रंग बिरंगी होली आई
(Rang Birangi Holi Aayi)
This is a Holi song. Holi (होली) is an Indian and Nepali spring festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil and the arrival of spring. It's also known as the "festival of colors". People throw colored powders at each other and drench each other with water. Everyone is fair game! This happens in most outdoor public spaces, along with singing and dancing.

रंग बिरंगी होली आई
धूम मचाती होली आई
बच्चों की है टोली आई
रंग गुलाल उड़ाती आई
पिचकारी में रंग की गोली है
होली है भई होली है होली है
Colorful Holi is here
Creating clamour, Holi is here!
Here too is the children's gang
Spreading colors and festive powder*.
The water guns are filled with bullets of colour
It is Holi everyone, Holi it is!
Notes
*Gulaal is the traditional festive colored powder that's thrown in the air for Holi.
