Rangeela Rey, Rangeela

Rangeela Rey, Tere Rang Mein Yun Rangaa Hai Mera Mann

Chhaliya Rey, Naa Bujhe Hai Kisi Jal Se Ye Jalan

Hooooo,

Rangeela Rey, Tere Rang Mein Yun Rangaa Hai Mera Mann

Chhaliya Rey, Naa Bujhe Hai Kisi Jal Se Ye Jalan

Hooooo; Rangeela Rey

Palkon Ke Jhule Se Sapno Ki Dori; Pyaar Ne Baandhi Jo Tu Ne Woh Todi

Khel Ye Kaisaa Re Kaisaa Re Saathi; Diyaa To Jhoome Hain Roye Hain Baati

Kahi Bhi Jaaye Re Roye Yaa Gaaye Re; Chain Naa Paaye Re Hiya

Waah Re Pyaar; Waah Re Waah

Rangeela Rey, Tere Rang Mein Yun Rangaa Hai Mera Mann

Chhaliya Rey, Naa Bujhe Hai Kisi Jal Se Ye Jalan

Hooooo; Rangeela Rey

Dukh Mera Dulhaa Hai Birahaa Hain Doli; Aansoo Ki Saadi Hain Aahon Ki Choli

Aag Main Piyoon Re Jaise Ho Paani; Naa Re Diwaani Hoon Peedaa Ki Raani

Manwaa Ye Jaley Hain Jag Saaraa Chhale Hain; Saans Kyon Chale Hain Piya

Waah Re Pyaar Waah Re Waah

Rangeela Rey, Tere Rang Mein Yun Rangaa Hai Mera Mann

Chhaliya Rey, Naa Bujhe Hai Kisi Jal Se Ye Jalan

Hooooo; Rangeela Rey

Rangeela; Rangeela

Maine To Seenchi Re Teri Yeh Raahein; Maine To Seenchi Re Teri Yeh Raahein

Baahon Mein Teri Kyon Aauron Ki Baahen

Kaise Tu Bhoolaa Woh Phoolon Si Raatein; Samjhi Jab Aankhon Ne Aankhon Ki Baatein

Gaanv Ghar Chhootaa Re Sapna Har Toota Re; Phir Bhi Tu Roothhaa Re Piya

Waah Re Pyaar Waah Re Waah

Rangeela Rey, Tere Rang Mein Yun Rangaa Hai Mera Mann

Chhaliya Rey, Naa Bujhe Hai Kisi Jal Se Ye Jalan

Hooooo; Rangeela Rey; Rangeela Rey
