Aaja o rasiyaa saawan ke din aaye
Posted on: January 21, 2012
“Champakali” (1957) is a Filmistan Production. It was directed by Nadlal Jaswantlal. The starcast included names like Bharat Bhushan, Suchitra Sen,Pran, Mubarak, Shobha Khote, S. L. Puri, Mumtaz Begum, Ram Avtaar etc.
I have discussed as many as four songs from this movie including the well known song Chhup gaya koyi re door se pukaar ke.
Here is another song from the movie. This song is sung by Lata, Manna Dey and chorus. It is picturised on many actors and I can identify Bharat Bhushan, Suchitra Sen, Shubha Khote among them.
Rajinder Krishan is the lyricist and music is composed by Hemant Kumar.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by nahm.
When I heard the song, I thought that the female voice is Asha Bhonsle, but I find that all sources mention the female singer as Lata. If that is the case then I think it must be a rare occasion where Lata sings a song in Asha Bhonsle’s style. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this song.
PS-Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh informs us that the audio versio of this song had the voice of Lata whereas the picturised version had the voice of Asha Bhonsle, so it is Asha Bhonsle singing in the picturised version after all.

Lyrics(Provided by nahm)
aa jaa o rasiyaa
saawan ke din aaye
aa jaa o rasiyaa
saawan ke din aaye
o ghataa kaari kaari jiyaa tadpaaye
ho rasiyaa
saawan ke din aaye
aaja o rasiyaa
saawan ke din aaye
o ghataa kaari kaari jiyaa tadpaaye
ho rasiyaa saawan ke din aaye
goonji baaghon mein koyal ki kook re
aaa aaa aa
utthi dil se muhabbat ki hook re
aaaa
hoy
goonji baaghon mein koyal ki kook re
utthi dil se muhabbat ki hook re
saiyyan jis din miley
kali dil ki khiley
mit jaayegi birhaa ki bhookh re
koyi jaa ke khabar teri laaye
ho rasiyaa
saawan ke din aaye
aa jaa o rasiyaa
saawan ke din aaye
o ghataa kaari kaari jiyaa tadpaaye
ho rasiyaa
saawan ke din aaye
teri paayal ki chham chham ke geet re
aaya sun sun ke pardesi meet re
ho aaya sun sun ke pardesi meet re
aaaaaa
aaaaaa
teri paayal ki chham chham ke geet re
aaya sun sun ke pardesi meet re
o naina kajra lagaa
baiyyan gajra sajaa
jaage manwaa mein soyee soyee preet re
kaahe ghoonghat mein ab sharmaaye
ho rasiyaa
saawan ke din aaye
aaja o rasiya
saawan ke din aaye
o ghataa kaari kaari jiyaa tadpaaye
ho rasiyaa saawan ke din aaye
aayin saj dhaj ke phoolon ki doliyaan
aaa aaa
peechhe peechhe hain bhanvron ki toliyaan
aaa aaa
hoy
aayin saj dhaj ke phoolon ki doliyaan
peechhe peechhe hain bhanvron ki toliyaan
dekho dekho agar takraayi nazar
dil bolegaa meethi meethi boliyaan
teri hi preet sajan man bhaaye
ho rasiyaa saawan ke din aaye
aa jaao rasiyaa
saawan ke din aaye
o ghataa kaari kaari jiyaa tadpaaye
ho rasiyaa
saawan ke din aaye
aa jaao rasiyaa
saawan ke din aaye
aa jaao rasiyaa
saawan ke din aaye

Atul ji,
CHAMPAKALI-1957 was a Filmistan movie,directed by its favourite director Nandlal Jaswantlal.He had given hits like Nagin,Anarkali,Sanam,Amrapali etc.In a span of 30 years,he had directed 18 films,from 1934 to 1963.
The music was by Hemant Kumar and here,his assistant was Ravi,who later indpendently gave several iconic songs to us.
The cast was Bharat Bhooshan,Suchitra Sen(MY God,what a contrast in acting abilities of the lead pair !),Pran,Shubha Khote,mubarak,prem,Ram avtar,mumtaz begum etc.
Lakha(Mubarak) is a chief of a Banjara tribe.he has a Daughter Champa,and an adopted youth Madho(BB).Once,camping near villege Belapur,Madha and Champa find a cute Flute player Raju(S.Sen).Soon there is love in Raju and Madho.He tells Raju that Champa is like a sister to him,whereas Champa also loves him.Veera (Pran) loves Raju.Thus Champa and veera are against this love couple.Champa tell Raju to keep away from Madho as she is to marry him.Raju stays away from Madho.
Lakha wants to dig a well for drinking water.While the work is going on,Veera informs Lakha about Madho and Raju.
Once Mado is bitten by a snake and only the flut of Raju can bring back the same snake to suck back the poison.Champa begs Raju and Raju saves Madho.
veera,to take revenge,ignites the Dynamite brought for digging the well,but falls in it and dies.Madho and Raju who are in the well are saved by Champa who also dies in thet attempt,thus paving the way for the marriage of Madho and Raju.
The end.

Atul ji,
Wah wah !
Aap ke swar pehchan ne ki daad deni padegi.
The above song IS in the voice of Asha Bhosale,manna Dey and others.
In the film,it is sung by Asha,where as in the gramophone record it is sung by Lata,Manna Dey and others.The record no. is N-52338.Since the above VDO clip is from film,Asha song is played.

Thanks a lot for this information. So this must be one of the rare cases where the video version is sung by Asha Bhonsle and the audio version by Lata and everyone mention the singer as Lata even for the video version.
