One of my current favorite songs is “Tu raja ki raj dulaari .. ” from the movie Oye Lucky, Lucky Oye! Check it out here …
The general meaning of the song is that it tries to emulate the conversation between Shiv and Parvati when Parvati (a princess) proposed to Lord Shiva (a monk). He says that you are a princess whereas I am just a monk who is barely clothed, has no belongings, lives a harsh life, eats ash, has snakes on his shoulder etc. and she should look for someone else, someone rich.
There are several other popular songs that follow this conversation such as Bam Lehri (by Kailash Kher, latest album) and Maye ni Maye (Hum Apke Hain Kaun). I assume it must be a folk tradition to use this incident as an allegory for class difference among lovers
Heres the interpretation of the song:
1) Tu Raja Ki Raj Dulari, Main Sirf Langote.., Aala Su.. : The first half in this line is obvious, the rest half means “main woh hoon jo sirf langota pehenta hai…” aala is haryani of waala and su is similar to hoon.
2) Bhang Ragad Ke Piya Karu Main, Kundi Sote Aala Su: yahaan bhang ragad ke peene ki baat ho rahi hai, kundi ka matlab hai pathhar(stone) kaa bartan (bowl type) aur sotta is piece of wood. This is desi grinder used in haryana for making chuttney and all. You put the stuff you wanna grind in kundi and beat it with sotta. Try it sometimes, its fun! :P
3) Kis tariya dil Lage Tera, Satran Chaul Prakash Nahi: kis tarhe tera dil lagega sab taraf andhera he andhera hai……..
Rest all lines are pretty obvious ones we know that the context is the conversation between Shiv And Parvati.
Lyrics:
Tu Raja Ki Raj Dulari, Main Sirf Langote.., Aala Su.. ) - 2
Bhang Ragad Ke Piya Karu Main, Kundi Sote Aala Su
Tu Raja Ki Raj Dulari, Main Sirf Langote, Aala Su
Bhang Ragad Ke Piya Karu Main, ( Kundi Sote Aala Su ) - 2
Tu Raja Ki Chhori Se, Mhare Ek Bhi Daasi Daas Nahi
shawl dusale Odhan Aali, Mhare Kambal Tak Bhi Paas Nahi
Tu baagan Ki Koyal Se ,aade barf pade Hari Ghaas Nahi
Kis tariya dil Lage Tera, Satran Chaul Prakash Nahi
Kise Saahukar te Byah Karwale,Saahukar Ke Byah Karwale
Main Khaali sote Aala Su
Bhang Ragad Ke Piya Karu Main, Kundi Sote Aala Su
Tu Raja Ki Raj Dulari, Main Sirf Langote, Aala Su
Bhang Ragad Ke Piya Karu Main, ( Kundi Sote Aala Su ) - 2
Main dhuna me tapa karun, tu aag dekh ke darr jagi
Rakh ghol ke Piyaa Karu Mera, Bhag Dekh Ke Dar Jaagi
Sau Sau Saap pade reh gale me, Naag Dekh Ke Dar Jaagi
Taandav Naach kare ban me,Rang Raag dekh ke darr jagi.
Tane Julfan aala Chhora Chaiye, Julfan aala Chhora Chaiye
Main Lambe Chote aala Su
Bhangh Ragad Ke Piya Karu Main, Kundi Sote Aala Su
(Tu Raja Ki Raj Dulari, Main Sirf Langote, Aala Su
Bhangh Ragad Ke Piya Karu Main, Kundi Sote, Aala Su ) – 11

"tu raja ki raaj Dulaari" - i o u 1 Bhatt, had gone crazy trying to understand the damn thing, just couldnt. Damn good job man, pretty neat, in fact u got all the lyrics crystal.
me jaat, so affinity to some earthy jaat beats ws obvious, hwever still neither me nor my mom could decipher this song.
Now i can actually sing d song wen its playing in ma car. me a li'l curious though, where didja get d lyrics frm ?
main bhi aapka abhari rahunga, nice explanation. and feel aa gayi iske baad to. I did spread the word :)
and one thing more to know.. i saw name "Rajiv bhatt" as reporter or photographer, on front page of "The Hindu" are you the same ?
dude thanks a lot.
i was looking for the explanation for a long time. song gets more appealing now
but i do have a question
i checked the reviews on diff sites
it says it is a rajasthani folk sung by a rajbir, a rajasthani folk singer... but the lyrics are in haryanvi
can you explain this
good work ! and lovely song :)
lovely:)
Thanks a lot for the explanation rajiv!!! this is one of my favourite songs too :)
i was looking for the meaning of this song for quite some time....thanks very much... :)

This song is actually sung in traditional haryanvi style, not rajasthani folk which is different. Meaning is explained well, but i would like to correct a few things.
In the line where it says: kis tarah man lage tera, ......
After this should be: shatranj, chaupad, tash nahin, meaning no chess, chaupad (board game) or playing cards. Instead of whats written for this line.
If you find a haryanvi speaking person, they can easily translate this song in something more understandable to others.
Overall loved this song, and while searching for the lyrics reached this blog. Thanks for the wonderful effort.
I think song is pretty easy and simple for we haryana people.
Thanks ;)
thank's alot...............kundi ....nahi pata tha so thanks
