Magic in Tunes – Kanchi Re Kanchi Re

For all songs in this series, go here

This is from the 1972 Indian Hindi-language satirical musical drama film Hare Rama Hare Krishna. The film deals with the decadence of the Hippie culture, and aimed to have an anti-drug message and also depicts some problems associated with Westernization. It was influenced by the 1968 American psychedelic film Psych-Out.

Music for the film was composed by R. D. Burman to the Lyrics penned by Anand Bakshi. Sung by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar. I posted a few songs from this movie earlier.

Lyrics transliterated:

Hey Kanchi

Kanchi Re Kanchi Re Preet Meri Sanchi; Ruk Jaa Na Jaa Dil Tod Ke

Hoo Kanchi Re Kanchi Re Preet Meri Sanchi; Ruk Jaa Na Ja Dil Tod Ke

Ruk Jaa Na Jaa Dil Tod Ke

Tere Hatho Mein Hai Meri Dori Jaise; Kache Dhaage Se Main Bandha Aaya Aise

Hooo Tere Hatho Mein Hai Meri Dori Jaise; Kache Dhaage Se Main Bandha Aaya Aise

Mushkil Hai Jeena Dede Oh Haseena; Mushkil Hai Jeena Dede Oh Haseena

Wapas Mera Dil Mod Ke Ey Ey

Kancha Re Kancha Re Pyar Mera Sancha; Ruk Jaa Na Jaa Dil Tod Ke

Hooo Ruk Ja Na Ja Dil Tod Ke

Jhootha Hai Yeh Gussa Tera Sacha Nahi; Sacche Premi Ko Tadpana Acha Nahin

Hooo Jhootha Hai Yeh Gussa Tera Sacha Nahi; Sacche Premi Ko Tadpana Acha Nahin

Wapas Na Aaunga Main Jo Chala Jaunga; Wapas Na Aaunga Main Jo Chala Jaunga

Yeh Teri Galiyaan Chhor Ke Ey Ey

Kancha Re Kancha Re Pyar Mera Sancha; Ruk Jaa Na Jaa Dil Tod Ke

Hoo Kancha Re Kancha Re Pyar Mera Sancha; Ruk Jaa Na Jaa Dil Tod Ke

Rang Tere Mein Yeh Tan Rang Liya; Tan Kya Hai Maine Man Rang Liya

Oooo Rang Tere Mein Yeh Tan Rang Liya; Tan Kya Hai Maine Man Rang Liya

Bas Chup Hi Rehna Ab Phir Na Kehna; Bas Chup Hi Rehna Ab Phir Na Kehna

Ruk Jaa Na Ja Dil Tod Ke Aye Aye

Kancha Re Kancha Re Pyar Mera Sancha; Ruk Jaa Na Jaa Dil Tod Ke

Hoo Kancha Re Kancha Re Pyar Mera Sancha; Ruk Jaa Na Jaa Dil Tod Ke

Hoo Kanchi Re Kanchi Re; Kancha Re Kancha Re; Kanchi Re Kanchi Re

Kancha Re Kancha Re; Kanchi Re Kanchi Re; Kancha Re Kancha Re
