This is a presentation of a kajri (semi-classical song). The lyrics are:

Kehenawa mano, O radha rani (Listen to my words, O radha rani)

Nishi andhiyari kari bijuri chamake, room-jhoom barasat paani (It is the night time and dark with lightning. It is raining heavily)

Haath jod tori binati karata hoon, na maane mori bani (With my hands together, I am pleading with you. But you are not listening to me)

This song can be interpreted as being sung either by Radha’s beloved, a sakhi (friend) or her mother in an attempt to pacify her anger. I was taught this composition by my guru, Dr. Ruchira Kedar.

I was accompanied by Sri Koushik Bhat on the Tabla.
