंलू त्वेकू थौला भ्वोरि - झम्म झमलै
शकुन्तला – आज त्वेकू पक ऐ धरीं लस्प्सी खीर - झम्म झमलै
