Hi Folks,
As a kid, the kind of songs that I liked the most was Marathi Baal-Geete. Just to cite an example, a day before every Maths exam, I'd have butterflies fluttering in my stomach. That’s when I’d remember the lines
“Bholanath udya ahe ganitaacha paper,
Potaat maajhya kal yeun dukhal ka re dhopar”.

And there was the song that eventually became my childhood anthem:
“Pustak nantar vaacha,
Aata khela naacha”

So here’s a new thread for all those Baal-geete. Looking forward to an enthusiastic response from you all.

For starters, here are the two songs mentioned above :


-Dhananjay

Hey....that a nice thread......can u please upload asava sundar chocolate cha bangla, noko taai rusu and konas thauk kasa. Tap tap tap tap takit taapa also please.......we had this poem in school. We also had the poem phulapakharu chaan kiti disate phulapakharu......Looking forward to these songs

Tathastu Baalike !!!
As the first person to respond to this thread, you certainly deserve some goodies....
Here are two of the songs from your list. Let's hope some kind soul uploads the others
-Dhananjay

Thanks a ton Dhananjay Is there a full song of ye re ye re pavsa tula deto paisa? If so can u please upload it? also there is a baal geet sung by Ashaji and Sudhir Phadke tujhya gala majhya gala gunfu motyanchya mala. Can u upload that please?

Ayyo can we have singer details for the songs pleeeeeaaaaasssseeeee!!!

Arre Priya,
Itna bada "please" ? Yahaan sab log ekdum "low maintenance" hain ... You won't have to try so hard to get information from us !!
Anyways, coming back to your question. These songs are from the album - "Chocolatecha Bangla" ("A bungalow made of chocolate" - a wild fantasy of a child).
The album was composed by Meena Khadikar (Meena Mangeshkar,before marriage). She is a lesser known entity among the Mangeshkar siblings. The songs were sung by her kids Yogesh & Rachna Khadikar, alongwith Shyama Khale. Following are the details of each song :

1. Konas Thauk Kasa - Shyama Khale
2. Saang Saang Bholanath - Yogesh & Rachna Khadikar
3. Asava Sundar Chocolatecha Bungla - Shyama Khale, Yogesh & Rachna Khadikar
4. Pustak Nantar Vacha - Shyama Khale, Yogesh & Rachna Khadikar

Hope you like them. Let me know in case you need the "gist/complete translation" of "any/all" songs (I figured this would be a much easier task than translating "Kanada Vo vitthalu", posted by Lata )

-Dhananjay

Oh Oh !!! I don't have these... I guess I hit the limit too soon !!!
Anyways, I do have "Mamachya gaavala jaauya" by Ashaji .... Shall I upload it ?

-Dhananjay

are neki aur pooch pooch..........chala jhuku jhuku jhuku jhuku ageena gaadi......laukar upload kara please

I can provide you the lyrics of all these songs

Here you go.......

Lata, Yere yere paawasa is a song that also has a different continuation.
Check this out

does anyone want more baal geete?

This is a cute one

The evergreen naach re mora...

another rain song...

Gori gori paan fulasaarkhi chhaan...

Ok so I will say just a small 'thanks' for the info.
I do want a translation but of the song majhiya mana which our specialist has not done yet.

Wow Mandrake !!! Amazing uploads....... Jeete raho !!!!!

Here's one more....

Can someone provide singer info on all these song uled?

1. Aamhi_kolyaachi_pore

2. Ye_Re_Ye_Re_Pawasa

3. Ae_Aai_Mala_Pawasat_Jau_Dena

4. _Aala_Aala_Paus_Aala

Thanks.
P

Priya, should I assume this is pointed at me? (I should, right?)
I thought I had posted that translation...
Anyways, I will believe you if I haven't done it.
Can Lata pls post the lyrics? I'll do my part...

The last baal-geet from my collection (or so I think)...

Please please please post the singer name too when U ul songs na. Main kab se bol rahi hoon.

But of course Mandrake. Now would I dare call anyone else a specialist?
U posted the translation of sanjh ye gokule not this song. U posted to lines of translation which has made me yearn to get the complete one.
Awaiting it eagerly.

Priya,
Tumhe rota hua (" ") dekh ke humko bahut achha lagta hai .. That's why we keep withholding this info.
Actually, all these songs (with no singer names), are from the same album - "Chocolatecha bungla". It's the same team as mentioned my previous reply.

- Dhananjay

1. Time to show some patriotic zeal - with the first song here :
"He Rashtra Devataanche"
Movie : Gharkul,
Singer - Rani Verma
Lyrics : Ga Di Madgulkar
Music : C. Ramchandra

2. And never mess with this kid :
"Khodi maajhi kaadhal tar" - Shyama Khale
-Dhananjay

I thot it was laugh and they laugh with U, cry and U cry alone--yahan to cry and they laugh AT U!!!!!
Shukr hai mere 10 ghante lagatar rone ke baad tumhe daya aayi!!!! Baki sab ki to poocho mat.
Thanks for the info.
BTW tell me--what are the parameters of a balgeet--songs abt children/by children (at least on screen)/for children/with children?

Priya JI (out of GENUINE respect), it is a humbling experience to see how a 3300+ post-er takes the playful digs of a <50 post-er in such a sporting manner. Much to learn from you.

And about the parameters of a baal geet - essentially the content should be from a child's point of view. If sung by a child artiste, even better. But a grown up lady/gent singing to a child will usually not be a baal-geet.
That's my perception. Though I am sure somebody will question me whether Rafi's 'hasaa mulaano hasaa' is a baal geet or not.
To me, it is not.

LOL!!!! I have never thought of number of posts or age or any such thing as a criterion for friendly interaction. Esp on a small close knit forum like this one which I am very happy to be part of despite my ignorance and singular obsession with Asha.
Thanks for the 'definition' of baalgeet. But in films so many have been sung by senior artists, na? I believe Usha Mangeshkar has sung a huge numbers of baalgeet?

A few more requests Dhananjay and Mandrake........the famous jinku kinwa maru. I think its sung by Mahendra Kapoor na? Jayostute shree mahanmangale by Mangeshkar family and shoor amhi saradar by Pt. Hridayanath mangeshkar.

Dhananjay, since we are moving away from the baal-geete section, either we should start a new thread for patriotic songs, or since it is rather late, rename the thread appropriately.

Wot say?

Lata, here you go:

Jayostute shri mahanmangale....

Lyrics: None other than the immortal Vinayak Damodar Savarkar

Music: 'Baal' Mangeshkar

Raag: Shankara (what else could it be? )

Thanks a ton Mandrake I have a request for a song. It goes like this I think namaskaar majha ya dnyaan mandira...satyam shivam sundara..... I dont know who the singer is or have any other information. I have heard it when I was very small. If some kind soul can help

Mandrake,
My apologies, if I seemed to digress .... Actually the patriotic song I uploaded was sung by Rani Verma when she was a kid. In fact, it was also picturised on a kid in the movie.
I still have a few more cards up my sleeve, for baal-geete. I plan to upload those too.
As for patriotic songs, unfortunately I don't have many with me !!!! If you have a decent number of those, we could start a new thread. Else I'll modify the current thread to accomodate them. Lemme know what seems fine !!!

-Dhananjay

Ek angaai geet...Was wondering how this one was missing...

Song: Nimbonicyha Zaada Maahge
Singer: Suman Kalyanpur
Movie: Bala Gaau Kashi Angaai.

Ek angaai geet (Lorie)...Was wondering how this one was missing...Again, one of the best compositions/ renditions in Marathi cinema.

Song: Nimbonicyha Zaada Maahge
Singer: Suman Kalyanpur
Movie: Bala Gaau Kashi Angaai.
MD?

Here are two more,
1. Khel karto dombari - A nice upbeat song. Can someone help with who the singer is?
2. Sasa to sasa - Anuradha Paudwal


-Dhananjay

Hey Lata,
Here's fulfilling your request - Shoor aamhi sardaar !!! But since this is not the appropriate thread for that song, I've uploaded it in Hridaynath forum....

-Dhananjay

Two more baal-geete.

1. Saang Na Aai - A beautiful ode to a mother.

2. Mala Na kalate Sa Re Ga Ma - I'm sure most of you would have heard this on radio, sometime or the other....

And Priya,
FYI : I don't have any information on these songs

-Dhananjay

I do -

These are non-Asha songs.

LOL Hitsji!!!!! U have just the right info for me!!!!
The mule is a sensible chap.

Dhananjay, that sasa to sasa u u/l ed is a remix - not original.

Yes, I seem to remember, now that you mentioned it. I guess the original was sung by Usha Mangeshkar.....

-Dhananjay

Oh Oh.... Hits, thanks for driving the point home !!! Being new to the forum, I have this habit of beating around the bush !!!
By the way Hits, have you finally settled for your new "look" ? I noticed that off late, your image has been undergoing a few "makeovers"....

-Dhananjay

No makeovers, O Arjuna...I still Am.

Had to clean up the stubble, as I was headed to the cities. Back to my world now....

Keep up the good work you do.

Hi guys,

Looks like I have missed all the beauties in this thread (as well as in the other threads in the Marathi forum) ... *ye dialogue to old-times har newbie se sun sun ke pakk chuke honge*

being a bambaiyya myself, I identify with most of the baal-geet mentioned here ... listening to "ek hazaar ek shey athyainshi Khz var" and on dear ol' Mumbai Doordarshan... all before Cable TV invaded our lives

Hope to request all these songs again ..... maybe after a few weeks or so ..till the server useage / TMship, etc gets resolved.

Vivek

Hey Visuja,
Welcome aboard.... Going by the number of your posts in such a short span, it seems you are having real fun here !!!!
Hope you get to download songs soon !!! Let us know whichever songs you would like to be posted again.... It would be a pleasure to bring them back for you !!!

-Dhananjay

Admin.

I want to request to upload some baal geete posted earlier ..
I will be grateful if any one can share these songs -

Gori Bahuli Kuthun Aanali
Singer: Asha Bhonsle

Kon Aavade Adhik Tula
Singer: Asha Bhonsle and Usha Mangeshkar

Aai Vhavhi Mulgi Majhi
Singer: Usha Mangeshkar

Pir Pir Pir Pavasachi

Kalakichya Tokavar Tanlay Dor
Singer: Yogesh Khadikar

Vihinbai Vihinbai Utha Aata Utha
Singer - Sushama Shreshta

Hi Nilay,

One of your requests:

Song: Kon Aavade Adhik Tula
Singers: Asha Bhosle & Usha Mangeshkar
Music: Srinivas Khale
Lyrics: GaDiMa
128kbps/6:54

Asha sings for the girl explaining why she likes her 'Baba' and Usha sings for the boy who likes his 'Aai' more. Though some of the 'arguments' may not be valid in today's world of men-women equality, it is still a very cute balgeet...hats-off to GaDiMa!

At the end the girl seems to be winning the argument...they always do, don't they !

Listen & enjoy!

Regards
Sunil.
