Nostalgia!!!!! Dhitang Dhitang Bole

This song brings back so many memories…..
When we were kids, my cousin Ramya taught us this song. She had learnt songs in a lot of languages when she was in Gujarat. She also taught us the dance for this…It seems very funny now…but back then…we all badly wanted to learn it…
Of course…expect for Bharathy and Vinod who always made fun of us (Sangu, Arthi, Priya and me)

Recently I was thinking of this song and decided to browse for the wordings….being a non Bengali…I had no idea if what we were singing was correct or not (of curse I found out that it was not bad…but still there were a lot of wrong words.
I also wanted to know the pronunciation of the words…so I did what I knew…googled…

I found this

Lovely Bengali song….atleast I like it a lot…

What was more interesting was …when I tried looking for the words I found that there is a hindi movie song with the same tune and words translated sung by Lata Mangeshkar. You can find that at

dhitang dhitang bole, ey madole tan tole
kar anando uchhole aakash bhore jochonaaye (2 times)

aaye re aaa aaye, aaye re aaye
aaye re aaa aaye, aaye re aaa aaa aaye…

I am now really nostalgic!!!!!!!!!!!!
