It is widely believed by people that western music was introduced in bollywood in 1960s by R D Burman and that Hinglish lyrics began to be used in 1980s. One is way off the mark if one believes so.

It all began in 1947 itself, and the person who was largely responsible for it was the pioneer music director C Ramchandra. This song from “Shehnaai(1947) sounds so modern and contemporary and it is such a big favourite with remixers/ cover version creators/ etc that it is difficult to believe that this song was created as long back as 62 years ago when there were few takers of this kind of music. Indeed this song was far far ahead of its time.

This is a comedy song and its lyrics written by Pyarelal Santoshi are quite amusing. The song is sung by C Ramchandra himself ( he was called Chitalkar while singing) and Meena Kapoor ( who later married music director Anil Biswas). This song also had a longer version in which Shamshad Begum also figured. So far I have not been able to locate that version of the song.

Initially only the audio version was posted but now I have located the video too. And this picturisation which I was dying to see is worth the wait. This rare clip shows Dulari (singing in the voice of Meena Kapoor) and Mumtaz Ali (singing in C Ramchandra’s voice). Mumtaz Ali was comedian Mehmood’s father.

The second part where Shamshad Begum sang this song was picturised on Rehana.

PS-Video version had voices of Lalita Deulkar and Amirbai Karnataki, while audio version had voices of Meena Kapoor and Shamshad Begam.

Lyrics

aana meri jaan meri jaan sunday ke sunday
aana meri jaan meri jaan sunday ke sunday
meri jaan meri jaan sunday ke sunday
aana meri jaan meri jaan sunday ke sunday
I love you

oo yaya I love you
bhaag yahaan se tu
tujhe Paris dikhaaun
tujhe London ghumaaun
tujhe brandy pilaaun whisky pilaaun
aur khilaaun khilaaun
murgi ke murgi ke
ande ande
aana meri jaan meri jaan sunday ke sunday

main dharam karam ki naari
tu neech videshi abhichaari
main dharam karam ki naari
tu neech videshi abhichaari
mama hain ganga pujaari
mama hain ganga pujaari
baba Kashi ke Kashi ke pande pande
aana meri jaan meri jaan sunday ke sunday

aao haathon me haath le walk karen ham
aao sweet sweet aapas me talk kare ham
arre hat
sainya mera pahalwaal hai
maare dand hazaar
haan haan maare dand hazaar
sainya mera pahalwaal hai
maare dand hazaar
haan haan maare dand hazaar
bhaag jaayega bedum bandar dega jo lalkaar
bhaag jaayega bedum bandar dega jo lalkaar
maare gin gin ke gin gin ke dande dande
aana meri jaan meri jaan sunday ke sunday

O my saab come come come
tum Romeo Juliet ham
O my saab come come come
tum Romeo Juliet ham
O dear come here dont fear
tatada papapa
ye gaaon ki native ladki hai
ye dil ki beating kya jaane
ye chasing hunting kya jaane
ye love ki meeting kya jaane
right righ right alright
aao dear ham chalen there
aao dear ham chalen there
where
there
gade muhabbat ke muhabbat ke jhande jhande
aana meri jaan meri jaan sunday ke sunday
