DOPE: "Ooh La La" from "The Dirty Picture" (2011)

Today's DOPE post is a very fun, lighthearted song from an otherwise sad movie. Based on the true story of South Indian actress Silk Smitha, who rose to fame by selecting controversial sexually charged roles, "The Dirty Picture" is a terrific story, and Vidya Balan (who actually gained almost 30 pounds to play the role of this sex symbol. GAINED!) does a terrific job in portraying Silk.

With the lyrics courtesy of BollyMeaning, I hope you all will enjoy "Ooh La La" and be sure to check out "The Dirty Picture" (Presently streaming on Netflix).



Chutki jo tune kaati hai
Now that you have pinched me,
Jori se kaati hai, yahan wahan
Pinched me here n there,
Roothi hoon, main tujhse roothi hoon
I am angry with you,
Mujhe mana le na o jaan-e-jaan
Cajole me, o my sweetheart..

Chhedenge hum tujhko
I'll tease you,
Ladki tu hai badi bumbaat
you're such an item girl..

Ooh la la, ooh la la, ooh la la, ooh la la
Tu hai meri fantasy
You are my fantasy..

chhoona na, chhoona na, chhoona na, chhoona na
Don't touch, don't touch, don't touch me,
Ab main jawan ho gayi
Now my youth has ripened..

Haan chhua jo tune toh dil ne maari seeti
When you touched me, my heart whistled,
De de inn gaalon pe ek pappi meethi meethi
Put a sweet kiss on my cheeks..
Yauvan tera, saavan bhara
Your youth is full of rainy season,
Bheeg gaya dil yeh mera
This heart of mine got drenched..

Aaha tune hi barsaat karaayi
You only have made it rain,
Kya kare yeh yauwan bechara bechara bechara
what shall my poor youth do..

Ooh la la, ooh la la, ooh la la, ooh la la
Tu hai meri fantasy
You are my fantasy..

chhoona na, chhoona na, chhoona na, chhoona na
Don't touch, don't touch, don't touch me,
Ab main jawan ho gayi
Now my youth has ripened..

Gira ke apna pallu, baarbaa
Making her pallu* fall repeatedly,
Kar deti woh humko bekaraar
she makes me restless..

Aag lagayi tune tann mein kya kare yeh pallu bechara
You only put my body on fire, what can the poor pallu* do..
Bechara, bechara

Chhedenge hum tujhko
I'll tease you,
Ladki tu hai badi bumbaat
you're such an item girl..

* Pallu is a loose end of a saaree or a similar kind of dress material, which is generally worn over shoulders.

DOPE: "Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte" from "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" (2008)

"Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" is a film that I've blogged about in the past (I'm still on the hunt for my little yellow tiffin!) but I've never featured any of the songs in a DOPE post before. Which is odd because I consider it one of my favorite films... I figured today would be the perfect day to remedy this.

I am picking the song sequence that pays tribute to famous Hindi film actors Raj Kapoor, Dev Anand, Rajesh Khanna, Shammi Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor, actresses Nargis, Nutan, Helen, Sharmila Tagore and Neetu Singh, and features cameos by Lara Dutta, Bipasha Basu, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta and of course "Cousin" Kajol!

So I hope you all will enjoy "Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte".... Lyrics with English translation courtesy of Hindi Bollywood Translation.


Pyaar Huaa Ikraar Huaa, Jeena Yahan Marna Yahan
Love was given and confessed, this is the place to live and die

In Baahon Kho, In Raahon Kho
These arms, these paths

Chod Ye Chaliyan, Jaye Kahan
Where would I go leaving all these behind?

Mana Dil Tho Hain Anaari, Yeh Awaara Hi Sahin
My heart may be innocent, May even be a crazy as well

Aare Bhol Radha Bhol Hoga Sangam Ke Naahinnn
Tell me Radha, will we be one or not?

Har Janam Mein, Rang Badalke
In every lifetime, the colors will change

Kaabhon Ke Paardon Pein Hum Khilte
We blossom behind the curtains of dreamland

Hum Hain Raahi Pyar Ke, Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte
We are travelers on the path of love, We’ll meet again as time goes by
Hum Hain Raahi Pyar Ke, Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte
We are travelers on the path of love, We’ll meet again as time goes by

Dil Ka Bhawar Kare, Kare Pukar Jab, Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hain
The heart calls out, It calls out when someone falls in love

Jiya Ohh Jiya Kuch Boldon, Aab Dard Sa Dil Mein Hotha Hain
Say something oh my darling, Now there's a pain in my heart

Thede De E E Ohhh
Thede De E E Ohhh

Ohh Tere Ghar Ke Samne Ghar Banaonga, Tootha Hi Sahin
I’ll build a house in front of yours, Even if it’s a shabby one

Pal Bhar Ke Liye Koi Hume Pyar Karle, Jhootha Hin Sahin
I wish someone would love me, Even if it’s a lie

Jhootha Hin Sahin, Hain Jhootha Hin Sahinnn
Even if it’s a lie, Yes even if it’s a lie

Har Janam Mein, Rang Badalke
In every lifetime, the colors will change

Kaabhon Ke Paardon Pein Hum Khilte
We blossom behind the curtains of dreamland

Hum Hain Raahi Pyar Ke, Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte
We are travelers on the path of love, We’ll meet again as time goes by
Hum Hain Raahi Pyar Ke, Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte
We are travelers on the path of love, We’ll meet again as time goes by

Yahoooooo Yahoooooooooo

Ohhhh Hasina, Zulfoon Wali Jaane Jahaaaan
Oh my beauty with the gorgeous tresses

Chahe Mujhko, Jaangli Kehde Saara Jahaaaaan
So what if the world calls me a barbarian

Ohhh Mehfil Mehfil Tu Phire, Yaho Yaho Dil Kare
You go from party to party, And my heart cries out yahoooo!

Ohhh Mehfil Mehfil Tu Phire, Yaho Yaho Dil Kare
You go from party to party, And my heart cries out yahoooo!

Badan Pein Sitare Lapete Hue
You beautiful body draped with stars

Har Janam Mein, Rang Badalke
In every lifetime, the colors will change

Kaabhon Ke Paardon Pein Hum Khilte
We blossom behind the curtains of dreamland

Hum Hain Raahi Pyar Ke, Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte

We are travelers on the path of love, We’ll meet again as time goes by

Bamoshaiiii…
Ohooo Hen Hen Hen…Ahhhhhhhh

Hain Jai Jai Shiv Shankar, Kata Lage Na Kankar
Hail Lord Shiv Shankar, Neither thorns nor stones can hurt us

Chahe Kuch Karle Zamana
No matter what the world does

Mere Jeewan Saathi, Mere Sapno Ki Raani
My partner in life, queen of my dreams

Zindagi Safar Hain Suhana
This journey is a beautiful one

Hain Kuch Tho Log Kahenge, Na Suna Ki Jiye
People will always talk, Don’t listen to them

Hain Chain Aaye Mere Dil Ko Duwa Ki Jiye
All I want is peace in my heart, Pray that I get it

Har Janam Mein, Rang Badalke
In every lifetime, the colors will change

Kaabhon Ke Paardon Pein Hum Khilte
We blossom behind the curtains of dreamland

Hum Hain Raahi Pyar Ke, Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte

Pa Pa Para Pa Ra Paaa
Pa Pa Para Pa Ra Paaa
Pa Pa Para Pa Ra Paaa

Zu Zu Zu Zu Zu Zu Zu Zu…

Darde Dil Darde Jigar, Zamane Kho Dikhana Hain
Heartbreaks, agonies of the heart, I want to show the world
Darde Dil Darde Jigar, Zamane Kho Dikhana Hain
Heartbreaks, agonies of the heart, I want to show the world

Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin Hain, Tujko Yeh Baathana Hain
I’m no less than anyone, I want to tell you that

Yeh Wada Raha, Ohhh Meri Chaandni
That’s a promise, To you, my Chandni

Har Janam Mein, Rang Badalke
In every lifetime, the colors will change

Kaabhon Ke Paardon Pein Hum Khilte
We blossom behind the curtains of dreamland

We are travelers on the path of love, We’ll meet again as time goes by

You know I had to pick the gif with Kajol! LOL

DOPE: "Halkat Jawani" from "Heroine" (2012)

I'm back with another groovy tune from our friends in India. I saw "Heroine" this past week and thought it was kick ass, as I talk about in my tumblr blog. This song was so killer, I knew instantly I had to post it this week. With the lyrics with English translation courtesy of BollyMeaning.com, I hope you all will enjoy "Halkat Jawani".



Aaja..
Come
Aaja zara sarak le
Come move a bit,
Gir le zara behak le
fall a bit, get tipsy,
Saiyaan zara chhalak le
O dear, spill a little,
Aa ke mose lipat le
come, cling on to me,
Tedha zeher hai ye isse na kar chhedkhani
This is a tricky poison, don't play around with it,

Night ki naughty kahani
the naughty story of the night,
Ye Halkat Jawani
this careless youth..
Meetha ye namkeen paani
This salt water is sweet,
Ye Halkat Jawani
this careless youth..
Night ki naughty kahaani
the naughty story of the night,
Ye Halkat Jawani
this careless youth..

Joban hai pyaasa to jor kare
This youth is thirsty, and hence loud,
Ainvai ye din mein bhi shor kare
It makes noises in the day even..
Takiya bana lipat le
Make my body a pillow and hug it,
Kambal bana rapat le
make it a blanket and glide over it..
Tan hai kateela par iski ada hai shaitani
The body is jagged, but it's style is naughty..

Night ki naughty kahani
the naughty story of the night,
Ye Halkat Jawani
this careless youth..
Meetha ye namkeen paani
This salt water is sweet,
Ye Halkat Jawani
this careless youth..
Night ki naughty kahaani
the naughty story of the night,
Ye Halkat Jawani
this careless youth..

Chhoron ki neeyat halaal kare
It kills the boys' (good) intentions
Are basti mein daily bawaal kare
it creates brawls in the vicinity everyday..
Item bana ke rakh le haye..
Make me your lover
Chakhna bana ke chakh le
make me chakhna and taste me
Aankhon ko kyon seke
why do you just see with your eyes,
Hathon se kar manmaani..
do what you want with your hands..

Night ki naughty kahani
the naughty story of the night,
Ye Halkat Jawani
this careless youth..
Meetha ye namkeen paani
This salt water is sweet,
Ye Halkat Jawani
this careless youth..
Night ki naughty kahaani
the naughty story of the night,
Ye Halkat Jawani
this careless youth..

 

DOPE: "Second Hand Jawaani" from "Cocktail" (2012)

Remember that MC Lyte/Positive K song, "I'm Not Havin' It"? Today's DOPE post is the Hindi Film version of the song!!! I haven't seen "Cocktail" yet (It's presently en route to me), but I have to admit that it was thing song that made me fork over the bucks for it!!

The Hindi lyrics with English subtitles are courtesy of YouTube channel Rimnaz1614, with a bit of fancy typing from yours truly!! I hope you all enjoy "Second Hand Jawaani". "Jawaani" means youth, but in the case of this song, it refers to the hormonal and vigorous... romantic stamina that comes with it!! LOL

Sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right
Naino ki bullet dil pe dhaayein lage
the bullet of eyes hits the heart straight

Sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right
Naino ki bullet dil pe dhaayein lage
the bullet of eyes hits the heart straight
Raja aayi helicopter pe chadhke jawaani
O my king, my youth has climbed on to a helicopter and has arrived

Without a parachute it has jumped on its own whim

Fair Warning: I will most likely be sharing every song from "Aiyyaa"... The soundtrack is THAT dope! LOL

This week's pick is up first for the new year because of Rani Mukerji's fabulous dancing... showing the world that women can get their sexy on, even with a tummy!! And the other reason.....?

You're welcome! LOL

I hope you all will enjoy Aga Bai, lyrics courtesy of Lyric Mint and the English translation courtesy of my DVD and fancy typing skills!!



Biraha saudai (O ho)
Every word you say
Banke Shehnai (O ho)
Resonates
Kaano mein thumari chhed jaaye re
Like melody in my ears
Kaano mein thu meri chhed jaaye re
Like melody in my ears

Tan ki deewani (O ho)
My body's so helpless
Man ka naa maani (O ho)
I didn't listen to my heart
Man bola tan beiman haay re
The heart says the body's a deceiver
Man bola tan beiman haay re
The heart says the body's a deceiver
haay

Re Aga Bai halla machaye re
Oh God! It creates a stir
Re Aga Bai halla machaye re
Oh God! It creates a stir

What's this passion in my heart?
Jaagi jaagi jaagi yovan me chubhan
There's an excitement in my heart

Baali umar se laali thodi maang ke
I borrowed a few colors from the fervor of youth
Maine khwabon ki rangoli hai sajaai
And filled my dreams with colors
Aayi Laxman-rekha bhi mai laangh ke
I crossed every boundary
Haay kaisi talab kheench laayi?
What's this desire fueling me?

Aaye piya ki mehak jahaa sandhali
Whereever I get the sweet scent of my beloved
Mor man kaah bhare hai angdaai
My heart starts to sway
Chhod bagiya ko bhagi aisi main kali
I raced out of the gardens
Mujhko bhanwaro ki bhaaye parchhai
And ran after the bees

Pinjre ki maari (O ho)
Bound to captivity
Hirni bechari (O ho)
This poor prey
Sheron se jaake naina ladaaye
Locks eyes with her hunter
Sheron se jaake naina ladaaye
Locks eyes with her hunter

Tan ki deewani (O ho)
My body's so helpless
Man ka naa maani (O ho)

DOPE: "Chaiyya Chaiyya" from "Dil Se" (1998)

It is crazy that one of my all-time favorite Hindi film songs comes from a movie I cannot stand?!? Yeah, it's crazy, but I had to start 2013 with what I think is one of the DOPEST of the DOPE Bollywood numbers. I hope you all will enjoy "Chaiyya Chaiyya" with the lyrics with english translation courtesy of BollyWhat.com.



jinke sar ho ishq kii chha.nh
He whose head is in the shadow of love
pao.n ke niiche jannat hogi
will have heaven beneath his feet.
jinke sar ho ishq ki chha.nh
Whose head is in the shadow of love...

chal chhaiyya
Walk in the shadow.
pao.n jannat chale chal chhaiyyan
Walk in heaven, walk in the shadow.
 
vo yaar hai jo khushbuu kii tarah
There's a friend who is like a sweet fragrance,
jiskii zabaan Urdu kii tarah
whose words are like poetry (lit. Urdu, the language of poetry),
merii shaam raat merii qainaat
who is my evening, my night, my existence.
vo yaar mera saiyya saiyya
That friend is my beloved!

Walk in the shadow.
pao.n jannat chale chal chhaiyyan
Walk in heaven, walk in the shadow.
 
gulposh kabhii itarae kahii.n
Sometimes my beloved flirts like a flower,
mahake to nazar aa jaa'e kahii.n
so fragrantly that you may see her scent.

taawiiz banake pahanuu.n use
Having made it into an charm, I will wear it. 
aayat kii tarah mil jaaye kahin
She shall be obtained as a miracle is obtained.

mera nagama vahii.n mera qalama vahii.n
She is my song, my declaration of faith
vo yaar hai jo imaam ki tarah
My friend is like a priest to me.
mera nagama nagama mera qalama qalama
My song... my declaration of faith...
yaar misale.n os chale
She moves like the dew.
paon ke tale phirdaus chale
She walks with the garden of heaven beneath her feet,
kabhii Daal Daal kabhii paat paat
sometimes through the branches, sometimes amidst the leaves.
mai.n hawa pe DHuu.nDHuu.n us ke nishaan
I shall search the wind for her trail!  
 
chal chhaiyya
Walk in the shadow.
pao.n jannat chale chal chhaiyyan
Walk in heaven, walk in the shadow.  
 
mai.n uske ruup ka sedaaii
I trade in her beauty.
vo dhuup chhaa.nho.n sa harjaaii
Fickle, she flits shamelessly from sun to shade. 
vo shokh ra.ng badalta hai
She changes her bright colors;
mai.n ra.ng ruup ka saudaaii
I negotiate that as well.

DOPE: "Mehbooba Mehbooba" from "Sholay" (1975)

There's an expression I always think of when I think of the Hindi film classic, "Sholay": Old is Gold! This movie became a hit before I was born, but it's truly a fabulous movie.

The funny thing is, the song I'm sharing today didn't really resonate with me when I first saw the film. I thought the movie was great and knew that this song is quite possibly the most beloved (pun intended) song from the film... but I wasn't really feeling it at first. It sort of crept into my mind and planted a seed, and I fell madly in love with it, so of course I share it with you all today!! I hope you all will enjoy "Mehbooba Mehbooba".



Hoo, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh

Mehbooba ae mehbooba

Ooh, mehbooba ae mehbooba

DOPE: "Beedi" from "Omkara" (2006)

I'm back with a killer song from another gem of a Hindi film. Omkara is an Indian adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello, with a very modern edge. A fan of my Hindi Film Blog on Tumblr "Black Girl from Brooklyn who digs Bollywood" recommended it to me a few months ago, and I promptly checked it out and fell madly in love!

This song is one of my favorites from the film, so I hope you all will enjoy "Beedi". The Lyrics with English translations are available of Hindilyrics.net and courtesy of my DVD and fancy typing skills.



Na gilaaf, Na lehaaf
No quilt in sight
Na gilaaf, Na lehaaf thandi hawa ke khilaaf sasuri
No quilt in sight... this cold breeze arouses the hell out of me
Na gilaaf, Na lehaaf thandi hawa ke khilaaf sasuri
No quilt in sight... this cold breeze arouses the hell out of me

O itni sardi hai kisika lehaaf lehi leh
Its best to share somebody's quilt
O jaa padosi ke chuleh se aag lehi leh
Go borrow heat from the next fellow's oven
O jaa padosi ke chuleh se aag lehi leh
Go borrow heat from the next fellow's oven

Bedi chalayi leh jigar se piya jigar maabadi aag hai
Light your fags (cigarettes) with the heat of my bosom it's burning up inside me
Bedi chalayi leh jigar se piya jigar maabadi aag hai
Light your fags (cigarettes) with the heat of my bosom it's burning up inside me

Wadaa nikari o lab se piya aah aa
Let smoke not slip out of your lips
Wadaa nikari o lab se piya jeh duniya badi dhank hai
Let smoke not slip out of your lips... the world's smoked out already
Haan bedi chalayi leh jigar se piya jigar maabadi aag hai
Light your fags (cigarettes) with the head of my bosom it's burning up inside me

Na gilaaf, Na lehaaf thandi hawa ke khilaaf sasuri
No quilt in sight... this cold breeze arouses the hell out of me
Na gilaaf, Na lehaaf thandi hawa ke khilaaf sasuri
No quilt in sight... this cold breeze arouses the hell out of me
O itni sardi hai kisika lehaaf lehi leh
Its best to share somebody's quilt
O jaa padosi ke chuleh se aag lehi leh
Go borrow heat from the next fellow's oven
O jaa padosi ke chuleh se aag lehi leh
Go borrow heat from the next fellow's oven

Na kasoor, Na fatoor
No crime's been charged
Na kasoor, Na fatoor bina juraam ke hajoor maar gaye, o maar gaye
No crime's been charged... why do I still feel sentenced to death?

O aise ik din duphari bula liyo re
Haul me to your court one afternoon
Bandh ghungroo kacheri lagaliyo re
Handcuff me with my anklets
Bula liyo re, Bula liyo re dupehri
Haul me up in the afternoon.

lagayilo re, lagayilo re kacheri
Sentence me, punish me severely

Angeethi chadayi leh jigar se piya
Light your stoves with the heat of my bosom
Jigar maabadi aag hai
It's burning up inside of me 
Bedi chalayi leh jigar se piya jigar maabadi aag hai
Light your fags (cigarettes) with the heat of my bosom it's burning up inside me

Ho na toh chakuon ki dhaar
No knife's sharp enough 
Ho na tan raati na kataar
To match your nibbles
Ho na toh chakuon ki dhaar
No knife's sharp enough 
Ho na tan raati na kataar
To match your nibbles
Aisa kaate ke daat ganisaar chod de
The way you leave your teeth marks behind
Yeh katayi toh koi bhi kisaan chod de
Farmers would forget how to cut their crops

O aise chalim ka chod de makaan jod de re bilo
Please Billo... would you settle down with a brute like this 
Chalim ka chod de makaan jod de
Would you settle down with a brute like this 
Aise chalim ka, O aise chalim ka
Would you settle down, O would you settle down 
Aise chalim ka chod de makaan jod de
Would you settle down with a brute like this  

Na bulaya
Nobody warned me
Na bataya
Nobody woke me up
Na bulaya, Na bataya maane neend se jagaya hai re
Nobody warned me, nobody woke me up
Aise chonkele haath mein naseeb aa gaya
Suddenly you come into my quilt
Woh ilaychi khilayike kareeb aa gaya
Trying to impress me with your clove breath
Koyila jalayi leh jigar se piya
Burn your coals with the heat of my bosom
Jigar maa, aag hai
It's burning up inside me

Itni sardi hai kisika lehaf lehi leh
It's best to share somebody's quilt
O jaa padosi, O jaa padosi, Jaa jaa padosi
Go borrow heart from the next fellow's oven

DOPE: "Chammak Challo" from "Ra.One" (2011)

So I've been holding off on sharing this Hindi film song for a few months now, primarily because it's one that's insanely popular. I'd imagine that even if you are not a fan of Hindi films, you have most likely heard this song before. LOL

And on a side note, if the male singer sounds familiar to you, that's because it's Akon. Yes, Akon... singing in Hindi! You go, boy! I hope you all will enjoy "Chammak Challo", (Chammak Challo means a village girl with attitude. In other words, an "around the way girl")  a song that is catchy as hell and has even a catchier dance to accompany it! Lyrics with English translations courtesy of LyricsMint.



Girl you're my chammak challo
Where you go girl I'm gonna follow
What you want girl just let me know
You can be my chammak challo

Shawty I'm gonna getcha
You know I'm gonna getcha
You know I'll even letcha
Letcha be my chammak challo

Kaisa sharmaana aaja nachke dikha de
Don’t be shy, show me your moves
Aa meri hole aaja parda gira de
Get close to me, let down your guard
Aa meri akhiyon se akhiyaan mila de
Lock eyes with me
Aa tu na nakhre dikha
C’mon, don’t show me attitude

Wanna be my chammak challo?
Wanna be my chammak challo?
Wanna be my chammak challo?
Wanna be my chammak challo?

Tu meri chammak challo
You're my chammak challo
Teri picture ka main hero
I'm your movie’s hero
Give it to me girl mujhko dedo
You can be my chammak challo

Shawty I'm gonna getcha 
You know I'm gonna getcha
Maybe I'll even letcha
Be my chamak chamak chalo

Kaisa sharmaana aaja nachke dikha de
Don’t be shy girl, show me your moves
Aa meri hole aaja parda gira de
Get close to me, let yourself go
Aa meri akhiyon se akhiyaan mila de
Lock eyes with me
Aa tu na nakhre dikha aa
C’mon, don’t show me attitude

Wanna be my chammak challo?
Wanna be my chammak challo?
Wanna be my chammak challo?
Wanna be my chammak challo?

Unnai totta penn ullattai uruka maataya
How can you not melt the woman who touched your heart
Ennai pola pennai paarthu mayanga maataya
How can you help falling for a girl like me
Kannil kannai poti vitaal sirika maataya
If I lock eyes with you wouldn’t that make you smile?
Ennil unnai sooti vitaal ottika maataya
If I bind you to me won’t you get glued to me?

Kaisa sharmaana tujhe nachke dikha doon
Let my dance show you how shy I am
Mera ho jaaye jo main parda gira doon
If I let my guard down, you’ll be mine
Aa tujhe akhiyon mein apne basa loon
Let me hold you in my gaze
Aa tu na nakhre dikha
C’mon now, don’t show me attitude

Wanna be my chammak challo?
Wanna be my chammak challo?
Wanna be my chammak challo?
Wanna be my chammak challo?

DOPE: "Dola Re Dola" from "Devdas" (2002)

Happy Thanksgiving!!! Once a month, like clockwork.. I take a few hours out of a day (usually on a weekend) to watch "Devdas". And I've chosen today to watch, as it's my first day off since starting the new job!!

It's a film that really transports you with it's beauty. And Devdas is also a unique film for me, because it's the one movie I love starring Shah Rukh Khan, where I don't like Shah Rukh in it!! Most of the time, I wanted to smack Devdas Cher-style! LOL

To me, Devdas is all about the phenomenal women in it: Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai, and Kirron Kher. These ladies make the film for me, and today's dope song is a reflection of Ash and Madhuri at their finest. With the lyrics and English translations from BollyWHAT, I hope you all will enjoy "Dola Re Dola".

DOPE: "Dhak Dhak Karne Laga" from "Beta" (1992)

Hey Everybody!! I'm here to share another Hindi film scene I believe is very very DOPE!! And because I've stan hard for both Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit, I decided to share a scene that has them both in it!!! It's two times the DOPE!! Awww yeah!!!

I hope you all will enjoy because this song is sizzling hot. Hindi lyrics are courtesy of LyricsMasti.com, and the English translations are courtesy of my DVD, remote control and nifty typing skills!!

Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga

My heart started beating, and started getting scared

Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga

My heart started beating, and started getting scared

Saiya Baiya Chhodna, Kachchi Kaliya Tod Na

Beloved, please leave my hands

Saiya Baiya Chhodna, Kachchi Kaliya Tod Na

Beloved, please leave my hands

Dil Se Dil Mil Gaya, Mujhase Kaisi Ye Haya

Our hearts have met, then why are you still shy?

Dil Se Dil Mil Gaya, Mujhase Kaisi Ye Haya

Our hearts have met, then why are you still shy?

Tu Hai Meri Dilaruba, Kya Lagti Hai, Va Re Va

You are my lover, how beautiful you look

Tu Hai Meri Dilaruba, Kya Lagti Hai, Va Re Va

You are my lover, how beautiful you look

Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga

My heart started beating, and started getting scared

Apana Kaha Jab Piya Tune Mujhe, Main Meethe Meethe Sapane Sajane Lagi

When you called me mine, I started having sweet dreams

Dekha Meri Raani Jab Maine Tujhe, Meri Soi Soi Dhadkan Gaane Lagi

From the time I saw you, my mind is awakened, my queen

Jaadu Tera Chhane Laga, Meri Nas Nas Mein Samaane Laga

Your magic has spread into my whole body

Kkud Ko Main Bhulane Laga, Tujhe Saanson Mein Basane Laga

I started forgetting myself, and hold you in my breath now

Rishta, Ab Ye Rishta, Saathi Tutega Na Tode Kabhi

What is this relation which has maddened both of us?

Dil Se Dil Mil Gaya Mujhase Kaisi Ye Haya

Our hearts have met, then why are you still shy?

Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga

My heart started beating, and started getting scared

Uljhi Hai Kali Kali Lat Teri, Zara In Zulfon Ko Suljhane To De

Your black hair is entangled, allow me to set it right

Itani Bhi Kya Hai Jaladi Tujhe, Ghadi Apane Milan Ki Tu Ane To De

What is your union, let the time for our union come

Aise Naa Bahane Bana, Meri Rani, Ab To Bahon Mein Aa

Don't make reasons and come into my arms my queen

Aise Naa Nigahen Mila, Koi Dekhega To Sochega Kya

Don't meet my eyes like that, what will the others think?

Masti Chhai Hai Masti, Ake Lag Jaa Gale Se Abhi

There is happiness all around, come and hug me.

Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga

My heart started beating, and started getting scared

Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga

My heart started beating, and started getting scared

Saiya Baiya Chhodna, Kachchi Kaliya Tod Na

Beloved, please leave my hands

Saiya Baiya Chhodna, Kachchi Kaliya Tod Na

Beloved, please leave my hands

Dil Se Dil Mil Gaya, Mujhase Kaisi Ye Haya

Our hearts have met, then why are you still shy?

Dil Se Dil Mil Gaya, Mujhase Kaisi Ye Haya

Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ho Mora Jiyara Darne Laga

My heart started beating, and started getting scared

DOPE: "Ramta Jogi" from "Taal" (1999)

I have the sneaking suspicion I've written about this song before, but I couldn't seem to find the previous post, so let's just pretend I didn't!! LOL

Taal is a Hindi film that remains in my top five favorite list, and this song is one of the reasons for this. The very dapper Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai perform this sultry song fabulously. The entire soundtrack to this film is pretty amazing. This in fact was the very first Hindi film soundtrack I purchased!! 

I hope you all will enjoy "Ramta Jogi" (Lyrics with english translations courtesy of BollyWHAT.com)

DOPE: "Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main" from "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" (1995)

In honor of the 17th birthday of "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" (This past Saturday, October 20th), today's DOPE post is probably the most catchiest tune from the film. This week's post is also very special, and is dedicated to the memory of Mr. Yash Chopra, who passed away this weekend. Anyone who has ever rented or viewed a Hindi film under the YRF banner has this passionate man to thank for the (no doubt) beautiful film they watched. Condolences and gratitude for the Chopra family for allowing us to remember and share our love with them.

This song is always on heavy rotation here at Casa di Miss Moon, and is liked a great deal by my family, especially my new fur baby (named after the star of the film, Kajol). The Hindi lyrics of the song are courtesy of STLyrics.com, and the English translations are courtesy of my DVD, remote control, and nifty typing skills! :)

Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main

May I have a jig?

Arre Na Re Na Re Na 

Oh No!

The chill in the breeze

Jalta Hai Ye Badan

Jee chahta Hai Bana Loon 

I feel like

Tujhko Apna Sajan 

Making love to you.

Hua Nahin Ye Pehle Kabhi 

This never happened before

Meri Jaan Badal Gayi Abhi Abhi 

I've taken my first step

Let me fly with the wind

Rabba Mere Mainu Bacha 

God! Help me!

Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main

Arre Na Re Na Baba Na 

Oh Goodness! No!

Jaati Hai Tu Kahan

Where do you think you're going,

Jaaneman Jaanejaan 

My darling, my love?

Ladki Hai Tu Khoobsurat 

You're a pretty girl

Ladka Main Naujawaan 

I'm a handsome young man

Tujhe Gale Laga Loon Aa

Come into my embrace 

Palkhon Mein Bitha Loon Aa 

Let me hold you in my eyes

Ho Gaya Mujhe Nasha 

Oh, I'm drunk

Rabba Mere Mainu Bacha

Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main

May I have a jig?

Arre Na Re Na Re Na 

Oh No!

Zara Sa Ghoom Loon Main 

May I try a pirouette?

Arre Na Re Na Re Na 

Oh No!

Aa Tujhe Choom Loon Main 

How about a kiss?

Arre Na Re Na Baba Na 

Oh Goodness! No!

Ho Gaya Mujhe Nasha 

Oh, I'm drunk

Rabba Mere Mainu Bacha 

God! Help me!!
