जा जा जा रे नको बोलु जा ना
जा जा मीही भिते काय कोणा
जा जा जा रे नको बोलु जा ना
जा जा मीही भिते काय कोणा
आधी स्वत: केला गुन्हा
जोरा तुझा का रे पुन्हा सांग ना
जा जा जा रे नको बोलु जा ना

माझे मन वारा
भवती फिरणारा
झुरतो झुरणारा क्षणाक्षणां
माझे मन वारा
भवती फिरणारा
झुरतो झुरणारा क्षणाक्षणां
स्वैर मी वाहते मुक्त मी चेतना
जा जा जा रे नको बोलु जा ना
जा जा मीही भिते काय कोणा

मी रे फुललेली
वासंतिक वेली
सुमनें भुलवावे कुणा कुणा
मी रे फुललेली
वासंतिक वेली
सुमनें भुलवावे कुणा कुणा
गंध का कोणत्या मानितो बंधना
जा जा जा रे नको बोलु जा ना

जा जा मीही भिते काय कोणा
जा जा जा रे नको बोलु जा ना

Overall Meaning

The repetitive phrase "Ja Ja" urges the listener to move forward and not be held back by any external influence. The opening lines talk about letting go of any guilt or past mistakes, and not to let anyone make you feel ashamed for them. This is followed by introspective lines that talk about the singer's inner struggles and a desire for freedom from them. The final lines speak about the singer's desire to blossom like a flower, but the fear of being held back by societal norms.

The song's powerful message is conveyed through the beautiful and soothing melody, and Asha Bhosle's soulful voice. The use of repetition in the song's lyrics and melody creates a meditative effect and emphasizes the song's theme of self-awareness and introspection. The song's structure, with its simple repetition of lines and lack of a traditional verse-chorus structure, makes it unique and memorable.
