Kali Bindi by Sanju Rathod is a Marathi song that reflects the beauty of rural life and the appeal of tradition. Sanju Rathod wrote, sang, and directed the song lyrics. It features him and Akriti Negi in the leading roles. The first two words in Marathi translate to ‘black dot’, symbolizing the number of Indian women who wear such ornaments on their foreheads.
Sanju Rathod’s Kali Bindi tells the tale of a Marathi man who fell in love with a Marathi girl. The girl is described as a very traditional example of Marathi beauty, emphasizing her attractiveness. Throughout the song, the man tries to persuade the woman to talk to him and arrange a date. The chorus of the song, which is repeated many times, says, ‘She came wearing a black bindi and a black kurta. She said, ‘Meet me by the riverbank.'”
Sanju Rathod’s Kali Bindi Lyrics [English Translation]
Lagan Tikli Kaali Kaali Ai Heroine Kat Tu Chaali
Look at her stylish walk, with that perfectly applied black bindi – she’s like a heroine!
Khetem Jaari Ki Paanin Jaari, Kharo Kharo Ke Da Kai Japari
Is she going to the fields or fetching water? She’s truly captivating!
Raat Ujaagari Neend Bhi Lageni
I’ve been up all night, unable to sleep,
Vhe Geechu Pagli Ma Taare Lar Ni
lost in my thoughts and gazing at the stars.
E Maro Sajan Aaki Bharan, Tonaz Dekari Dekari Dekari
Oh my beloved, come fulfill my desires, you’re the girl of my dreams!
Chan Chanan Painjan Chaandicha Kamar Bandh
Silver anklets jingle on her feet, the silver waistband shines around her waist,
Khan Khanan Baangdyancha Hirva Pivla Rang
and her colorful bangles gleam.
Launi Ghe Saat Gajra Pandhra Ani Shubhra
Adorned with seven fragrant jasmine flowers and fifteen white ones,
Diste Itki Sundar Koni Hi Hoen Dang
she looks so beautiful, it’s breathtaking!
Kaali Bindi Kaali Kurti Ghalun Aali Ti
She came wearing a black bindi and a black kurta.
Bolli Aho Bhetana Nadiichya Kaatishi
She said, “Meet me by the riverbank.”
Hole Hole Aali Ti Majhya Paathi Paathishi
She came softly, walking behind me.
Bolli Aho Bhetana Nadiichya Kaatishi
She said, “Meet me by the riverbank.”
Tumchya Samor Aale Ki Kahi Suchat Nahi Why Why
When I’m in front of you, my mind goes blank. why is that?
Dhadak Dhadak Dhadakan Zorat Dhadke Why Why
My heart beats loudly. why is that?
Tumhich Majhe Aho Honar Ka Ho?
Will you be mine forever?
Bolu Bolu Vaatte Pan Porgi Mi Shy
I want to tell you, but I’m too shy!
Nehmisathi Ubhi Rahein Tumchya Paathi
I’ll always stand by your side,
Jiv Sudhha Deu Shakte Tumchyasathi Mi
I can even give my life for you.
Kaali Bindi Kaali Kurti, Ghalun Aali Ti
She came wearing a black bindi and a black kurta.
Pari Ani Apsara Se Zyada Paayari Ti
She’s more beautiful than any fairy or angel.
Hole Hole Aali Ti Majhya Paathi Paathishi
Slowly, she follows closely behind me
Bolli Aho Bhetana Nadiichya Kaatishi
She softly says, “Meet me by the riverside”
O Ho Jab Meri Bandi Lagaati Bindi
When my girl wears a bindi,
Phir Kya Pari Kya Apsara
She outshines all fairies and angels.
Pehne Jo Kurti Kaali Kaali
Dressed in a black kurta,
Chaand Bhi Sharamaye Sharmila
She makes even the moon shy away in comparison.
Why So Shy Shy Shy
Why so shy, why, why?
Inni Soni Why Why Why
Why are you so beautiful?
Ghadi Ghadi Bolat Baste
Continuously keeps asking me,
Aho Tumhi Jevalat Kaay?
“Have you eaten yet?”
Aho Tumhi Jevalat Kaay?
“Have you eaten yet?
Saanga Na Jevalat Kaay?
Tell me, have you eaten?”
Jevha Ti Laavate Gandhak Ani, Galyaat Sonyacha Necklace
When she wears perfume and a gold necklace,
Banavte Mala Ti Bandhak, Eka Sekandat Hoto Me Speechless
She takes my breath away, I become speechless.
Marathi Porgi Sanskruti Japte
This Marathi girl upholds our culture,
Ekachich Forever Tyachatach Ramte
Loyal and devoted forever.
Chaha Sobat Puran Poli Pan Jamte
She enjoys tea and puran poli.
Lajalu Itki Baghunach Lapte
She’s so shy, she hides from my gaze.
Kaay Ti Chaal Ni Kaay Ti Lachak
What a graceful walk, what a sway!
Photo Kaadto Pose De Khachak
Let me take your picture, strike a pose!
Kaali Bindi Kaali Kurti
With her black bindi and black kurti,
Tikhi Mirchi Haay Ti Thasak
She’s like a spicy chili, fiery and bold!
Thumka Ticha Viral… Ti Very Beautiful
Her dance moves are viral, she’s incredibly beautiful.
Chaandanya Pan Vaate Tichya Paayachi Dhool
Even the moonlight seems like dust beneath her feet.
Kartto Tula Imagine Tu Jasmine Mi Aladdin
I imagine you as Jasmine and myself as Aladdin.
Dreamy Dreamy Vaattay Tu Chori Kelas Dil
It feels like a dream, you’ve stolen my heart!
Roop Tich Paahnyasathi Gardi Jhaali Ki
Everyone’s gathered to admire your beauty.
Dardi Hoto Mi Majhi Hamdardi Jhaali Ti
I’m smitten, my heart belongs to you.
Hole Hole Aali Ti Majhya Paathi Paathishi
She came softly, walking behind me.
Bolli Aho Bhetana Nadiichya Kaatishi
She said, “Meet me by the riverbank.”
Kaali Bindi Kaali Kurti Ghalun Aali Ti
She came wearing a black bindi and a black kurta.
Bolli Aho Bhetana Nadiichya Kaatishi
She said, “Meet me by the riverbank.”
