Daa dir daaraa.. meri laadli
Posted on: May 1, 2009
I have listened to this song many times, and this sounded like a fun song to listen to.
All these days, I was not aware which movie this song was from. So imagine my plaesant surprise when he realised that this song was from “Andaaz” (1949), the movie whose songs I am posting regularly these days.
Watching the picturisation, I see that this is a birthday song. That makes it one of the oldest birthday songs in Bollywood movies, I think. Majrooh Sultanpuri wrote the fun lyrics and Naushad composed the music.
This song is a kids song as well, and considering that it is a song from “Andaaz”, it has to be a “piano” song as well. For a change, this time it is Cuckoo and not Dilip Kumar who is seated at the piano. Dilip Kumar in fact appears in the midst of the song like an unexpected guest and finding him there in the party, Nargis paused abruptly in the middle of the song, and resumes only when prompted by Cuckoo.
This is the ninth song from this movie that I have posted so far, and there are still a few more songs yet to be posted from this movie. That is the kind of musical blockbuster this movie was !
Song-Da dir daara… meri laadli (Andaaz) (1949) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD-Naushad
Lyrics
daa dir daaraa dir daaraa daa dir daaraa
daa dir daaraa dir daaraa daa dir daaraa
meri laadli ri meri laadli ri bani hai
taaron ki tu raani
taaron ki tu raani
meri laadli ri meri laadli ri bani hai
taaron ki tu raani
taaron ki tu raani
neel gagan par baadal dole dole har ik taaraa
daa dir daaraa dir daaraa daa dir daaraa
chaand ke andar budhiyaa dole
daa dir daaraa daa dir daaraa daa dir daaraa daa dir daa
chaand ke andar budhiyaa dole
thumuk-thumuk dir daaraa
meri laadli ri meri laadli ri bani hai
taaron ki tu raani
taaron ki tu raani
kamlaa gaaye bimlaa gaaye
kamlaa gaaye bimlaa gaaye gaaye kunbaa saaraa
daa dir daaraa dir daaraa daa dir daaraa
ghunghat kaadh ke gudiyaa naache
daa dir daaraa daa dir daaraa daa dir daaraa daa dir daa
ghunghat kaadh ke gudiyaa naache
jhoome re gudda pyaaraa
meri laadli ri meri laadli ri bani hai
taaron ki tu raani
taaron ki tu raani
butler naache bairaa naache naache moti aayaa
daa dir daaraa dir daaraa daa dir daaraa
kaale saahab kaa topaa naache
daa dir daaraa daa dir daaraa daa dir daaraa daa dir daa
kaale saahab kaa topaa naache
gori mem kaa saayaa
meri laadli ri meri laadli ri bani hai
taaron ki tu raani
taaron ki tu raani
