सातों बार बोले बंसी, एक ही बार बोले ना
तन की लागी सारी बोले, मन की लागी खोले ना
सा, सा-रे-गा-मा-पा-सा
सा-रे-गा-मा-पा-धा-सा
सा-रे-गा-मा-पा-पा-सा
सातों बार बोले बंसी, एक ही बार बोले ना
तन की लागी सारी बोले, मन की लागी खोले ना
हो, चुपके सुर में भेद छुपाए, फ़ूँक-फ़ूँक बतलाए
अरे, चुपके सुर में भेद छुपाए, फ़ूँक-फ़ूँक बतलाए
तन की सीधी, मन की घुन्नी, २५ पेंचे खाए
हो, हाँ बोले, ना बोले, ना, हाँ, बोले, ना बोले ना
तन की लागी सारी बोले, मन की लागी खोले ना
सातों बार बोले बंसी, एक ही बार बोले ना
तन की लागी सारी बोले, मन की लागी खोले ना
हो, प्रीत की पीड़ा जाने मुई, छाती छेद पड़े
हो, प्रीत की पीड़ा जाने मुई, छाती छेद पड़े
अरे, उठ-उठ के फिर मुँह लगती है, कान्हा संग लड़े
हो, हाँ बोले, ना बोले, ना, हाँ, बोले, ना बोले ना
तन की लागी सारी बोले, मन की लागी खोले ना
सातों बार बोले बंसी, एक ही बार बोले ना
सातों बार बोले बंसी, एक ही बार बोले ना
तन की लागी सारी बोले, मन की लागी खोले ना
सा, सा-रे-गा-मा-पा-सा
सा-रे-गा-मा-पा-धा-सा
सा-रे-गा-मा-पा-पा-सा
सातों बार बोले बंसी, एक ही बार बोले ना
तन की लागी सारी बोले, मन की लागी खोले ना
बोले ना, बोले ना
बोले ना, बोले ना
बोले ना, बोले ना
The song "Saaton Baar Bole Bansi" by Asha Bhosle is a playful song about a woman asking a bansi (bamboo flute) player to play the same tune seven times. She wants to hear it again and again because the melody touches her heart and soul in a way that no other sound or sensation can. She is fascinated with the bansi player's ability to create such beautiful sounds and wants to experience it again and again. The repeated phrases of "bole na" (don't stop speaking) and "man ki lagi kholen na" (don't hold back your feelings) emphasize the woman's desire to hear and feel more of the music.
The lyrics also explore the idea of the bansi player's ability to convey different emotions through his playing style. The line "chupke sur mein bhed chupaye" (concealing secrets in the notes) and "tan ki seedhi, man ki ghunni" (straight body, twisted mind) highlight the idea of conflicting emotions hidden behind the music. The song's composition is based on the Indian classical music scale and uses the notes Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Sa.
Overall, "Saaton Baar Bole Bansi" is a romantic and playful song, emphasizing the power and beauty of music to connect with people's emotions.
