For all songs in this series, go here.
Prologue: A friend’s constant posts about some of the late 80s and early 90s tapori Bollywood songs prompted me to create this series Originally planned to post songs from Hindi (Indian Language) films only. Then I decided to find such songs in Telugu (= Indian Language), my mother tongue; and English. If you come across any songs in any language that would fall in this category, feel free to comment and I will post about them too.
Tapori = typically means a street thug with unique style of language; similar to ghettos. However it is crudely also used to mean something meaningless yet totally fun.
Bemaina = Urdu word for meaningless
Gaane = Songs
Next on this list is Rain is Falling Chama Cham Cham from the 1995 Indian Hindi-language action film Gunehgar (= Guilty) pictured on Atul Agnihotri and Pooja Bhatt. Background vocals provided by Sudesh Bhosle to the Music composed by Shyam-Surender; Lyrics penned by Surender Sathi. This song amuses me on how grammatically wrong the English lines were.
Here are the Lyrics from the song, transliterated into English:
Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan; Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan
Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan; Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan
Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan; Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan
Rain Is Falling Chhama Chham Cham; Rain Is Falling Chhama Chham Cham
Ladki Ne Aankh Mari Gir Gaye Hum
Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan; Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan
Rain Is Falling Chhama Chham Cham; Ladki Ne Aankh Mari Gir Gaye Hum
Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan; Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan
Chat Pe Khadi Thi Meri Gulbadan; Mein Tha Gali Mein Mere Lad Gaye Nayan
Chat Pe Khadi Thi Meri Gulbadan; Mein Tha Gali Mein Mere Lad Gaye Nayan
Dekh Ke Dil Machal Gaya; Paanv Mera Phisal Gaya; Dekho Re Dekho Mera Dewanapan
Rain Is Falling Chhama Chham Cham
Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan; Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan
Hey Rain Is Falling Chhama Chham Cham; Ladki Ne Aankh Mari Gir Gaye Hum
Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan; Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan
Dil Me Utha Hai Dekho Kaisa Toofan; Uski Adaao Ne Le Li Meri Jaan
Dil Me Utha Hai Dekho Kaisa Toofan; Uski Adaao Ne Le Li Meri Jaan
Aankho Se Loot Liya; Baaton Se Maar Diya
Rukne Lagi Mere Dil Ki Dhadkan
Arre Ye To Gaya
Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan; Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan
Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan; Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan
Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan; Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan
Rain Is Falling Chhama Chham Cham; Ladki Ne Aankh Mari Gir Gaye Hum
Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan; Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan
Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan; Tan Tana Tan Tanan Tanan
