Day 56: Today's song is Gore Gore O Banke Chore by Lata Mangeshkar & Amirbai Karnataki - Samadhi (1950)

It is day 56, and I am back after a week's break. I traveled to California to visit. I must say I am tired and sun burnt from playing out in the sun and trampoline with the 8 and 10 year old, but it was fun.

Today's song is Gore Gore O Banke Chore by Lata Mangeshkar & Amirbai Karnataki from the 1950 Bollywood movie Samadhi. Music is composed by C. Ramchandra, and lyrics written by Rajendra Krishan.

This song is a copy of the 1945 Spanish song Chico Chico from Puerto Rico. Chico meaning boy, or young man. Goes to show that Bollywood has been copying music from back in the day. Only in those days, and up until 1970s, they copied from Latin, Spanish and Italian music. All this time, until today I thought this was an original composition. Granted the verses melodies are original, but the hook...hmmm ;).

Lyrics:
Gore gore o banke chore
Kabhi meri gali aaya karo
Gori gori o banki chori
Chahe roz bulaya karo
Gore gore o banke chore
Kabhi meri gali aaya karo
Gori gori o banki chori
Chahe roz bulaya karo

Roz roz mulakaat achhi nahi
Pyar mein aisi baat achhi nahi
Thoda thoda milna thodi si judai
Sada chandni raat achhi nahi
Chhodo chhodo jiya na todo
Kisi aur ko jalaya karo
Gori gori o banki chori
Chahe roz bulaya karo
Gore gore o banke chore
Kabhi meri gali aaya karo
Gori gori o banki chori
Chahe roz bulaya karo

Chhoti si baat par ye ladai
Pyar ki duhai hai pyar ki duhai
Ankhiyo mein ankhiya dal ke to dekho
Chehre pe gussa hai dil mein safai
Ghadi ghadi o badi badi
Achhi bate na banaya karo
Gori gori o banki chori
Chahe roz bulaya karo
Gore gore o banke chore
Kabhi meri gali aaya karo
Gori gori o banki chori
Chahe roz bulaya karo


Thank you for listening!
Peace
