Mann Bole Chakmak Haye Chakmak Hai Chakmak Chakmak Chakmak,

The song "Beedo" by Rekha Bhardwaj is a popular Sufi track that begins with the words "Arey Beedo, Haii Beedo", which can be interpreted as a call to a lover or a friend. The song is full of lively beats and the use of the word "chakmak" repeatedly in the song adds to the energy of the song. The word "beedo" can be translated to mean "plate" in English, and the lyrics seem to suggest the plate is full of spices and flavors.
The song talks about the fear of society and the judgments of others, but also about letting go of those fears and enjoying life. The lyrics suggest that the singer is wary of what society will say about them, but they are also asking to let go of those fears and dance with them to the beat of the music. The chorus of the song is a reflection of those fears but reminds the listener that the beat can be so infectious that it can make them forget their worries and dance.
The song also refers to traditional Indian folk music by using the word "jugni", which is a Punjabi word for a female firefly. The line "Jugni maan gayo re maan gayo re" can be translated to mean "Jugni has accepted me, accepted me". This suggests the singer's acceptance by society and the feeling of freedom that comes with it. Overall, the song encourages the listener to let go of their fears and enjoy life to the fullest.

Angiya...Angiya Bhi Lage Hai Jaise Sau Sau Mann Ka Bhaar
Even my limbs feel like they're carrying the weight of a hundred hearts
Khaayi, Khaayi To Machal Gayi Re Ho Kajraari Naar, Mann Bole Chakmak Hai Chakmak Hai Chakmak Chakmak Chakmak
When I ate it, I started burning up like a kohl-lined woman, and my mind keeps saying 'spark, oh what a spark'

I love how the dance is not heavily choreographed. It makes it feel so real.
