History of Famous Rajasthani Song ” Kesariya Balam aavo ni Padharo Mhare Desh “

Kesariya Balam is an Indian folk song from Rajasthan. It is one of the most popular Rajasthani folk music narrations. The song is sung in Mand singing style. 
Kesariya means saffron, which symbolically means good health and beauty, and Balam means husband or lover, this Rajasthani song is sung by or on behalf sung for women to express their feelings of love, affections, and respect for beloved husband. In this song, an invitation is sent by singing to the better half darling to come and see their homeland. 

Allah Jilai is an unforgotten name who was a folk singer from Bikaner, Rajasthan, India. By the age of 10 she was singing in the Durbar of Maharaja Ganga Singh. Perhaps her best-known piece is Kesaria Balam. In 1982, the Indian Government awarded her the Padma Shri in Arts field, one of the highest civilian awards. She has been also awarded by Sangeet Natak Akademi Award in 1988 for Folk Music. She has given the maand dhuun to this song.
The song was used in Hindi film, Lekin… (1991) set in Rajasthan, as Kesariya Baalma, in which it was sung by Lata Mangeshkar, set to music by Hridaynath Mangeshkar. It was used in Hindi film Dor. It was also used in the title of TV series, Kesariya Balam Aavo Hamare Des (2009).
So, the song with meaning goes: 

Kesariya Balam, Aavo ni, Padhaaro mhaare des. 
My Saffron Darling, Come, Welcome to my country. 
Piya Pyaria Dhola, Aavo ni, Padhaaro mhaare des. 
Sweetheart, Beloved, Come, Welcome to my country. 
Sone ri dharti, jhatadi, chaandi ro aasmaan, 
Golden land below, skies of silver. 
Rang rangilo, ras bharyo, mhaaro pyaaro Rajasthan. 
Flooded with color, brimming with vigor/vitality, my beloved Rajasthan. 
Kesariya Balam, Aavo ni, Padhaaro mhaare des. 
My Saffron Darling, Come, Welcome to my country.

Rajasthan is desert country, so the reference to the golden land and silver sky comes from there. It is a land of colour, it is also a warrior land, noted for the ferocity with which its people fight when threatened:

Hoon bhookh maroon, hoon pyaas maroon, Mewar dharaa azaad rahe, 
Hoon ghore ujaaraah mein vicharoon, Mhare man me maan ri yaad rahe. 
Let me die of thirst, let me die of hunger, but my homeland must always be free, 
Let me fight and live in the desert desolation, but the thought of my motherland must always live in my heart.

Lyrics goes like this
केसरिया बालम आओ नि पधारो म्हारे देस
नि केसरिया बालम आओ सा पधारो म्हारे देस
पधारो म्हारे देस, आओ म्हारे देस नि
केसरिया बालम आओ सा पधारो म्हारे देस
मारू थारे देस में निपूजे तीन रतन-2
एक ढोलो, दूजी मारवन , तीजो कसूमल रंग
पधारो म्हारे देस, पधारो म्हारे देस नि,
केसरिया बालम, आओ नि पधारो म्हारे देस
केसर सू पग ला धोवती, घरे पधारो जी..
हे केसर सू पग ला धोवती, घरे पधारो जी..
और बढ़ाई क्या करू पल-2 वारूगी
पधारो म्हारे देस आओ म्हारे देस
नि केसरिया बालम आओ नि पधारो म्हारे देस
आंबा मीठी आमरी,
(आम से भी मीठी ईमली.)
चोसर मीठी छाछ.
(और सबसे मीठी छाछ)
आ..अलाप
नैना मीठी कामरी
(सुंदर आँखो वाली कामिनी)
रन मीठी तलवार
(और युध में प्रिय तलवार..)
पधारो म्हारे देस, आओ म्हारे देस नि
केसरिया बालम आओ नि पधारो म्हारे देस
पधारो म्हारे देस, आओ म्हारे देस जी
केसरिया बालम आओ नि पधारो म्हारे देस
