With Lata-bai, Arguably the finest combination ever Options

[archimoz]

A racy Lata Manna duet from Sapne Suhane. Lyrics by Shailendra. Note the beautiful choral effect in this song,

Regards-Archie.

Now *this* is very interesting indeed - in the recording I have of this song, the words differ significantly from the version you have uploaded! The version I have has the following mukhadaa:

naam meraa nimmo mukaam ludhiyaanaa
sang liye doloon main pyaar kaa khazaanaa
ho rahoongi teri laa dil nazaraanaa
yoon hi re yoon hi tu mat lalachaanaa

The version you have uploaded goes:

naam meraa nimmo makaam ludhiyaanaa
sang liye doloon main pyaar kaa *taraanaa*
*de chuki hoon baalam ko* dil nazaraanaa
*yahi re yahi hai meraa Thikaanaa*

In the first stanza, again, the first line in my version goes:

o dekh dekh zaalim na ab tarasaa
dil na jalaa dil na jalaa
are main ne tujhe chaahaa kyaa yah bhii hai khataa
sach batalaa batalaa
aadat hain mardon ki pichhe pad jaanaa
jhooth mooth karate hain pyaar kaa bahaanaa

While your version has:

o dekh dekh *nimmo* na ab *bharamaa*
...
aadat hain mardon ki *batiyaan banaanaa*
...

What gives?? Does the movie have the song twice? Or is one of these two a 'cover version'? My version indubitably has Lata, while the version you have uploaded also - to my ears - has Lata.

Help, someone!

Warm regards,
Abhay

Dear Abhay,

I have, unfortunately, lost YOUR version of this racy number. Will you (or any other HF-friend) be kind enough to re-upload the song (naam mera nimmo) please?

Thanks in advance.

Regards-Archie.

Thank you Genie (oops! Unni) - saab.

This version seems cleaner than the one referred to on the Salil-da site, which is also in lower bitrate (48kbps).
However the Salil-da site version is 4:40 long while this one is only 3:21.
So one needs to keep both - one for length and one for quality!
Thanks anyway.

And most importantly, as Mr. Abhay had pointed out, because of the difference in lyrics.

A divine number from the movie 'awaaz' (1955).

And as for the lyrics (I think it is Shailendra), they almost bring tears.

Regards-Archie

The lyricist is Vishwamitra Adil, and yes they do bring tears.

The song "Jhun jhunjhunaa" is based on the famous bengali song "Ghoom aay re aay" first recorded by Protima Bandopaddhaay in 1955. The lyrics of this song was written back in 1946 by then famous poet Mangalacharan Chattopaddhaay and Salil composed the music in two parts. The first part is quite slow and the second part is fast. This song was performed by the IPTA delegation with dance in Geneva during the ILO conference in 1952.
Salil used both parts of this song to compose two others. He composed "Aaa jaa re aa nindiyaa to aa" based on the slow part for the film "Do Bigha Zameen" and composed "Jhun jhun jhunaa" based on the fast part.
