Bhojpuri rakhi songs has been setting mood of the festival over decades. Here is a beautifully rendered rakhi song from Laagi nahi chhute rama by Lata Mangeshkar


Rakhiya banhaa la bhaiyaa saawan aayil
Jiya tu laakh barees ho…
Tohara ke laage bhaiya hamari umiriya
Bahina ta deli asees ho
Raakhi ke dhaaga baanhi
Toharee kalaiyaa
Maathe lagaaeen teekaa
Leke balaiyaa
Aaj ke shubh din aarati utaareen
Kareen tohaar munha meeth ho….
Rakhiya banhaa la bhaiyaa….
Jahiyaa tu bhaujee ke
dolee le ayiba
Didiyaa ke neg se tu
baanche na payiba
Ancharaa me bhari-bhari leb rupaiyaa
Nahee leb das bees ho
Rakhiya banhaa la bhaiyaa..

We are also awake ...
