I have compiled this video on clips from Madhubala and Raj Kapoor's 1st movie as a heroin NEEL KAMAL 1947. Today 23 Feb is Madhubala's death anniversary.
This is a delightful piece of NON FILM folk poetry by KL Saigal in which a very young gopi is addressing Krisna.
She tells him that, “I am is too young to play Holi with you. I am not mature, and still am under my mother’s supervision. This year, I have promised my mother that I will stay home during the festival of Holi, but watch out for next year, when I will show you how Holi is played. So please consider my age and excuse me for this season”.
The traditional play of Holi, first time after the betrothal of a girl or a boy, is an important family gathering of fun and joy. Especially in the northern states, the event of ‘Pehli Holi’, the first time this festival occurs after engagement/wedding or after birth of a child is an important occasion. So the gopi is telling Krishna that she is not yet of the age to be betrothed, and is still under the supervision of her mother. She will not be able to play with Him this year. But then she also leaves behind a promise of the next year, that she will play Holi with Him, ‘barjori’, with full enthusiasm. The simplicity and the innocence that is communicated through words, is very endearing.
The author and composer of this song is not listed, and in all probability, it’s origins are in the folk traditions of Braj, the land of Krisna.
Enjoy this wonderful reprisal of this folklore.
Lyrics
aaa
main jo dinan ki thhoree
piyaa morey maanat naahin
main jo dinan ki thhoree
piyaa morey maanat naahin
main jo dinan ki thhoree
kaachi kali ras nahin morey balmaa
khol dekho mori choli
aeyyyyy
kaachi kali ras nahin morey balmaa
khol dekho mori choli
jo ras hovey piyaa pe main chhidkoon
jo ras hovey to piyaa pe main chhidkoon
piyaa chatur main to bholi
piyaa morey maanat naahin
main jo dinan ki thhoree
arrey piyaa morey maanat naahin
main jo dinan ki thhoree
piyaa kahat tum chalo rangmahal mein
mori umar abhi bori
piyaa kahat chalo rangmahal mein
mori umar abhi bori
ab ko phaag mohey maan ko diyo re
par key ladoongi barjori
piyaa morey maanat naahin
jo dinan ki hoon main thhoree
