Today we look at some of the words and grammar from the song “Dance Pe Chance” which is from the movie “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi”.

Before we talk about the song, let us talk a little about the movie.  The title रब ने बना दी जोड़ी.

रब – God (from Arabic) (masculine) 

जोड़ी – couple (feminine)

आगे (aage) – in front

पीचे (piiche) – behind

यार (yaar) – friend

सिर को घुमा -  sar ko ghuma – turn your head

—–

Woh banda hi kya hai, jo naache na gaaye
Aa hathon mein tu haath thaam le

वो बंदा ही क्या है, जो नाचे न गाये आ हाथों मैं तू हाथ थाम ले।

What is that man who neither dances nor sings  Grab my hand

——

soniya – dearest, my love, etc… (term of endearment)

——-

Oh chal haath ghuma le yaara

Oh jaise suiyan saath se baarah

ओ चल हाथ घुमा ले यारा

ओ जैसे सुइयाँ सात से बारह

oh, turn your hand my hand like the needle from seven to 12.

You can buy the complete song in  MP3 format online from Amazon:

Today’s program is a lot longer than most of our programs. I had recorded about two months ago with Meena and Naraindas. I had been meaning to edit it and cut it into three parts. But it just makes a lot more sense to keep it together.

It is also a lot different format than a lot of our other programs. We review the words of the song Cheeni Kum. Click on the “play” arrow below to hear the lesson.

My Cheeni Kum – complete song

Lyrics of Cheeni Kum

((cheeni kum hai – 2), thodi thodi tujhe mein hai kum,
kum kum hai kum kum) – 2
dheere dheere, haule haule, door door hogi problem,
humdum o humdum
sunle kabhi, kehti hai kya, dil ki yeh sada bhi
(cheeni kum hai – 2), thodi thodi tujhe mein hai kum,
kum kum hai kum kum
dheere dheere, haule haule, door door hogi problem,
humdum o humdum

dard jaata hai muskuraake, dehkle dekhle aajamaake
narm hota hai mom jalke, dehkle dehkle tu phighal ke
maujo mein hai kalkal, lamho mein hai hulchal
thehra yahaan pe pal hai kyun, kyun
(cheeni kum hai – 2), thodi thodi tujhe mein hai kum,
kum kum hai kum kum
dheere dheere, haule haule, door door hogi problem,
humdum o humdum

khwaab rangin hai iss jahaan ke, dekhle dekhle tu sajaake
apane saaye se tu nikal ke, dekhle dekhle tu badal ke
rango ke hai mele, khushiyon ke hai rele
dhadkhan mein pehera kyun hai kyun, kyun
(cheeni kum hai – 2), thodi thodi tujhe mein hai kum,
kum kum hai kum kum
dheere dheere, haule haule, door door hogi problem,
humdum o humdum
sunle kabhi, kehti hai kya, dil ki yeh sada bhi
(cheeni kum hai – 2), thodi thodi tujhe mein hai kum,
kum kum hai kum kum
dheere dheere, haule haule, door door hogi problem, humdum o humdum
