Rain Rain

This year the monsoon has been disappointing. Some rain in the last couple of days. To smell the rain and to listen to some rain songs .


(Some of my very favorite ones--not all are rain songs but ...) Rain Songs    
All are hindi songs. I could not think of any tamil song to match the sweetness of these. But there is a malayalam song - sea song- which is very sweet- music director being Salil Choudhury  --Chemmeen song


From  Do Aankhen Baarah Haath, it feels as if the song will be difficult to sing- but it isn't
       
Lyrics  (It took me several sessions to get the wordings - if they are wrong please correct me )

ho umad ghumad kar aayi re ghata
ho umad ghumad kar aayi re ghata

kare kare badara ki chhayi chhayi re ghata jab sanan pavan ka laga re tir, badal ko chir nikala re neer nikla re neer jhar jhar jhar jhar ab dhar jhare, o dharati jal se mang bhare o umad ghumad kar aayi re ghata

 nanhee nanhee bundaniyo kee khanan khanan khan khanjaree bajatee aayi bajati aayi dekho bhayee
barkha dulhaniya - barkha dulhaniya chhuk chhuk chhuk chhuk sainya, aaja daru tohe galo bainya, aaja daru tohe galo bainya chup saiyan
mai toh nachu tere sang sang sainya, ho sainya, ho sainya ho ho ho
savan ka sandesa lekar nikalee apne ghar se jo koyi isake pyar ko tarse vahi navelee barse kare kare - kare kare badrava ki
jhanan jhanan jhan jhanjharee bajati aayi bajati aayi
dekho bhayee barkha dulhaniya barkha dulhaniya

ho umad ghumad kar aayi re ghata
kare kare badara ki chhayi chhayi re ghata
jab sanan pavan ka laga re tir, badal ko chir nikala re neer nikla re neer jhar jhar jhar jhar abb dhar jhare, o dharati jal se mang bhare o umad ghumad kar aayee re ghata

mithee mithee mast pavan ki sanan sanan san bansuree bajati aayi -bajati aayi-
dekho bhayee barakha dulhaniya, barakha dulhaniya
hari hari chunari saje kaliyon ka kangana baje
kaliyon ka kangana baje man baje
dekho barkha ke akhiyan laaje o laaje o laaje ha ha ha
dekh ke apni barkha rani ki mithi muskan re savan ke dulhe ki dekho chamak uthi hai shan re gori gori - gori gori-
bijuriya ki chamak chamak cham akhandee chamakati aayi chamkati aayi
dekho bhayee barakha dulhaniya, barkha dulhaniya

ho umad ghumad kar aayi re ghata
kare kare badra ki chhayi chhayi re ghata ha jab sanan pavan ka laga re tir, badal ko chir nikala re neer nikla re neer jhar jhar jhar jhar ab dhar jhare, o dharati jal se mang bhare o umad ghumad kar aayi re ghata

rang birangi jholi bharke bharan bharan bhandar re lutati aayi - lutati aayi-
dekho bhayi barakha dulhaniya, barakha dulhaniya dharati ne gathari kholi,bharo bharo apni jholi
bharo bharo apnee jholi anamoli bhaiya khelo khelo kushiyo kee holi ho holi ho holi dhan ye sawan dhan ye barkha dhan dhan hamari dharati sabke jivan ke yeh adhure sapne pure karati dekho dekho -dekho dekho-
ghar ghar hamare lahar lahar aanand ki leharati aayi - leharati aayi
dekho bhayi, barakha dulhaniya, barkha dulhaniya

ho umad ghumad kar aayi re ghata
kare kare badara ki chhayi chhayi re ghata ha jab sanan pavan ka laga re tir, badal ko chir nikala re neer nikla re neer jhar jhar jhar jhar ab dhar jhare, o dharati jal se mang bhare o umad ghumad kar aayire ghata
