On an international scale, his most famous work features prominently in Gurinder Chadha's film Bend It Like Beckham. He worked together with Amitabh Bachchan for a musical rendition of Harivansh Rai Bachchan's poetry and produced Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's album Magic Touch.
Bally Sagoo has acquired many designations, to mention a few, “Godfather of Bhangra”; “The mix-master”; “One of UK’s top 10 Asian Success Stories”. It’s taken a lot for Sagoo to acquire these titles and his story starts back in the 1980’s when he felt there was no funky Indian music. Living in the ghetto areas of Birmingham UK, he soon got a taste for black music. Motown, reggae and soul were the type of music he wanted to hear. Sagoo began a personal crusade to fill the void. He knew if he succeeded he would make his mark in history….
Bindiya Chamkegi
Bally Sagoo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Teri neend ude te ud jaaye
Kajra behkega, gajra mehkega -2
Maahi rus daaye te rus jaaye
Bindiya chamkegi.
Maine maana hua tu diwaana, zulaam tere saath hua -2
Main kahan le jaaoo apne laung ka lashkaara
Chal mud daaye te mud jaaye
Bindiya chamkegi.
Bole kangna kiseeka oh sajnaa, jawaani pe. zor nahin -2
Laakh manaa karle duniya kehte hain mere ghungroo
Paayal baajegi, gori naachegi -2
Chhat tut deeye te tut jaaye
Bindiya chamkegi.
Maine tujhse mohabbat ki hain, ghulaami nahin ki balmaa -2
Dil kisi ka toote chaahe koi mujhse roothhe
Main to kheloongi, main to chhedoongi -2
Yaari tut deeye te tut jaaye
Bindiya chamkegi.
Mere aangan baraat leke saajan, tu jis raat aayega -2
Main na baithhoongi doli mein keh doongi baabul se
Main na jaaoongi, main na jaaoongi -2
Gaddi tur deeye te tur jaaye
Bindiya chamkegi.
The song "Bindiya Chamkegi" by Bally Sagoo is a celebration of femininity and beauty. The lyrics describe the charm of a woman who is adorned with a bindi and bangles that reflect in the light, as well as the sound of her anklets that fill the air. The singer conveys the effect that her beauty has on him, rendering him entranced and unable to resist her. The song also subtly references the age-old Indian tradition of a bride departing from her home to start a new life with her husband.
The first verse describes the visual and auditory beauty of the woman, with her bindi shining and her bangles clinking, creating a bewitching environment that causes the singer's sleep to fly away. The second verse suggests the magnetic effect that the woman has on the singer, driving him crazy with her allure. The third verse seems to be a retort to people who assert that he has no power over her, with the singer asserting that he is not just a slave to her charms, but his love for her is real and cannot be dismissed. The final verse refers to the bride's farewell to her family, with the singer suggesting that he will not leave her side, conveying his love and commitment.
Overall, "Bindiya Chamkegi" is a fantastic celebration of a woman's beauty and charms, portraying a desire to become one with her and follow her wherever she goes.
