Asha Bhosle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
यमुनेलाही पूर चढे
पाणीच पाणी चहूकडे ग बाई
गेला मोहन कुणीकडे
रिमझिम पाऊस पडे सारखा
तरुवर भिजले भिजल्या वेली
ओली चिंब राधा झाली
तरुवर भिजले भिजल्या वेली
चमकुन लवता वरती बिजली
चमकुन लवता वरती बिजली
दचकुन माझा ऊर उडे ग बाई
गेला मोहन कुणीकडे
रिमझिम पाऊस पडे सारखा
हांक धावली कृष्णा म्हणुनी
रोखुनी धरली दाही दिशांनी
हांक धावली कृष्णा म्हणुनी
रोखुनी धरली दाही दिशांनी
खुणाविता तुज कर उंचावुनी
खुणाविता तुज कर उंचावुनी
गुंजत मंजुळ मुग्ध चुडे ग बाई
गेला मोहन कुणीकडे
रिमझिम पाऊस पडे सारखा
जलाशयाच्या लक्ष दर्पणी
तुझेच हसरे बिंब बघुनी
जलाशयाच्या लक्ष दर्पणी
तुझेच हसरे बिंब बघुनी
हसता राधा हिरव्या रानी
हसता राधा हिरव्या रानी
पावसातही ऊन पडे ग बाई
गेला मोहन कुणीकडे
रिमझिम पाऊस पडे सारखा
यमुनेलाही पूर चढे
पाणीच पाणी चहूकडे ग बाई
गेला मोहन कुणीकडे
रिमझिम पाऊस पडे सारखा
The lyrics of Kuni Bai Gungunla describe the beauty of nature during the monsoons in a village setting. The opening lines talk about the gentle patter of raindrops, which sound like the Yamuna river overflowing its banks. The next few lines describe how the rainwater has inundated the roads and fields, and how Mohan has gone away to some unknown destination in this weather.
The next stanza describes the beauty of a tree, which has become so wet that its branches are drooping. On top of it, a bird is sitting and enjoying the rain, while Radha gets wet with the water dripping from the tree. The imagery of lightning striking and thunder rumbling adds to the vividness of the scene. The final stanza talks about how the water in the pond reflects the image of Radha, how she smiles and looks like a queen in green attire, and how even woolen clothes get drenched in this beautiful rain.
The lyrics beautifully depict the joys of the monsoons in the rural Indian setting and how they affect the lives of people and nature around them.

खुणाविता तुज कर उंचावुनी
You are being lifted up high with praise
गुंजत मंजुळ मुग्ध चुडे ग बाई
The sweet, lovely bangles are jingling
जलाशयाच्या लक्ष दर्पणी
In the mirror of the reservoir
तुझेच हसरे बिंब बघुनी
I see only your smiling face
हसता राधा हिरव्या रानी
The green queen Radha is laughing
पावसातही ऊन पडे ग बाई
Even in the rain, the wool falls
