Do lafzon ki hai dil ki kahaani
Posted on: March 20, 2009
“The Great Gambler” was an Amitabh Bachchan movie that was pronounced a damp squib when it was released in 1979. That came as a surprise to me because I found it a more watchable movie than many of the supposedly successful Amitabh Bachchan movies like “Muqaddar Ka Sikandar”, “Suhaag” etc.
One song from “The Great Gambler” that I loved was this song “do lafzon ki hai dil ki kahaani”.
It is a boat song sung picturised in Venice, Italy and it begins with the boatman singing a song in Italian. Amitabh enquires from Zeenat Aman what the boatman was singing. When she begins to explain, Amitabh insists that her explanation should be in the form of a song ( in true Bollywood style). And that leads to this song.
I was not able to get hold of Sonia ji ;), so I hope some of my readers familiar with Italian will fill in the Italian words that the singer (Sharad Kumar it is) sings in the beginning of the song.
PS-I thank Raja and Kishor for the Italian words.
Asha Bhonsle regards this song as her absolute favourite song. She said so in a TV interview that was telecast on the occasion of her 77th birthday.

The lyrics lacks the second stanza.
The Italian words (with English translation) are:
Amore mio, (O My love,)
Dove sei tu? (Where are u?)
Sto cercando, (I’m looking for u,)
Tesoro mio! (O my treasure!)

You mean the Italian part was sung by Sharad Kumar. I thought they recorded the gondolier — really I did.

I guess, the two main reasons for this movie not doing well at box office were : (1) Shakti Samanta planned this movie in 1968 and it took more than 10 years to complete by which time the movie probably became out of sync with the late 70’s trend. (2) The movie got ‘Adult’ certification from the Censor Board.

Sharad Kumar is Sharad Kumar ( Bader) from Calcutta, who debuted with PAISA YA PYAR in 1969.
He was famous for his Elves Presley songs performed in the King’s get up. Toured the world with his concerts before settling down in Canada ( Vancouver, West Coast, Toronto, and, finally Markham).
I think he wrote the Italian lyrics here .

Soniaji is probably busy with elections atm 🙂
I do not know Italian and I am not sure but I think the Italian is something like this :
amore mio, dove stai tu…sto cercando…sei solo mio
Very nice song. This is one of Asha Bhonsle’s favourites – she mentioned this song when she was once asked about her favourite song with RD Burman.
