Holi Folk Song-1

Syama Piya More Rangade Chunariya
Syama piya more rangade chunariya
Aisi rangade ke ranga nahi chhute
Dhobiya dhoye chahe yeh sari umaria
Lal na rangaun main, hari na rangaun
Apane hi ranga mein rangade chunariya
Bina rangaye main to ghar nahi jaungi
Beet hi jaye chahe yeh sari umariya

Holi Folk Song-2

Jal se patala kaun hai
Kaun bhumi se bhari
Kaun agana se tej hai
Kaun kajala se kari
Jala se patala jnana hai
Aur pap bhumi se bhari
Krodha agana se teja hai
Aur ik kalana kajala se kari
Mira ke prabhu giridhara nagara
Prabhu charanana mein
Hari charanana mein
Syama charanana mein lagi najaria
