Buglo Lyrics – Ashu Twinkle & Shrikant

The Big Picture

“Buglo” It’s not a common word, you have to sit with it for a second. It sounds like a nickname, or maybe a playful jab. But the more you listen, you realize that’s the whole point of the song. It’s about the character someone becomes, the almost cartoonish persona they put on, especially when they’re trying to fit into a new world or live up to some expectation. A “Buglo” isn’t just a person, it’s like… a performance. The title frames this entire story as a watchful, almost amused observation of that transformation. It’s not a mean song, you know? It’s more like, “Look at you, all dressed up and playing this part.” The vibe is this mix of rustic charm and modern irony, which is so perfect for the whole narrative.

Most Impactful Lines

Man, the lines that just stick in your head… For me, it’s “thaare gharne aake bijli tham laaye the gudlo si”. On the surface it’s playful, “I came to your house and stole the electricity, the rascal that I am.” But it’s not about theft. It’s about disruption, about bringing a kind of chaotic energy into a settled space. You were this force of nature that changed the very atmosphere of a place, you know? And then there’s “mai mussal sa chhora re tu lagge khutlo si”. This line just kills me. “I was a simple, straightforward guy, and you seemed like a puzzle.” It captures that feeling of meeting someone who feels impossibly complex and layered, where you’re just trying to be genuine and they’re this enigma wrapped in makeup and attitude. The contrast is so stark and honest.

Decoding The Chorus

So the chorus, we all sing it, but let’s really listen. “re ghani chatori jeeb jali ki hori guglo si” starts it off with this image of a tongue getting burned from talking too much, from being “chatty.” It sets the stage for someone who’s all talk, or maybe who got themselves into trouble with their words. Then it hits the central refrain: “re kaali koyel makeup karke banja daily buglo si.” Break that down. “Kaali koyel” – a dark cuckoo bird, something naturally beautiful and known for its voice. But she’s putting on makeup to become a “daily buglo.” That’s the heart of it. It’s about taking something raw and real and covering it up, daily, to become this character, this “Buglo.” The “daily” part is what’s exhausting. It’s not a one-time costume; it’s a relentless performance. The chorus isn’t just catchy, it’s a lament wrapped in a catchy tune.

Most Relatable Part

Honestly, the most human part, for me, isn’t even about romance. It’s the whole verse about the wedding and the aftermath. “byaah pachhe lagaan laggi re tu manne suglo si”. “After the wedding, you started acting like a ‘suglo’ (someone high and mighty/refined) with me.” That’s the relatable heart right there. It’s that specific, gut-punch feeling when someone changes after a major life event, when they start putting on airs or distancing themselves from their roots, or from you. It’s the insecurity and the weirdness that comes when someone you knew one way tries to reinvent themselves, and in the process, makes you feel lesser. It’s so specific but it taps into that universal fear of being left behind when someone ascends to a new social tier, you know? That’s the part that gets under my skin.

Conclusion & Overall Message

Pulling it all together, the song isn’t really judging the “Buglo.” I mean, it points it out, it’s observant, but there’s a touch of sadness to it. The message I get is about authenticity, or the painful lack of it. It’s watching someone you care about get lost in the daily grind of being someone they think they should be, layering on the makeup and the attitude until their own natural song is muted. And from the narrator’s side, it’s about the loneliness of being the “mussal sa chhora” – the simple guy – who can only watch this transformation happen and feel the distance grow. The final note is bittersweet. It’s a banger of a tune, but it leaves you with this quiet question: at what cost does the “Buglo” perform? And who, underneath it all, is really paying the price? Don’t get lost in the Buglo, that’s what it leaves me with every single time.
