Day 306 of 300: Today's song is Raina Beeti Jaye by Lata Mangeshkar - Amar Prem (1972)

It is day 306 of 300, and today's song is a rather difficult song for me. Took me lots of attempts and time to get to a point of singing it somewhat decently. Most certainly I am not blessed with a melodious beautiful voice. So I sing with what I have. I guess, I play the cards I was dealt.

This is song #306 in the 300 #bollywood #classics #series. The song is Raina Beeti Jaye sung by Lata Mangeshkar from the 1972 movie Amar Prem directed and produced by Shakti Samanta. Music composed by R.D. Burman, and lyrics written by Anand Bakshi.

Lyrics:

raina biti jaye, sham na aaye

raina biti jaye, sham na aaye

nindiya na aaye, nindiya na aaye

raina biti jaye, sham na aaye

raina biti jaye

sham ko bhula, sham ka vada

sham ko bhula, sham ka vada

sag diye ke, jaoge radha

nindiya na aaye, nindiya na aaye

raina biti jaye, sham na aaye

raina biti jaye

kis sautan ne roki dagariya

kis sautan ne roki dagariya

kis bairan se laagi nazariya

nindiya na aaye, nindiya na aaye

raina biti jaye, sham na aaye

raina biti jaye

biraha ki mari, prem divani

biraha ki mari, prem divani

tan man pyasa akhiyo me pani

nindiya na aaye, nindiya na aaye

raina biti jaye, sham na aaye

raina biti jaye
