Chalo chalo chalen
Posted on: July 2, 2009
Many movies have been made in Bollywood on the story of Alibaba and forty thieves. The first such movie, that I am aware of, was made in 1954. It was a C grade movie and it had Mahipal and Shakila in lead roles.
Here is a light hearted song from this movie. It is sung by Rafi and Shamshad Begum. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, who is known for penning many serious songs, has written this song which shows that he had a great sense of humour too.
S N Tripathi as well as Chitragupta are credited as the music directors of this movie.

Lyrics
chalo chalo chalen ham babool ke tale
babool ke tale
thandi thandi hawaa hamen pankhe jhale
hamen pankhe jhale
ae hato hato hato haay pado na gale
pado na gale
jaao ji tumhaari yahaan daal na gale
yahaan daal na gale
ae chalo chalo chalen ham babool ke tale
babool ke tale
thandi thandi hawaa hamen pankhe jhale
hamen pankhe jhale
ham nahin jaayenge uyi kaantaa chubh jaayegaa
ji kaantaa chubh jaayegaa
ham nahin jaayenge uyi kaantaa chubh jaayegaa
are langdi hoke chalogi to
aur mazaa aayegaa ji
aur mazaa aayegaa
langdi hoke chalogi to
aur mazaa aayegaa ji
aur mazaa aayegaa
aisi baaten kahne waale tera munh jale
abe tera munh chale
ae chalo chalo chalen ham babool ke tale
babool ke tale
thandi thandi hawaa hamen pankhe jhale
hamen pankhe jhale
ham nahin jaayengen dekho phool badi door hai
babool badi door hai
ham nahin jaayengen dekho phool badi door hai
nakhre uthaane ke liye saath ye mazdoor hai
ji saath ye mazdoor hai
nakhre uthaane ke liye saath ye mazdoor hai
ji saath ye mazdoor hai
ankhen tere paaon ke tale
paaon ke tale
hato hato hato haay pado na gale
jaao ji tumhaari yahaan daal na gale
chalo chalo chalen ham babool ke tale
babool ke tale
thandi thandi hawaa hamen pankhe jhale
hamen pankhe jhale
thak jaaogi tum to main laa doonga ghode haathi
laa doonga ghode haathi
tumhi mere gadhe ghode tumhi mere saathi
ji tumhi mere haathi
ae mere dil kahin bhaag chal
bojh se dab ke main mar gaya
dhoondh le ab koi ghar nayaa
