Give it a listen.  It belongs to  the category : *Song-I-Cannot-Get-Out-Of-My-Head*. Brilliantly composed  by Rehman,giving  touch of Rap to a folk song. Straight off, the lyrics caught my attention . While most of  the words are easy to comprehend for the person with decent understanding of Hindi, the analogy of Sasuraal to Genda Phool ( Marigold) took some time to agnize.  I belive, this is what  lyricist is trying to convey :-   A marigold flower looks colorful , attractive with  plenty of palattes, but it does not have smell. Simlarly  in-law's place  brings a number of new relations to the newly wed bride, but they  lack warmth and love, the very essential element of any relationship.

Guys, what do you think ?


Saiyaan ched dewe,
Nanad chutki leve,
Sasural genda phool,

Saas gaari deve,
Devar samjha leve,
Sasural genda phool,

Chora babul ka angana,
Bhaave deraa piya ka ho,

Saas gaari deve,
Dewar samjha leve,
Sasural genda phool,

Saiyaan hai vyapaari,
Chale hain pardes,
Sooratiyaan niharu,
jiyara bhaari howe,
Sasural genda phool…

Saas gaari deve,
Dewarji samjha leve,
Sasural genda phool,

Saiyaan ched dewe,
Nanad chutki leve,
Sasural genda phool…

Choda babul ka angana,
Bhaave deraa piya ka ho,

Bu shirt pahine,
khayee ke bida paan,
Poore Raipur se alag hai,
Saiyaan ji ki shaan,
Sasural genda phool,

Saiyaan ched dewe,
Nanad chutki leve,
Sasural genda phool,

Saas gaari deve,
Dewarji samjha leve,
Sasural genda phool,

Chora babul ka angana,
Bhaave deraa piya ka ho..
