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….
Preeto De Ghar

Sharam da kar kuch bhora
Koi aakheh tenoo deora
Sharam da kar kuch bhora
Faateh si kupreh tere
Faateh si kupreh tere
Bhoota panvahiya si
Raati tu
Raati tu daru peekeh
Ki punga paaya si
Raati tu daru peekeh
Das kitho aayaa si
Raati tu daru peekeh ke
Dassan ki tenoo pabhi
Hogiya mai raat shaarbi
Dassan ki tenoo pabhi
Hogiya mai raat shaarbi
Daru si peethi baali
Daru si peethi baali
Punga jiya paa betha
Preeto de
Preeto de
Preeto de ghar da pabhi
Kuunda karka betha
Preeto de ghar da pabhi
Kuunda karka betha
Preeto de ghar da pabhi
Raati pooreh ek vajeh to
Daru naal kali si
Veera tera baar giya si
Ghar vich mai kali si
Veera tera baar giya si
Ghar vich mai kali si
Haldi vich thel milakeh
Haldi vich thel milakeh
Zakhama te laayiya si
Raati tu
Raati tu
Raati tu daru peekeh
Ki punga paaya si
Raati tu daru peekeh
Das kitho aayaa si
Raati tu daru peekeh ki
Daru si ruri maarka
Daru si ruri maarka
Milgeh si panj saat vehli
Motor te jaa bethe ta
Motor te jaa bethe ta
Jassi, Lalli te Jelly
Chita jhad aayeh odha
Chita jhad aayeh odha
Bottal nu laa behta
Preeto de
Preeto de
Preeto de ghar da pabhi
Kuunda karka betha
Preeto de ghar da pabhi
Kuunda karka betha
Preeto de ghar da pabhi
Sheeseh vich shakal tu vekhi
Koi aakeh haal ve tera
Aundhaa hai udhi raati
Karda hai nith hanera
Aundhaa hai udhi raati
Karda hai nith hanera
Mani na gal tu meri
Mani na gal tu meri
Kinna samjayia si
Raati tu
Raati tu
Raati tu daru peekeh
Ki punga paaya si
Raati tu daru peekeh
Das kitho aayaa si
Raati tu daru peekeh ke
Chori ohneh kholiya kuunda
Chori ohneh kholiya kuunda
Undar mai vargiya si
Bapu ohda chukiya gandasa
Bapu ohda chukiya gandasa
Hath vich mai farliya si
Juggy di jhak vich aakeh
Juggy di jhak vich aakeh
Maur katava betha
Preeto de
Preeto de
Preeto de ghar da pabhi
Kuunda karka betha
Preeto de ghar da pabhi
Kuunda karka betha
Preeto de ghar da pabhi
Eko ek deor tu mera
Shad de vehliyan di taani
Kalli hai pehn ve meri
Lagdi parehan di rani
Kalli hai pehn ve meri
Lagdi parehan di rani
Puchoon phir pind Manali
Puchoon mera pind Manali
Chand kitho aayeh si
Raati tu

Raati tu daru peekeh

Raati tu daru peekeh
Das kiton aayaa si
Preeto de ghar da pabhi
Kuunda karka betha
Raati tu daru peekeh

Preeto de ghar da pabhi
Kuunda karka betha
Raati tu daru peekeh
Das kitoh aayaa si
Preeto de ghar da pabhi
The song "Preeto De Ghar" by Bally Sagoo tells the story of a young man who is drunk and visiting his lover's house. He is ashamed of his behavior and asks for forgiveness. He also mentions how he got drunk and what happened to him while he was drunk, including getting into fights and getting hurt. Throughout the song, he repeatedly mentions Preeto's house and how he is sitting outside with his friends. He also mentions how he wants to go inside and see Preeto but knows he cannot because of how he is currently acting.
The lyrics are reflective of the culture at the time of the song's release, which was the 1990s in the UK. The song was meant to appeal to the British-Asian community and reflects the experience of young people in that community who were struggling with issues of identity and assimilation.
Overall, the lyrics speak to the universal experience of love and the challenges that come with it, including navigating social norms, managing expectations, and dealing with one's own insecurities and flaws.
