aao tumhe chand pe le jaye

Chanda mama playing Santa Claus's abode :)

A genre which is lost in oblivion,i.e songs dedicated to kids. A few songs of this genre include:

<From the blog>

sunte sunte yeh meri kahani

chanda ko dhundne

gudiya humse ruthi rahogi
dadi amma, dadi amma, maan jao
nani teri morni ko 
mori atariya pe kaga bole

and many more..

Sweetness of Nightingale, Innocence from the pen of Gauhar Kanpuri and  directed to perfection from the 'rosogulla' resident,Mr. Bappi Lahiri..

<Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle all the way

Santa Claus is coming around ,riding on a sleigh

Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle all the way

Santa Claus is coming around ,riding on a sleigh>

aao tumhe chand pe le jaaye

pyaar bhare sapne sajaaye

chota sa bangla banaaye

ek nayi duniya basaaye

aao tumhe chand pe le jaaye

pyaar bhare sapne sajaaye

chota sa bangla banaaye

ek nayi duniya basaaye

aao tumhe chand pe le jaaye

pyaar ki hai duniya

door aasmaan pe

milke na bichdde

koi waha pe

aisi bhi ek dagar hai

aisa bhi ek nagar

aao tumhe chand pe le jaaye

pyaar bhare sapne sajaaye

chota sa bangla banaaye

ek nayi duniya basaaye

gham jahan soye

aur khushi jage

aaj ki hai manzil

taaro se aaghe

dil waha rote nahi hai 

aasu to hote nahi hai

aao tumhe chand pe je laye

pyaar bhare sapne sajaaye

chota sa bangla banaaye

ek nayi duniya basaaye

sunte sunte yeh meri kahaani

Serendipity

Browsing through old songs in Google Music, I stumbled upon this song which ,as per google, belonged to Patita(1953) and Patita(1980).

Though the song is new compared to the era we post about, the voice of Lata Mangeshkar  stands out  because of the clever music direction by Bappi Lahari providing a serene and mild background score.

Movie: Patita(1980)

Singer: Lata Mangeshkar

Music Director: Bappi Lahiri

Cast: Mithun Chakraborty, Padma Khanna

sunte sunte yeh meri kahaani 

chupke se so jaana 

sunte sunte yeh meri kahaani 

chupke se so jaana 

mere babul ki tu ek nishani 

kabhi na kho jaana 

sunte sunte yeh meri kahaani 

chupke se so jaana 

andekhe sapnon ke peeche bhage 

jiske liye hum raaton ko jaage 

andekhe sapnon ke peeche bhage 

jiske liye hum raaton ko jaage 

ayegi woh subah suhaani 

chupke so jaana 

sunte sunte yeh meri kahaani 

chupke se so jaana 

hum reh gaye duniya mei akele 

phir bhi hai dil mein yaadon ke mele 

hum reh gaye duniya mei akele 

phir bhi hai dil mein yaadon ke mele 

phir milenge woh khushiyaan puraani 

chupke se so jana 

sunte sunte yeh meri kahaani 

chupke se so jaana 

yun apni ankhiyaan tu meech lena 

phir dhere se tu awaaz dena 

yun apni ankhiyaan tu meech lena 

phir dhere se tu awaaz dena 

aaja aaja re nindiyaan rani 

chupke se so jana 

sunte sunte yeh meri kahaani 

chupke se so jaana 

Door door tum rahe

A night of a beautiful romantic tryst, expressed in the melodious voice of Lataji 

Chalte Chalte (1976)

Music: Bappi Lahiri

Lyrics: Amit Khanna

Singer: Lata Mangeshkar

Simi Grewal, Vishal Anand

Door door tum rahe,

pukarte hum rahe,

aaj ki raat tum jao na.

Aakar baahon me,

samakar aahon me,

ab yoon nazar ko churao na..

Door door tum rahe,

pukarte hum rahe,

aaj ki raat tum jao na.

Aaj raat ko, husn ishq ko,

phir bula raha hai, phir bula raha hai

Aag pani me, kis pyaar se

phir mila raha hai, phir mila raha hai,

Phir se wo pyaare bahar ke din aaj tum,

le aao na.

Door door tum rahe,

pukarte hum rahe,

aaj ki raat tum jao na.

Aakar baahon me,

samakar aahon me,

ab yoon nazar ko churao na..

Door door tum rahe,

pukarte hum rahe,

aaj ki raat tum jao na.

Chalte chalte kahin,

beech raah me,

kho gaye the tum,

kho gaye the tum.

Pyaar me khokar,

hamare hi hokar,

ho gaye the gum

ho gaye the gum

Pyaasi tumhari tabse ab hoon ab tum,

tarsao na,

Door door tum rahe,

pukarte hum rahe,

aaj ki raat tum jao na.

Aakar baahon me,

samakar aahon me,

ab yoon nazar ko churao na..
