DOPE: "Zoobi Doobi" from "3 Idiots" (2009)

This song has been on my mind for weeks now, and I figured it was a sure sign to share it as a DOPE post. With the lyrics courtesy of KrazyLyrics, I hope you all will enjoy Zoobi Doobi! And don't blame me if you start humming it all day either! LOL



Gungunaati hain yeh hawaayein
The wind is humming
Gungunaata hai gagan
So is the sky
Ga raha hai yeh saara aalam
The whole atmosphere is humming

Zoobi doo
Param pum

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi pum paara
Zoobi doobi param pum

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi
Naache kyun paagal stupid mann
Why is the mad and stupid heart dancing?

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi pum paara
Zoobi doobi param pum

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi
Naache kyun paagal stupid mann
Why is the mad and stupid heart dancing?

Shaakhon pe pattey ga rahe hain
The leaves are singing on the branches
Phoolon pe bhanvre ga rahe
The butterflies are singing on the flowers

Deewani kiranein ga rahi hain
Crazy beams are singing
Yeh panchhi ga rahe
So are the birds

Bagiya mein do phoolon ki
Ho rahi hai guftagu
Two flowers are conversing in the garden
Jaisa filmon mein hota hai
Ho raha hai hu-ba-hu
It's a complete replica of what happens in the movies

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi pum paara
Zoobi doobi param pum

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi
Naache kyun paagal stupid mann
Why is the mad and stupid heart dancing?

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi pum paara
Zoobi doobi param pum

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi
Naache kyun paagal stupid mann
Why is the mad and stupid heart dancing?

Rim jhim rim jhim rim jhim
San san san san hawaa
The wind is blowing
Tip tip tip tip boondein
The rain drops are pouring
Gurraati bijliyaan
Lightning is growling

Bheegi bheegi saree mein
Yeh thumke lagaati tu
You are dancing in wet clothes
Jaise filmon mein hota hai
Ho raha hai hu-ba-hu
It's a complete replica of what happens in the movies

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi pum paara
Zoobi doobi param pum

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi
Naache kyun paagal stupid mann
Why is the mad and stupid heart dancing?

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi pum paara
Zoobi doobi param pum

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi
Naache kyun paagal stupid mann
Why is the mad and stupid heart dancing?

Ambar ka chaand zameen par
Itra ke ga raha
The moon of the sky is singing
Ek tim tim toota tara
Ithla ke ga raha
On the earth with pride
A shooting star is also singing

Hai raat akeli tanha
The night is lonely
Mujhe chhoo le aake tu
Come and touch me
Jaise filmon mein hota hai
Ho raha hai hu-ba-hu
It's a complete replica of what happens in the movies

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi pum paara
Zoobi doobi param pum

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi
Naache kyun paagal stupid mann
Why is the mad and stupid heart dancing?

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi pum paara

Zoobi doobi Zoobi doobi
Naache kyun paagal stupid mann
Why is the mad and stupid heart dancing?

DOPE: "Aal Izz Well" from "3 Idiots" (2009)

Last week, I had the exciting opportunity to take part in the joyful fun-o-rama that is jury duty... that's totally sarcasm, by the way! I had to get up two hours earlier than I normally do and sit in a room for six hours. The only saving grace for the experience was the free Wi-Fi, which allowed me to watch "3 Idiots"... What a terrific movie!! To be honest, I was all set to watch "Don 2" which is streaming on Netflix, but it wasn't working on my phone, so I found this movie on YouTube, and I'm so happy that I gave it a chance!

Today's DOPE song choice is one that's really fun and inspirational... and I must admit that since watching the film I've said "Aal Izz Well" to myself from time to time. It really works!! Lyrics with English translation courtesy of Krazy Lyrics.



Jab life ho out of control
When your life get's out of control
Honthon ko kar ke gol
Round your lips
Honthon ko kar ke gol
Round your lips
Seeti bajaa ke bol
Whistle and say

Jab life ho out of control
When your life get's out of control
Honthon ko kar ke gol

Seeti bajaa ke bol

Aal Izz Well
All is well

Murgi kya jaane aande ka kya hoga
A hen does not know the future of it's egg
Are life milegi ya tawe pe fry hoga
Will it hatch or will it be turned into a omelet
Koi na jaane apna future kya hoga
Nobody knows our future

Honth ghuma
Round your lips,
Seeti bajaa
Whistle

Bro, All is well

Arre bhaiyaa all izz well

Confusion hi confusion hai
There is confusion everywhere
Solution kuchh pata nahin
We don't know the solution
Solution jo mila to saala
If we get the solution,
Question kya tha pata nahin
We don't know the question

Dil jo tera baat baat pe ghabraaye
If your heart get's tense on every matter
Dil pe rakh ke haath use tu fuslaa le
Keep a hand on your heart and persuade it
Dil idiot hai pyaar se usko samjha le
Heart is an idiot,persuade it with love

Honth ghuma
Round your lips,
Seeti bajaa
Whistle
Seeti bajaa ke bol
Whistle and say
Bhaiyaa All izz well

Arre bhaiyaa all izz well
Hey Bro, All is well

Hey Bro, All is well

Scholarship ki pi gaya daaru
You have drunk alchohol from the money of scholarship,
Gham to phir bhi mitaa nahin
But still grief did not vanish
Agarbattiyan raakh ho gayi
You have light many candles
God to phir bhi dikha nahi
But still you haven't seen God

Bakra kya jaane uski jaan ka kya hoga
A goat does not know what will happen to it
Seekh ghusegi ya saala keema hoga
In which dish it might be turned
Koi na jaane apna future kya hoga
Nobody knows our future

Honth ghuma
Round your lips,
Seeti bajaa
Whistle
Seeti bajaa ke bol
Whistle and say
Bhaiyaa All izz well

DOPE: "Des Rangila" from "Fanaa" (2006)

This week I thought I would share another beautiful song from Fanaa, showcasing the insanely brilliant Kajol.  I hope you enjoy "Des Rangila" with the lyrics with English translation courtesy of BollyWhat?

DOPE: " I Hate You (Like I Love You)" from "Delhi Belly" (2011)

I'm back with another Hindi Film that I think is just... DOPE. This film is one that I recently watched this past weekend. When the movie ended, I pressed play on my DVD and watched it again... it's THAT good! But you don't have to take my word for it... check out my Black Girl Digs Bollywood blog to see my immediate reaction to watching the movie! LOL

I'm not going to say that the video I'm sharing today is the best part of the entire picture.... but I will say, it's definitely in the top ten!! With lyrics and translations courtesy of Krazy Lyrics... here's the fabulous and over the top, "I Hate You (Like I Love You)".



I hate you like I love you
I hate you like I love you
Love you love you

I hate you like I love you
I hate you like I love you
Love you love you

Tere pyaar ne kar diya deewana
Your love has made me crazy
Tere pyaar ne kar diya deewana
Your love has made me crazy
Iss dard ne kar diya deewana
This pain has made me crazy
Tere pyaar ne kar diya deewana
Your love has made me crazy

Tere jaisa zaalim milta hai naseeb se
Cruel like you are met by fate
Milta hai naseeb se
met by fate
Dil hai tera khanjar
Heart is your knife,
Ghayal karde kareeb se
Injure it from near
Ghayal karde kareeb se
Injure it from near

But you're in my blood I just can't quit
Infection addiction
You give me such a kick

I hate you like I love you
I hate you like I love you
Love you love you

I hate you like I love you
I hate you like I love you
Love you love you

Tere pyaar ne kar diya deewana

Tere pyaar ne kar diya deewana
Your love has made me crazy
Iss dard ne kar diya deewana
This pain has made me crazy
Tere pyaar ne kar diya deewana
Your love has made me crazy

Shake that biscuit baby,
Shake it for me!
Yeah!
Haaye current maarti hai!
She gives shock!

Aankhon mein aankhein daale
Stare in my eyes
Zara zeher pilaa de
And give me poison
Zara zeher pilaa de
And give me poison
Maut ke nashe ki baat hi kuchh aur hai
The intoxication of death is altogether different
Baat hi kuchh aur hai
Is altogether different

But you're in my blood I just can't quit
Infection addiction
You give me such a kick

I hate you like I love you
I hate you like I love you
Love you love you

I hate you like I love you
I hate you like I love you
Love you love you

Tere pyaar ne kar diya deewana
Your love has made me crazy
Tere pyaar ne kar diya deewana
Your love has made me crazy
Iss dard ne kar diya deewana
This pain has made me crazy
Tere pyaar ne kar diya deewana
Your love has made me crazy

Jo chauka udhte hue jaaye
Usse chhakka kehte hain
A boundary that flies is called a sixer

Saiyyan tere pyaar mein
Beloved in your love,
Lutt gaye hum bazaar mein
I got squandered in front of everybody

Beloved in your love,
Lutt gaye hum bazaar mein
I got squandered in front of everybody

DOPE: "Pardesi, Pardesi" from "Raja Hindustani" (1996)

"Raja Hindustani" is a very sweet movie I was fortunate enough to get from Netflix a few weeks ago, and fell in love with the story. It's about a rich city girl, who falls in love with a simple but big-hearted boy from the country. The movie also touched a warm spot in my heart due to what I still believe is quite possibly the funniest entrance ever to occur in cinema, Hindi or otherwise!! Johnny Lever had me cackling!! LOL

But what's super dope about this film (Aside from the infamous kiss shared by stars Aamir Khan & Karisma Kapoor!) is the song that I'm of course sharing as today's DOPE post. I fell in love with the song... and I fell in love with the scarily beautiful makeup worn by one of the performers.... I definitely need to try to recreate this, just to see if I can. I don't think I'll be rocking this look to the grocery store, though! LOL

So I hope you all will enjoy this week's song, "Pardesi Pardesi", as I hope you have enjoyed all of the beautiful Hindi film clips I've shared in the past few weeks. If you have a suggestion for a Hindi film you think I'll enjoy, please be sure to post a comment! And as always, my fanciness in including the lyrics in Hindi & English comes courtesy of BollyWHAT.com.



Mai.n ye nahii.n kahatii ki pyaar mat karna
I won't tell you not to love
Kisii musaafir ka magar etabaar mat karna
Some traveller, but don't trust one.

Mai.n ne tum ko chaaha tumse pyaar kiya
I desired you, I fell in love with you.
Sub kuchh tum pe yaar apna vaar diya
I offered you everything I have, my friend.
Ban gaii jogan, mai.n ne priit ka jog liya
I became a (female) ascetic, I undertook the disciplines of love.
Na socha na samjha, dil ka rog liya
I neither thought nor understood; I contracted an illness of the heart.

Pardesii mere yaara lauT ke aana
Foreigner, my friend, return!
Tum yaad rakhna, kahii.n bhuul na jaana
Remember me, don't forget somehow!

Har phal merii yaad tumhe.n taDapaa'egi
Every moment the memory of me will make you toss and turn.

I speak the truth, love; you will regret it greatly.

My first time uploading a gif to the blog.. I'm getting extra EXTRA in my old age! LOL

DOPE: "Guzarish" from "Ghajini" (2008)

I'm back with another DOPE pick from our friends in India. I talked a bit about "Ghajini" in my Tumblr blog devoted to Hindi Cinema, but I really felt like I had to post about it here, because this song is really and truly, DOPE as hell!!! 

I saw "Memento" (in the movie theatre, as a matter of fact),  I've seen "Ghajini" (I own the DVD) and.... true talk here... I like "Ghajini" WAAAAY better!!! And I hope that "Guzarish" will inspire you to watch this beautiful movie. As always, the lyrics with English translation (courtesy of Music and Lyrics) are provided below.

Tu meri adhoori pyaas pyaas, tu aa gayi mann ko raas raas, ab toh

You are my unquenched thirst, I'm in love with you

ab toh tu aaja paas paas, Hai guzaarish

Please come to me at least now, this is a request.

Hain haal to dil ka tang tang, tu rang ja mere rang rang

The status of my heart is pitiful, let's get you colored in my hues

Bas chalna mere sang sang, Hai guzaarish

Just walk along with me, I request you.

Kehde tu haan toh jindagi, zharano se chhutke hasegi

If you say yes, life will smile at us,

Moti honge moti raaho mein yeah yeah yeah

Our paths will be strewn with pearls, yes.

Shishe ke khwaab leke, raato mein chal raha hu, takara naa jaaun kahin

Taking along dreams made of glass, I'm walking the nights, I hope I don't collide somewhere.

Aasha ki lau hain roshan, phir bhi tufaan kaa darr hain, laun bhuj naa jaye kahin

Light is the flame of hope, yet, I fear the hurricane. I hope the flame doesn't extinguish.

Bas ek haan ki guzaarish, phir hogi khushiyo ki baarish.

Just one request for your approval, then it will rain happiness on us.

Chanda hain aasman hain, aur baadal bhee ghane hain, yeh chanda chhup jaaye naa

There is the moon and the sky, and also the gloomy clouds, I wish the moon doesn't hide itself

Tanhaayi das rahi hain,aur dhadkan badh rahi hain, ek pal bhi chain aaye naa

This loneliness is killing me, and heartbeats are on the rise, my peace is long lost.

Kaisi ajab dastaan hain, bechainiyaan bas yahaan hai.

This story is so peculiar, only impatience is left here.

DOPE: "Aati Kya Kandala" from "Ghulam"

I'm weird when it comes to Bollywood movies... a lot of my favorite item songs are in films I have never even seen. "Chaiyya Chaiyya"? I had never seen the movie "Dil Se" until recently (For my thoughts on the film, be sure to check out the Tumblr home for MMM... I had a lot on my mind about that flick! LMAO).

Such is the case with today's DOPE post. "Ghulam" is not yet available on Netflix (Booo!!), but I love this song with a passion. Is it SUPER dated? Yeah, pretty much. Aamir Khan looks ready for a Menudo audition in the number, but it's a cute song, and I bet all my natural hair sisters who wrap their heads up at night will be doing the scarf dance to this song with me.... 'Cause I do it. Every. Single. Night. LOL

And if goes without saying that my fanciness hasn't diminished, so the lyrics (with translation) will be included. Enjoy!

haan bhi karta na bhi karta dil mera deewana 

i can't decide, my heart says yes and sometimes no

poochh le aakhir hai kya maajra 

ask your heart, after all what is going on?

DOPE: "Dekho Na" from "Fanaa"

Wow!! I haven't done a DOPE post in a super-long time, huh?!? There was a time where I would be so stressed out because I couldn't find poetry and other things that I wanted to share for this particular series of Miss Moon's Musings. After a while, I decided that I could very easily let it go.... and trusted in myself that when inspiration would strike then I will take advantage. Thus... this post!

Most of you should know that I am absolutely cuckoo for all things Bollywood. I recently saw a film that sent me on an emotional rollercoaster... I sighed, I swooned, I raged, I laughed, I cried. "Fanaa" is dope as hell!! It's also streaming on Netflix, so check it out!

Today I am sharing one of the most breathtaking scenes from the movie, and the song that accompanies it. I hope you all will swoon along with me (Aamir Khan.... yum!!) to "Dekho Na". I unfortunately couldn't find a subtitled video on YouTube, so I am including the lyrics in Hindi and English (Because I'm fancy like that! LOL). Lyrics courtesy of BollyWhat.com.




yeh saazish hai buundo.n kii
The raindrops are conspiring
koii khwaahish hai chup chup sii
with my hidden desire.
yeh saazish hai buundo.n kii
The raindrops are conspiring
koii khwaahish hai chup chup sii
with my hidden desire.
dekho na...
Just look...

hawaa kuchh haule haule
The soft, gentle breeze
zubaan se kya kuchh bole bole
is saying something extraordinary:
kyo.n duurii hai ab darmiyaan
why this distance between us?
dekho na...
Just look...

phir na hawaa'e.n ho.ngii itnii besharam
Never again will the winds be so impertinent,
phir na Dagmag Dagmag ho.nge ye qadam
or my feet so unsteady beneath me.
haay
Alas...
phir na hawaa'e.n ho.ngii itnii besharam
Never again will the winds be so impertinent,
phir na dag-mag dag-mag ho.nge ye qadam
or these steps so unsteady.
saawan yeh siidha nahii.n khufiyaa baRa
This isn't a straightforward rain; there's something secretive about it;
kuchh to baraste hu'e kah rahaa
it's saying something as it showers down.
samjho na...
Try to understand it...

hawaa kuchh haule haule
The soft, gentle breeze
zubaan se kya kuchh bole bole
is saying something extraordinary:
kyo.n duurii hai ab darmiyaan
why this distance between us?
dekho na...
Just look...

jugnuu.n jaisii chaahat dekho jale bujhe
Watch love, like fireflies, flare and fade away.
miiTHii sii mushkil hai koii kya kare
It's such a sweet difficulty; what can anyone do?

ho.nTHo.n kii arzii aisii THukaraa'o na
Don't rebuff the petition on my lips;

don't doubt the desire of my breath.
chhuu lo na...
Touch me...

hawaa kuchh haule haule
The soft, gentle breeze
zubaan se kya kuchh bole bole
is saying something extraordinary:
kyo.n duurii hai ab darmiyaan
why this distance between us?
dekho na...
Just look...
