Tirulila tirulila tirulila la
Posted on: March 31, 2011
“Daaman” (1951) is an obscure movie which had Ajit, Nigar Sultana, Agha,Pran etc in it.
This movie as well as its songs have been forgotten. I have no idea about the movie itself, but I am happy that the audio of songs of this movie are still available. And as is the case with the music of many obscure movies, the music of this movie too is delightful to listen to.
Here is a song from this movie which I first heard only a few hours ago. This song, which begins with what I think are gibberish words “Tirulila tirulila tirulila la” is sung with gusto by Lata. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan has written this song. Music is composed by a music director called K Datta. I am not aware about K Datta and this song is his first composition in this blog- that is how obscure this movie and its music is.
Though only the audio of this song is available, I guess that this song must have been picturised on Nigar Sultana as a club song.
Song-Tirulila Tirulila tirulila la(Daaman) (1951) Singer-Lata, Lyrics-Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, MD-K Datta

Atul ji,
What a find; I have never heard this song before, and it is just so good. 🙂
The line with the question marks is actually a variation on the seven notes of sragam in English i.e. do-re-me-fa-so-la-ti.
The variation used in this song is “do-me-fa-so-la-ti-so”
You would surely have heard the English song from the movie “Sound of Music”.
“Doe (DO), a deer, a female deer
Ray (RE), a drop of golden sun
Me (ME), a name I call myself
Far (FA), a long long way to run
Sew (SO), a needle pulling thread
La (LA), a note to follow sew
Tea (TI), a drink with jam and bread
That brings us back to DO oh – oh oh”
(Gulzar created a similar sounding song for Parichay (1972), – “Saare ke saare gama ko le kar gaate chale”.)

Beautiful song by Lata.First i had listened this on Radio Ceylon in early sixties.Words & voice mingle with music such that you are overwhelmed.
Certainly it is collector’s item.
Thanks for the upload.

Music Director K.Datta’s name was Datta Korgaonkar.He was active in the 40s and 50s.
Some of his movies were Rangmahal,Rishta,Daaman etc.One song from Daaman was ‘Chakori ka chandase pyar’,which was not only very popular but also declared by Lata as one of her Favourite songs.
K.Datta helped Lata quite a lot in her early career when she needed money for the family badly.
K.Datta gave music to many Marathi movies,under his real name Datta Korgaonkar.
