Magic in Tunes – Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani

For all songs in this series, go here

This song is from the 1972 Indian Hindi-language musical romance film Jawani Diwani (= Crazy youth). I posted couple songs from this movie earlier. Here is one more song. The title of the hit film, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013) was taken from this song, which in turn was recreated from his own version in the Indian Bengali-language movie Rajkumari, while it was subsequently recreated in the 2019 movie Student of the Year 2, a sequel to Student of the Year.

Music composed by R. D. Burman to the Lyrics penned by Anand Bakshi. Sung by Kishore Kumar.

Lyrics transliterated:

Hey Yeh Jawani Tara Ruru, Hai Deewani Tara Ra Ruru; Rararara Zuzuzuzu

Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, Ha Meri Rani, Ruk Jao Rani

Dekh Zara Peechhe Mud Ke, Chali Kahan Aise Ud Ke; Hey Hey!

Gili Gili Akkha, Gili Gili Akkha, Gili Gili Akkha

Bili Bili Bili Bili Bili

Gili Gili Akkha, Gili Gili Akkha, Gili Gili Akkha

Bili Bili Bili Bili Bili

Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, Ha Meri Rani, Ruk Jao Rani

Dekh Zara Peechhe Mud Ke, Chali Kahan Aise Ud Ke

Baatein Mulakatein Karne Ki Shaam Hai; Aise Mein Hai Roothna Deewanon Ka Kaam Hai

Dekho Tauba Tauba

Baatein Mulakatein Karne Ki Shaam Hai; Aise Mein Hai Roothna Deewanon Ka Kaam Hai

Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, Ha Meri Rani, Ruk Jao Rani

Dekh Zara Peechhe Mud Ke, Chali Kahan Aise Ud Ke

Roothi Chal Jhoothi Bas Tooti Dosti; Shikwa Hai Hothon Pe Aankhon Mein Pyar Bhi

Dekho Tauba Tauba

Roothi Chal Jhoothi Bas Tooti Dosti; Shikwa Hai Hothon Pe Aankhon Mein Pyar Bhi

Hey Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, Ha Meri Rani, Ruk Jao Rani

Dekh Zara Peechhe Mud Ke, Chali Kahan Aise Ud Ke

Milke Dil Dil Se Khil Jaata Banke Phool; Par Tujhko Na Bhooli Chhoti Si Meri Bhool

Dekho Tauba Tauba

Milke Dil Dil Se Khil Jaata Banke Phool; Par Tujhko Na Bhooli Chhoti Si Meri Bhool

Hey Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, Ha Meri Rani, Ruk Jao Rani

Dekh Zara Peechhe Mud Ke, Chali Kahan Aise Ud Ke

Hey Hey!

Gili Gili Akkha, Gili Gili; Akkha, Gili Gili Akkha
