Magic in Tunes – Chak De! Chak De! India

For all songs in this series, go here

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
