Lehriyo Song Description
This song is called "Lehriyo." It is composed and produced by Salim Sulaiman. The singers are Kinjal Dave and the traditional artists of Rajasthan, the Langas & Manganiyars. The Rajasthani lyrics are written by Saveri Verma and also come from traditional sources. The music was co-produced by 2AM, Raj Pandit, and Carl Samuelsson. The vocoder and keyboard were handled by Salim Merchant, and the zen drum was played by Sulaiman Merchant. The Langas & Manganiyars artists include Asin Khan Langa, Roje Khan Manganiyar, Salim Khan Langa, and Roshan Khan Langa. The song is distributed by Global Music Junction and Warner Music India, and it is available under Salim Sulaiman Music.
The lyrics often repeat the phrase "900 rupiya," which refers to the price of a traditional Rajasthani Lehriya (a type of ghagra or skirt). The main lines are "Mhaaro Lehriyo, Lehriyo re, 900 rupiya" (My Lehriya, Lehriya, 900 rupees) and "Rokda re, Lehriyo Lehriyo" (Cash, Lehriyo Lehriyo). These express the desire for a beautiful ghagra ("gorira dhola").
In the song, a woman pleads with her lover to strengthen their love. She sings lines like "Sajna the to raat din ghano raat din kamaavo sa" (Beloved, you should earn a lot day and night) and "Thodo chaandi su lana de, thoda sona su saja de" (Bring me some silver to set it with, decorate it with some gold). She then makes a promise: "Thaane kadi koni jaun sa, ho ji thaare sang rehno hi chahoon sa" (I will never leave you, I only want to stay with you). This means that after she has adorned herself, she will never leave his side.
In the middle of the song, there are English lines, "I wanna feel you, closer to me." These connect the feeling of modern love with the traditional Rajasthani tune. The song ends by repeating "Mhaaro Navrangi Lehriyo" (My nine-colored Lehriya) and "Mhaane laido laido" (Take me, take me).
The song starts with a simple wish and tells a story of deep love and dedication. It makes the culture and music of Rajasthan easy to enjoy for listeners today.
