Song by Song: Genda Phool (Delhi 6)

When I listened to Genda Phool, the first question in my mind was: Is it written by Prasoon Joshi? If it's a folk, or written by his grandmother, maybe it's easier to understand. But if it's written by Prasoon Joshi, he deserves praise once again.

Rekha Bharadwaj comes like a guest singer in Delhi 6 and she's been treated the same way. She sings a wonderfully beautiful song which is completely offbeat with all those beats of Rehman.

Well, enough of circular talks. ;) Genda Phool is a song that is a complete folk and has even typical instruments (if you count Ghunghroos as instruments) along with lots of beats that are not at all folk. Be it Rehman's music (leaving those beats), Prasoon's lyrics, or Rekha's voice, everything is perfect for a standard folk song. Now adding these extra beats and extra music makes the song a 'Rehman-Made-Folk-Remix'.

I think I've tried my best to explain what the song is like but if you still don't get the idea, Rehman is the one responsible.

One thing I would like to suggest still is that you get hold of this song and give it a proper listening. I hope you'll like the song. I won't say much about the song as this genre is rarely seen in contemporary movies. But I just loved this song. One wonderful piece of music from A R Rehman. Go for it.

Saiyyan Chhed Deve,
Nanad chutki leve,
Sasural genda phool..

Saas gaari deve,
Devar samjha leve,
Sasural genda phool..

Chhoda baabul ka angna bhaave dera piya ka ho..

(Saas gaari deve, devarji samjha leve, sasural genda phool..)

Saiyyan hain vyapari,
chale hain pardes,
sooratiya niharoon,
Jiyaara bhaari hove,
Sasural genda phool..

(hmmm hmm hmm hmmm hmm hmm hmmm..)

Saas gaari deve,
Devarji samjha leve,
Sasural genda phool..

(hmmm hmm hmm hmmm hmm hmm hmmm..)

Saiyyan Chhed Deve,
Nanad chutki leve,
Sasural genda phool..

Chhoda baabul ka angna bhaave dera piya ka ho...

Bush-shirt pahine,
Khai ke beeda paan,
Poore raipur se alag hai saiyyan ji ki shaan,
Sasural genda phool..

(Saiyyan Chhed Deve,
Nanad chutki leve,
Sasural genda phool,

Saas gaari deve,
Devarji samjha leve,
Sasural genda phool..

hoye hoye hoye
hoye hoye hoye

Chhoda baabul ka angna bhaave dera piya ka ho..)

(hoye hoye hoye)-8
