Gori gori gaaon ki gori re
Posted on: October 30, 2008
“Ye Gulistaan hamara” was a Dev Anand movie that few people remember today. The movie itself sank without a trace.
Ironically, this movie had a better storyline than some of the rubbish Dev Anand movies that met with better fate at the box office. May be the movie deserved it because Dev Anand in any case would not bother much about authenticity of picturisation in his movies.
Like most Dev Anand movies, this movie had music by S D Burman, and Burman da could be counted upon to come up with memorable music, irrespective of the commercial success ( or lack of it) of the movie.
The most popular song of this movie was a song sung by Danny ( who was a newcomer then and was a source of great curiosity for the audience. This song “mera naam Yaao, mere paas aao” was very popular. Unfortunately I have been unable to find its video, otherwise I would have loved to post this song in my blog.
The one song from this movie that I could locate was this reasonably popular song of that time that went ” gori gori gaaon ki chhori re” which was sung by Kishore and Lata. Song itself is quite hummable, as long as you are not bothered with authenticity. Just imagine a notheastern tribal ( played by Sharmila Tagore) using words ike “sainya”, “bainya”, “bansuriya” etc in this song and you know what I mean.
Song- Gori gori gaaon ki gori re ( Ye gulistaan hamara ) (1972) Singers-Kishore Kumar, Lata, Lyrics- Anand Bakshi, MD-S D Burman
Lyrics
gori gori gaanv ki gori re
kis liye bun rahi dori re
o piyaa, Dorii se baandh le gorii re
bhaage jo karike tuu chori re
ai jiyaa
gori gori gaanv ki gori re
kachche hain tere ye resham ke dhaage
toot jaaye jo koi todke bhaage
jab se sainyyaa, tose nehaa laage
peechhe peechhe main hoon, tuu aage aage
khinche chale aaoge, jaaoge jahaan
jaake dekho to barjori re
o piyaa
gori gori gaanv ki gori re
main to ud jaauungaa ik panchhi jaise
mujhe tu bandii banaa legi kaise
tujhe main bandi banaa loongi kaise
sainyyan, bainyaa mein bainyaa daal ke aise
tore honthon se lag jaaungi main
banke baansuriyaa tori re
o piyaa
gori gori gaanv ki gori re
main hoon pardesi
main hoon pardesi, sunle phir naa kahnaa
chalaa jaanaa hai, yahaan nahin rahnaa
teraa rastaa dekhenge mere nainaa
yoon hi din beetegaa, beetegi rainaa
chahe chhup jaa tuu ghataaon mein chandaa
dhoond hi legi ye chakori re
o piyaa
gori gori gaanv ki gori re
kis liye bun rahi dori re
o piyaa, dori se baandh le gori re
bhaage jo karike tuu chori re
ai jiyaa
hmmm

Well, I forgot to add that I have been unable to find the audio as well. Otherwise I would have posted that song. It was a very popular song those days.

It’s pretty easy to post mp3 files on WordPress if you can’t find the video on YouTube or elsewhere, which is almost as good as having the video 🙂
