Budhau - Reprise Lyrics – Bhanwari Devi | Gulabo Sitabo

Budhau - Reprise Song Description

This song "Budhau - Reprise" (बुढ़ऊ - रिप्राइज़) is from the film Gulabo Sitabo, which features big artists like Farrukh Jaffar, Amitabh Bachchan, Ayushmann Khurrana, and Vijay Raaz. This song is sung by Bhanwari Devi, the music is given by Anuj Garg, and the words are written by Dinesh Pant. Zee Music Company has released it. The lyrics of the song tell the story of an old man whose achkan (traditional coat) is torn and threads are hanging loose, yet he does not give up his stubbornness and swagger.

The lyrics say "Ho phati achkan ke dhaagon pe latke budhau" (The old man hangs by the threads of his torn achkan) — meaning the old man roams around in his old torn clothes, his breaths are labored yet he doesn't mend his ways. He roams from street to street, corners, and markets, as if oblivious to the world. In the second part, it is written "Khaali thaali mein gaali parose" (He serves curses on an empty plate) — meaning he has nothing to eat but is sharp with his words and shows attitude. Even after earning small coins, he remains content in his own style, with his waist bending and eyes flirting.

In the final part, the song says that he neither sleeps himself nor lets the nights sleep, but lives by wrapping himself in dreams. He wanders around with a straw hidden in his beard and surprises everyone with his stubborn antics. This song shows the stubbornness and playfulness of old age in a fun and philosophical way, which will make you laugh and also make you think.
