One of my top faves, so glad I came across this video and got to know abt the goriye part, I was honestly confused abt it, cos Indians have this tendency to put goriye wherever the tune allows em to and it was the perfect place so I always end up singing goriye instead of chhad ke. Thanks for the explanation! Loved it.
