This is from the 2007 Indian Hindi-language sports film Chak De! India (= Let’s Go! India). Music was composed by Salim – Sulaiman (Musical Duo) to the Lyrics penned by Jaideep Sahni. Sung by Sukhwinder Singh, Salim–Sulaiman and Marianne D’Cruz.
Although this song was written for this sports film, revolving around Women’s Hockey, this has become a sports anthem and has been played across many sports events in India. And this has become the sports anthem for the country especially after India won the Cricket World Cup in 2011. This was one of the song sung by the singers on the TV’s reality show involving singers for Indian Republic Day. This was one of the movies that I wondered why SRK did such a matured role, as the coach of Indian Women’s Hockey Team, but he justified the role very much.
Lyrics transliterated:
Kuch Kariye, Kuch Kariye,
Nas Nas Meri Khode, Hai, Kuch Kariye
Kuch Kariye, Kuch Kariye,
Bas Bas Bada Bode, Aab, Kuch Kariye
Ho Koi Tho Chal Zid Padiye, Tu Bhetar Ya Mariye
Ho Koi Tho Chal Zid Padiye, Tu Bhetar Ya Mariye
Chak De Oh Chak De India, Chak De Oh Chak De India
Chak De Oh Chak De India, Chak De Oh Chak De India
Come On India, Nowhere To Run Nowhere To Hide
Lets Take Our Time, Lets Do Or Die
Nowhere To Run Nowhere To Hide
Lets Take Our Time, Lets Do Or Die
Poocho Mein Galiyon Mein, Rashan Ki Phaliyon Mein
Balion Mein Beejon Mein, Eeton Mein Theejo Mein
Reton Ke Gano Mein, Filmon Ke Gaano Mein
Sadko Ke Ghadon Mein, Baaton Ke Adon Mein
Ghuntale Ke Bharle, Tasbar Bar Karle
Rehna Na Yaar Peeche, Kitna Bhi Koi Gheete
Tashair Naam Bas Hai Jeen, Zid Hai Jho Zid Hai Ji
Kisna Yuhi Phisna Yuhi, Kisna Yuhi Phisna Yuhi, Bas Kariyen
Ho Koi Tho Chal Zid Padiye, Tu Bhetare Ya Mariye
Ho Koi Tho Chal Zid Padiye, Tu Bhetare Ya Mariye
Chak De Oh Chak De India, Chak De Oh Chak De India
Chak De Oh Chak De India, Chak De Oh Chak De India
Nowhere To Run Nowhere To Hide
Lets Take Our Time, Lets Do Or Die
Nowhere To Run Nowhere To Hide
Lets Take Our Time, Lets Do Or Die
Ladthi Patango Mein, Bhirti Umangon Mein
Khelon Ke Melon Mein, Balkhati Relon Mein
Gunno Ki Meethein Mein, Khaddar Mein Cheetein Mein
Dhoondo To Mil Jaave, Tapta Woh Eeton Mein
Thang Hi Sow Aaj Nikre, Aur Khoolke Aag Bhikre
Maan Jaye Eise Hoti, Rug Rug Machalke Bholi
Tashair Naam Bas Hai Jeen, Zid Hai Jho Zid Hai Ji
Kisna Yuhi Phisna Yuhi, Kisna Yuhi Bas Kariein
Ho Koi Tho Chal Zid Padiye, Tu Bhetare Ya Mariye
Koi Tho Chal Zid Padiye, Tu Bhetare Ya Mariye
Chak De Oh Chak De India, Chak De Oh Chak De India
Chak De Oh Chak De India, Chak De Oh Chak De India
