Gaane ka kuchumbur

Gaane ka kuchumbur would mean something like rape of a song, but kuchumbur is no drastic word like rape, much more like pounding.

Anyway as a child I quite often used to indulge unwittingly in this hobby of mine.

Surfing through you tube yesterday met this song after a long, long, long, long time and for the first time in my life realised the lyrics.

I used to sing it as

ja re ja o harjaayi

dekhi teri dir daari

dil de re de re bairi

dil ki hai dir darii

By the way is that Helen, who is standing with a shawl over her shoulders?

And in the middle of the song it starts snowing and nobody seems to feel the cold, though dressed in thin clothes (at least the dancers).

But all the same a nice song, isn’t it? Good composition by Kalyanji-Anandji!
