Holi 2017 Songs

Holi Songs

Holi Songs are an extremely essential part of festival of colors. Nobody has realized this fact better than our famous film industry.
Folk touch in various Holi song of Bollywood movies have made them all the more popular amongst the masses so much so that the famous Holi numbers have become as much essential part of Holi celebrations as the colours itself.
There are numerous other Holi songs which have made their mark and have become a must when it comes to Holi celebrations. These songs have wonderfully captured the spirit of Holi and helped to further the story of movie by bringing hero and heroine closer.
Bollywood has typically portrayed the mood of Holi from time to time. Hero and heroine getting drenched in colour waters accompanied by hundreds of dancers making merry in the background.
No Holi celebration can be complete without the famous Amitabh Bachchan number from the film Silsilay. Rang Barse...the song has become the Holi anthem of India.
An attempt was made to duplicate the magic of that song about two decades later with Mr Bachchan again in the movie Baghbaan, by incorporating the famous folk song- Holi khele Raghubeera..awadh mein Holi khele Raghubeera. The song was an instant success...but no song it seems can manage to reach the height of Rang barse..penned by Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
In the festival which does not recognises any restrictions, the hero, Amitabh openly flirts with his girlfriend, Rekha in front of his wife, Jaya and her husband, Sanjeev Kumar. There was so much fun in that song just as it there in the festival of Holi. Anybody immersed in the spirit of Holi with automatically start humming that number.

Rang Barse lyrics

Rang barse.. bheege.. chunar wali rang barse
Arey keene maari pichkaari, tori bheegi angiya
O rangrasia rangrasia, ho!
Rang barse, arey rang barse bheege chunar wali rang barse...
Rang barse...
Sone ki thaari mein jyona parosa
Arey! sone ki thaari mein jyona parosa
Arey, khaaye gauri ka yaar, Balam tarse, rang barse
O, Rang barse bheege chunar wali, rang barse...
Launga ilaichi ka
Arey launga ilaichi ka bhai
(Haan, Launga ilaichi ka)
Arey launga ilaichi ka beeda lagaya
Haan, launga ilaichi ka beeda lagaya
Arey chaabe gauri ka yaar, balam tarse, rang barse
O, Rang barse bheege chunar wali, Rang barse...
Arey! Bela chameli ka... sej bichhaya
Arey! Bela chameli ka sej bichhaya
Bela chameli ka sej bichhaya (Bela chameli ka sej bichhaya)
Arey! Bela chameli ka
Haan, Bela chameli ka sej bichhaya
Sove gauri ka yaar, balam tarse, rang barse

O, Rang barse bheege chunar wali, Rang barse...
O Rang...

Balam pichkari lyrics

Balam pichkari jo tune mujhe maari
Toh bole re zamana kharabi ho gayi
Mere ang raja, jo tera rang laga
Toh seedhi-saadi chhori sharabi ho gayi
Itna maza, kyun aa raha hai
Tune hawa mein bhaang milaya
Itna maza, kyun aa raha hai
Tune hawa mein bhaang milaya
Dugna nasha, kyun ho raha hai
Aankhon se meetha tune khilaya
Ho teri malmal ki kurti gulabi ho gayi
Manchali chaal kaise nawaabi ho gayi, toh?
Balam pichkari jo tune mujhe maari
Toh seedhi saadi chhori sharaabi ho gayi
Haa Jeans pahen ke jo tune maara thumka
Toh lattoo padosan ki bhabhi ho gayi (x2)
Teri kalaai hai, haathon mein aayi hai
Maine maroda toh lagti malaai hai
Mehenga padega ye chaska malaai ka
Upvaas karne mein teri bhalaai hai
Ho bindiya teri mehtaabi ho gayi
Dil ke armaanon mein behisaabi ho gayi
Balam pichkari jo tune mujhe maari
Toh seedhi saadi chhori sharaabi ho gayi
Haa Jeans pahen ke jo tune maara thumka
Toh lattoo padosan ki bhabhi ho gayi (x2)
Kyun ’no-vacancy‘ ki, hothon pe gaali hai
Jabki tere dil ka kamra toh khaali hai
(kamra toh khaali hai...)
Mujhko pata hai re
Kya chahata hai tu
Boli bhajan teri
Neeyat Qawwali hai
Zulmi ye haazir-jawaabi ho gayi
Tu toh har taale ki aaj chaabi ho gayi, toh?
Balam pichkari jo tune mujhe maari
Toh seedhi saadi chhori sharaabi ho gayi
Haa, Jeans pahen ke jo tune maara thumka
Toh lattoo padosan ki bhabhi ho gayi (x2)
Haan, bole re zamana kharabi ho gayi

Hari keele Raghuveera lyrics

Taal se taal mile more babua, Baje dhol mridang
Man se man ka meel jo ho toh
Rang se mill jaaye rang
Hori khele raghuveera
Hori khele Raghuveera avadh mein
Hori khele Raghuveera...
Hilmil aave, Log lugaai...
Bhai mahalan mein bhira avadh mein, hori khele Raghuveera
Hori khele raghuveera avadh mein, hori khele Raghuveera...
Tanik sharam nahi aye, dekhe naahi apni umariya
Saath baras mein ishq ladaye...
Saath baras mein ishq ladaye...
Mukhde pe rang lagaye. Bada rangeela saanwariya...
Chunri pe dale abhira avadh mein, hori khele raghuveera...
Arey hori khele raghuveera avadh mein, hori khele raghuveera
Hilmil aavein log-lugaai
Bhai mahalan mein bhira avadh mein, hori khele raghuveera
Hori khele raghuveera avadh mein, hori khele raghuveera...
Aab ke phaag mose khelo naa hori
Haan... haan na khelat... na khelat
Tori shapat main umariya ki thori
Haay... haay... chacha
Dekhe hai upar se jhanke nahi andhar sajaniya...
Umr chadhi hai, dil to jawaan hai
Umr chadhi hai bhaiya dil to jawaan hai
Baahon mein bharke mujhe zara jhanka de paizaniya...
Saachi kahe hai kabira avadh mein, hori khele raghuveera...
Arey.. hori khele raghu...
Hori khele raghuveera avadh mein
Hori khele raghuveera...
Hilmil aave Log-Lugai...
Bhai mahalan mein bhira avadh mein, hori khele raghuveera
Hori khele raghuveera avadh mein, hori khele raghuveera...

Rango Mein Rang Mil Jaate Hain

Holi Around the World

Holi Around the World

Holi knows no bars, Holi knows no boundaries too. Across the world wherever Indians or people of Indian origin are present Holi is celebrated with gusto and bonhomie. People play with colours, light a bonfire called Holika and celebrate the victory of good over evil.
Nobody realizes the importance of celebrating festivals than the Indians settled abroad away from their country and cultural roots. At times they are more eager to celebrate festivals than their Indian counterparts. For celebrating festivals is what binds the people of Indian origin together and also to their roots.
Well, the essence of any festival is to take a break from the daily humdrum of life and make it interesting. The other major intention of celebrating festival is to bring people together and generate a feeling of brotherhood and spread harmony all around.
Just as in India, people settled abroad meet their friends and exchange sweets and greetings. Of course, the revelry is no less when it comes to colours.

Holi in Bangladesh

Bengal region has a multifaceted culture due to the influence of Buddhist, Hindus and Muslim cultures. Though the country is Muslim dominated, Hindus too celebrate their festivals with gaiety.

Indian culture has influenced Bangladesh a lot as the country is nestled in the crook of the Bay of Bengal and is surrounded by India. It shares a border in the south-east with Myanmar and fronts onto the Bay of Bengal. The country is flat and dominated by the braided strands of the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Jamuna delta. Bangladesh's Muslims and Hindus live in relative harmony.

Of course, the pomp and show of Holi as witnessed in India is missing, nevertheless, celebrations do take place. Hindu community gather in temples and exchange greetings with each other and play with colours.

Holi in Mauritius

Holi also celebrates the arrival of Spring, a season of joy and hope. The joys of Holi knows no bound. The festival is celebrated across the four corners of India or rather across the globe. 

Legend of Holi Festival

Holi is one of the oldest festivals of India. There are many interesting stories associated with the festival's origin as one moves across the different states from North to South and East to West. Paintings and scriptures depict the roots of the festival. Mythology plays a very important part in narrating the festival of Holi. The most popular stories of Holi origin relates to 'Holika Dahan' and Legend of Radha-Krishan.


Story of Radha Krishna

The legend of Radha and Krishna is closely linked with this tradition of colors on Holi. Young Krishna, who had a dark complexion was jealous of his beloved Radha's extremely fair skin. In a mischievous mood, he applied color on Radha's face. Following this ancient legend, lovers till date long to color their beloved as an expression of love.

Story Of Holika

Integrally entwined with Holi, is the tradition of 'Holika Dahan', which is actually lighting of bonfires. The ritual is symbolic of victory of good over evil and has its root in the legend of demon king Hiranyakashyap who wished to end his blessed son, Prahlad's life with the help of his sister, Holika who burnt in the fir and no harm occurred to Prahlad. Since then the day is celebrated in victory of good over bad.

Holi Celebrations in India

Holi is famous as Basant Utsav in rural India. It is one of the major festivals in India and is celebrated with extreme enthusiasm and joy. Gulal, abeer and pichkaris are synonymous with the festival. Elaborate plans are made to color the loved ones. Everybody wants to be the first one to color the other. In the ensuing battle of colors, everybody is drowned not just in colors of gulal but also in love and mirth. People love to drench others and themselves in colored water. Gujiyas and other sweets are offered to everyone who comes across to color.
Temples are beautifully decorated at the time of Holi. Idol of Radha is placed on swings and devotees turn the swings singing devotional Holi songs. Now-a-days small plays are organized reflecting the spirit of the festival.
What is remarkably same across the country is the spirit of Holi. Fun, frolic, boisterousness to the extent of buffoonery marks this festival of colors. What more can be expected- when the people get a social sanction to get intoxicated on the bhang, open not just their hearts' out but also their lungs. And viola, nobody is expected to take offense too, as the norm of the day is, 'Bura na mano Holi hai'.
