Gorki patarki re maare gulelwaa jiyaraa udi udi jaaye
Posted on: July 7, 2009
Bollywood movies are supposed to be Hindi movies and their censor certificate mentions them as such. If one looks at the censor certificates of movies, one finds that a few movie are certified not as Hindi but as Urdu, For instance Nassir Hussain blockbuster “ham Kisi se ka nahin” is described as an Urdu movie by its censor certificate.
As far as common audiences are concerned, there is hardly any difference in the spoken form of Hindi and Urdu. So it is fair to say that the language spoken in Bollywood movies is more accurately a language that is Hindi and Urdu combined. This language could be called Hindustani language. In fact , many leaders including Mahatma Gandhi described it as Hindustani language.
Then there are many dialects of Hindi which too contribute words to Hindustani. Some of these dialects have so many speakers that it is financially viable to produce movies in these dialects.
One of the major dialect of Hindi is called Bhojpuri which is spoken in the state of Bihar and neighbouring parts of Uttar Pradesh.
People who understand Hindi/Urdu/Hindustani have little difficulty understanding Bhojpuri. There are many songs in Bollywood that are in Bhojpuri or similar dialects and no one realises that. For instance, the “Teesri Kasam” song “chalat musaafir moh liya re pinjre waali muniya” can well be called a Bhojpuri song. “Nain lad jainhe ” from “Ganga Jamuna” is another example.
Instead of making a small budget Bollywood movie which had few takers, it often made sense to make Bhojpuri movie with the same budget. Out of work Bollywood artists were available to work for these movies and these movies had a sizeable captive audience.
A small dummy’s guide for Bhojpuri in in order here , I think. Instead of “Bahu”,it is “patohu”, instead of “bhabhi”, it is “bhauji” in Bhojpuri. if you get it, you are half way there in understanding Bhojpuri. And then take any common noun and add the suffix “wa” or “ya” as the case may be. Thus “bachcha” becomes “bachchwa” and “pardesi” becomes “pardesiya”. That more or less is it.
One of the most successful Bhojpuri movies was “Balam Pardesiya”(1979). Rakesh Pandey and Padma Khanna, small time actors in Bollywood,played the lead roles in this movie. other important actors in this were also Bollywood actors.
When it came to the music, the music was superhit in the Bihar-UP circuit. And the team who created this hit music reads no different from a typical Bollywood movie music team. Chitragupta was the music director and Anjaan was the lyricist. Songs were sung by Rafi and Asha Bhonsle and they perfectly understood the language that they were singing in.
This song “gorki patarki re” is a love song and it was extremely popular in its catchment area. It is sung by Rafi and Asha Bhonsle and picturised on Rakesh Pandey and Padma Khanna, two actors with Bihari roots. Padma
Khanna was a Punjabi based in Bihar and she looked the quintessential Biharan, and she in fact was regarded
as the Hema Malini of Bhojpuri movie those days.
So here is this hugely popular song from “balam pardesiya”.
Song-Gorki patarki re maare gulelwaa jiyaraa udi udi jaaye (Balam Pardesiya) (1979) Singers-Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, Lyrics-Anjaan, MD-Chitragupta
Lyrics
gorki patarki re
ho ho ae ho
chhori patarki re
maare gulelwaa jiyaraa udi udi jaaye
gorki paratki re
maare gulelwaa jiyaraa udi udi jaaye
sainyaa sanwarka re
ho ho ae ho
sainyaa sanwarka re
tori nazariya jiyaa me gadi gadi jaaye
sainyaa sanwarka re
tori nazariya jiyaa me gadi gadi jaaye
goriya khetwa kyaari
kaahe maare ghazab siskaari
goriya khetwa kyaari
kaahe maare ghazab siskaari
tharthar kaanpe re jiyara
ho tharthar kaanpe re jiyara
chale hamra karejwaa aari
naajuk jaiha lachke jaise
bauran ambuwa ki daali
ho sun tori boliya re
ho ho ae ho
sun tori boliya re
khulke guleliya
guyiyaan gir gir jaaye
gorki patarki re
maare gulelwaa jiyaraa udi udi jaaye
sajke kaahe bihanwa
kaahe dole re aage peeche
sajke kaahe bihanwa
kaahe dole re aage peeche
kabse tarse paranwaa
kabse tarse paranwaa
jaane kab toraa manwaa paseeje
jaani re ham tohra jiyraa
jaani re ham tohra jiyraa
kaahe ham par reejhe
haay gulbadaniya re
ho ho ae ho
haay gulbadaniya re
tohra nakharwaa din din badhi badhi jaaye
sainyaa sanwaraka re
tori nazariya jiyaa me gadi gadi jaaye
bainya me aawa simatke
ab laaj sharam bisraajaa
bainya me aawa simatke
ab laaj sharam bisraajaa
mangiya bhar ke sindurwa
ho mangiya bhar ke sindurwa
piyaa pahile suhaagin banaa jaa
tohre kaaran sulge manwa
tohre kaaran sulge manwa
tuhi agiyaa bujhaa jaa
ho more sogandhwa re
ho ho ae ho
more sogandhwa re
tose lipatke
maina mari mari jaaye
gorki patarki re
maare gulelwaa jiyaraa udi udi jaaye
sainya sanwaraka re
tori najariya jiya me gadi gadi jaay

Please can you help to find a song-duet-but all lines are sung by female actress -the e male sings like a chorus
Ho Ho Ho and after a few lines by the female Ha Ha Ha ; etc
The middle of the song has these words
“dekhiye bapuji daye bhaye-then comes the male ho Ho Ho .
The scene is that the two are going in a Horse cart or rickshaw -or some kind of cart without the top.
I believe that the male chorus Ho Ho Ho ha Ha Ha etc is really sing by the MUSIC DIRECTOR or FILM Director himself and those are the lines he has ever sung.Please e-mail me a link if you can assist; Many thanks in advance.

Padma is one of those actresses who should have been more successful in “bollywood’ than she was…she must have been getting up there in age by 1979 🙂 Thanks for sharing this.
