Holi Song

Syama Piya More Rangade Chunariya
This folk song is actually a 'bhajan' (devotional song) composed by Mira Bai, the famous devotee of Lord Krishna.

Syama piya more rangade chunariya

Aisi rangade ke ranga nahi chhute
Dhobiya dhoye chahe yeh sari umaria

Lal na rangaun main, hari na rangaun
Apane hi ranga mein rangade chunariya

Bina rangaye main to ghar nahi jaungi
Beet hi jaye chahe yeh sari umariya

Jal se patala kaun hai
Kaun bhumi se bhari
Kaun agana se tej hai
Kaun kajala se kari

Jala se patala jnana hai
Aur pap bhumi se bhari
Krodha agana se teja hai
Aur ik kalana kajala se kari

Mira ke prabhu giridhara nagara
Prabhu charanana mein
Hari charanana mein
Syama charanana mein lagi najaria


Rang Barase Bheege Chunarwali
One of the most popular Holi songs, the touch of eroticism and amorous teasing of the song made it extremely popular and was in league with the spirit of Holi.


Rang barase bhiige chunaravaalii, rang barase
Are kaine maarii pichakaarii, torii bhiigii angiyaa
O rangarasiyaa rangarasiyaa, ho
Rang barase bhiige chunaravaalii, rang barase ...

Sone kii thaalii mein jonaa parosaa
Are, sone kii thaalii mein, jonaa parosaa
Haan, sone kii thaalii mein jonaa parosaa

O rang barase bhiige chunaravaalii, rang barase ...

Laungaa ilaayachii kaa, are laungaa ilaayachii kaa
Laungaa ilaayachii kaa? haan!

Haan laungaa ilaayachii kaa biidaa lagaayaa
Chaabe gorii kaa yaar, balam tarase rang barase
Holi hai!

O rang barase bhiige chunaravaalii, rang barase ...

Belaa chamelii kaa, sej bichhaayaa

Soye gorii kaa yaar, balam tarase rang barase

O rang barase bhiige chunaravaalii, rang barase
