Tan rang lo jee aaj man rang lo
Posted on: March 20, 2011
Today (20 march 2011) is Holi, one of the major festivals in India. This festival is also one of the most popular festival in Hindi movies as it offers great opportunity for movie makers to show the lead actors and others letting their hairs down and singing and dancing rather more uninhibitedly than usual.
This is the third Holi that this blog is celebrating. Over the last two Holi festivals, most Holi songs have been covered. I was wondering if any more Holi songs were still left to be covered.
Have no worry. We still have several Holi songs that are not yet covered.
Here is one of the most well known Holi songs from the past that somehow managed to remain undiscussed in the past. This song is from “Kohinoor”(1960). This Holi song is sung by Rafi and Lata. it is picturised on Dilip Kumar,Meena Kumari and many other actors.
Shakeel Badayuni is the lyricist. Naushad composed the music.
I take this opportunity to greet all my readers and well wishers. Have a nice (and safe) holi.
song-Tan rang lo jee aaj man rang lo (Kohinoor) (1960) Singers-Rafi,Lata,Lyrics-Shakeel Badayuni,MD-Naushad
Lyrics
tan rang lo jee
aaj man rang lo
tan rang lo
ho tan rang lo jee
aaj man rang lo
tan rang lo
khelo khelo
umang bhare rang pyaar ke le lo
rang lo
tan rang lo jee
aaj man rang lo
tan rang lo
aa aa aa aa
aa aa aa aa
aaj nagri mein rang hai bahaar hai
gali gali dekho ras ki phuhaar hai
ho gali gali dekho ras ki phuhaar hai
pichkaariyon mein rang bharaa pyaar hai
ho pichkaariyon mein rang bharaa pyaar hai
isi rang mein jeewan rang lo
ho tan rang lo
ho man rang lo
khelo khelo
umang bhare rang pyaar ke le lo
rang lo
tan rang lo jee aaj man rang lo
tan rang lo
naacho naacho ri
sakhi ri holi aayi re
sakhi ri holi aayi re
ghar ghar mein rangeeli rut chhaayi re
ghar ghar mein rangeeli rut chhaayi
aaj duniyaa ne masti lutaayi re
aashaaon kaa daaman rang lo
ho tan rang lo
ho man rang lo
khelo khelo
umang bhare rang pyaar ke le lo
rang lo
tan rang lo jee aaj man rang lo
tan rang lo
aaa aaa aaa aaa
aaa aaa aaa aaa
aaj mukhde se ghunghtaa hataalo jee
ho zaraa sajnaa se ankhiyaan milaa lo jee
zaraa sajnaa se ankhiyaan milaa lo jee
rang jhoothe more tan pe na daalo jee
ho rang jhoothe more tan pe na daalo jee
man pyaar mein saajan rang lo
ho tan rang lo
ho man rang lo
khelo khelo
umang bhare rang pyaar ke le lo
rang lo
tan rang lo jee
aaj man rang lo
tan rang lo
Raadhaa sang holi khele re Banwaari ho
khele re Banwaari ho
ang ang pe chalaaye pichkaari ho
ang ang pe chalaaye pichkaari
kahe bainyaa pakadke anaadi ho
dil rang lo jee dhadkan rang lo
ho tan rang lo
ho man rang lo
khelo khelo
umang bhare rang pyaar ke le lo
rang lo
tan rang lo jee aaj man rang lo
tan rang lo

Happy Holi to everybody!
Atul, I am SO happy to see this song on your blog. This is indeed THE iconic song for Holi from my childhood days. In later years, other songs have come and maybe pushed this song out of Holi space but, for me, it will always be a very special song.
Btw, what an irony that a song that talks about colours, colours and colours is in black & white.
