Jai Jai Shiv Shankar Kaanta lage na kankar
Posted on: July 24, 2008
A mast mast song from 1970s, that had everyone dancing on their feet. The song is great, sung wonderfully by Kishore and Lata,and it has a characteristic foot tapping music by R D Burman. It was filmed on the reigning heart throbs Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz.And let us not forget the lyrics. It is the lyrics of Anand Bakshi, so simple, so effective, and so easy to sing that has made this song one of the perennial favourites for most Bollywood music lovers.
Mumtaz, as usual, is full of spontaneity,bubbly enthusiasm and gay abandon. Presence of Mumtaz enhances the pleasure of watching the song.
Rajesh Khanna, no great shakes as a dancer, shakes his leg in a characteristic way. He would bend slightly forward,and rotate haltingly on his feet once or twice, and would also move unsteadily forward and back, all this while his right hand would be raised skyward.In all, he gave the appearance of a lattoo (Top) trying to rotate on its axis,but falling away after two rotations.But he was the reigning superstar, and even this mannerism had spawned millions of admirers trying to dance the same ungainly way in those days.
A genuinely feel good song, that has not aged one bit, nor looks like doing so. And this song rightly deserves its evergreen stature.
Song: Jai Jai Shiv Shankar,Kaanta lage na kankar (Aapki Kasam) (1974) Singers-Kishore Kumar,Lata,chorus,Lyrics-Anand Bakshi,MD-R D Burman
Lyrics
Hai Jai Bolo Shiv Shankar Ki Jay

jay jay Shiv Shankar
Kaanta lage na kankar
jay jay Shiv Shankar
Kaanta lage na kankar
ke pyaalaa tere naam kaa piyaa
ho~ gir jaaungi, main mar jaaungi
jo toone mujhe thaam na liyaa
ho sau Rab dii!
jay jay Shiv Shankar
Kaanta lage na kankar
ke pyaalaa tere naam kaa piyaa
ho~ gir jaaungi, main mar jaaungi
jo toone mujhe thaam na liyaa
ho sau Rab dii!
ek ke do do ke chaar mujhko to dikhate hain
aisaa hi hota hai jab do dil milte hain
ek ke do do ke chaar mujhko to dikhate hain
aisaa hi hotaa hai jab do dil milte hain
sar pe zameen paanv ke neeche hai aasamaan, ho~
sau Rab dii!
sau Rab dii!
sau Rab dii!
sau Rab dii!
jay jay Shiv Shankar
Kaanta lage na kankar
ke pyaalaa tere naam kaa piyaa
ho~ gir jaaungi, main mar jaaungi
jo toone mujhe thaam na liyaa
ho sau Rab dii!
O Bansi Bhaiyya..
He He He..
O More Raja Bade Jatna Se ki Chune teri phulwaari ke ri..
kandhe pe sar rakh ke tum mujhko sone do
mastii mein jo chaahe ho jaaye hone do
kandhe pe sar rakh ke tum mujhko sone do
mastii mein jo chaahe ho jaaye hone do
aise mein tum ho gaye ho bade beimaan, ho~
sau Rab dii!
sau Rab dii!
sau Rab dii!
sau Rab dii!
hurr
jay jay Shiv Shankar
Kaanta lage na kankar
ke pyaalaa tere naam kaa piyaa
ho~ gir jaaungi, main mar jaaungi
jo toone mujhe thaam na liyaa
ho sau Rab dii!
raste mein ham dono ghar kaise jaayenge
ghar vaale ab hamko khud lene aayenge
raste mein ham dono ghar kaise jaayenge
ghar vaale ab hamko khud lene aayenge
kuchh bhi ho lekin mazaa aa gayaa merii jaan, ho~
sau Rab dii!
sau Rab dii!
sau Rab dii!
sau Rab dii!
jay jay Shiv Shankar
Kaanta lage na kankar
ke pyaalaa tere naam kaa piyaa
ho~ gir jaaungi, main mar jaaungi
jo toone mujhe thaam na liyaa
ho sau Rab dii!
Arre bajao re bajao, imaandaari se bajao
Translation–
It is very difficult to translate a song like this into English.Still, he is my non literal translation of the key lines.
Hail Shiv hail Shankar
Let us be safe from danger
I imbibed some on your name
I swear on God
I may fall down, I may hurt myself
unless you stop me from falling by holding me
I see two for one and four for two
That is what happens when two hearts meet
There is ground over my head and sky beneath my feet
I swear on God
Let me lie down with my head resting on your shoulder
Let things take their own course, as they may like to take
Under these circumstances, your intentions do not appear honourable to me
with our condition like this,how will we go home
Do not worry, they will come and take us home
Whatever it was,but it was great fun,my dear
