I remember watching this as a child on DD!
नानी तेरी मोरनी को मोर ले गए te
October 12, 2009 at 6:44 am (Hindi, Kids, Rhyme)
This is the very pupular – naani teri morni ko from Masoom(1960). Audio is not very clear but this is the only one I could find 😐 –
Lyrics in Hindi:
नानी तेरी मोरनी को मोर ले गए
बाकी जो बचा था काले चोर ले गए (२)
खाके पीके मोटे होके चोर बैठे रेल में
चोरों वाला डिब्बा कट के पहुँचा सीधा जेल में (२)
नानी तेरी मोरनी को मोर ले गए
बाकी जो बचा था काले चोर ले गए
उन चोरों की खूब खबर ली मोटे थानेदार ने
मोरों को भी खूब नचाया जंगल की सरकार ने (२)
नानी तेरी मोरनी को मोर ले गए
बाकी जो बचा था काले चोर ले गए
अच्छी नानी प्यारी नानी रूसा रूसी छोड़ दे
जल्दी से एक पैसा दे दे तू कंजूसी छोड़ दे
अच्छी नानी प्यारी नानी रूठा रूठी छोड़ दे
जल्दी से एक पैसा दे दे तू कंजूसी छोड़ दे
नानी तेरी मोरनी को मोर ले गए
बाकी जो बचा था काले चोर ले गए (२)
Lyrics in English:
Naani teri morni ko mor le gaye
baaki jo bacha tha kaale chor le gaye (2)
khaake peekhe mote hoke chor baithe rail me
choron waala dabaa kat ke pahunchaa seedha jail me (2)
Nani teri morni ko mor le gaye
baaki jo bacha tha kaale chor le gaye
un choron ki khoob khabar li mote thaanedaar ne
moron ko bhi khoob nachaaya jungle ki sarkaar ne (2)
Nani teri morni ko mor le gaye
baaki jo bacha tha kaale chor le gaye
achchi naani pyaari naani roosa roosi chhod de
jaldi se ek paisa de de tu kanjoosi chhod de
achchi naani pyaari naani rootha roothi chhod de
jaldi se ek paisa de de tu kanjoosi chhod de
Nani teri morni ko mor le gaye
baaki jo bacha tha kaale chor le gaye (2)
Where is Thumbkin? & Itsy Bitsy Spider
September 22, 2009 at 6:46 am (English, hand gestures, Rhyme)
Hand guestures for both the rhymes – Where is Thumbkin? and Itsy Bitsy Spider:
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Generally, two different rhymes are in different posts on this blog. However, this post is an exception. I wanted to post only itsy bitsy spider. But then, could not find a hand gestures video (the way I do it) – which has only this rhyme. It was clubbed with Where is Thumbkin?. So, here go both the rhymes:
Here are the lyrics for Where is Thumbkin?:
Where is thumbkin?
Where is thumbkin?
Here I am (Bring right hand out from behind back with thumb)
Here I am (Bring left hand out from behind back with thumb)
How are you today, sir? (Move right thumb as if talking)
Very fine, I say sir (Move left thumb as if responding.)
Run away (Take right hand beind your back)
Run away (Take left hand beind your back)
Where is pointer?
Where is pointer? (Hands behind back)
Here I am (Bring right hand out from behind back with index finger)
Here I am (Bring left hand out from behind back with index finger)
How are you today, sir? (Move right index finder as if talking)
Very fine, I say sir (Move left index finger as if responding.)
Run away (Take right hand beind your back)
Run away (Take left hand beind your back)
Where is tallman?
Where is tallman? (Hands behind back)
Here I am (Bring right hand out from behind back with middle finger)
Here I am (Bring left hand out from behind back with middle finger)
How are you today, sir? (Move right middle finger as if talking)
Very fine, I say sir (Move left middle finger as if responding.)
Run away (Take right hand beind your back)
Run away (Take left hand beind your back)
Where is ring man?
Where is ring man? (Hands behind back)
Here I am (Bring right hand out from behind back with ring finger)
Here I am (Bring left hand out from behind back with ring finger)
How are you today, sir? (Move right ring finger as if talking)
Very fine, I say sir (Move left ring finger as if responding.)
Run away (Take right hand beind your back)
Run away (Take left hand beind your back)
Where is pinkie?
Where is pinkie? (Hands behind back)
Here I am (Bring right hand out from behind back with little finger)
Here I am (Bring left hand out from behind back with little finger)
How are you today, sir? (Move right little finger as if talking)
Very fine, I say sir (Move left little finger as if responding.)
Run away (Take right hand beind your back)
Run away (Take left hand beind your back)
Now, the lyrics for the more popular Itsy bitsy spider:
Itsy bitsy spider, went up the water sprout
Down came the rain, and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain
And itsy bitsy spider went up the sprout again.
सात समुन्दर पार से – The complete song
September 15, 2009 at 5:56 am (Hindi, Kids, Lullaby, song)
I thought, this was a rhyme my mom sang for me, until I found out it is actually a lovely song from the movie Taqdeer. Not sure if the song was based on the rhyme or the rhyme based on the song. Anyway, here goes:
Here are the lyrics in Hindi:
सात समुन्दर पार से गुडियों के बाजार से
अच्छी सी गुडिया लाना
गुडिया चाहे ना लाना , पप्पा जल्दी आ जाना
तुम परदेस गए जब से, बस यह हाल हुवा तब से
दिल दीवाना लगता है, घर वीराना लगता है
झिलमिल चाँद सितारों ने, दरवाजो दीवारों ने
सबने पूछा है हम से, (कब जी छूटेगा ग़म से -2)
कब होगा उनका आना, पप्पा जल्दी आजाना
माँ भी लोरी नहीं गाती, हमको नींद नहीं आती
खेल खिलौने टूट गए, संगी साथी छूट गए
जीब हमारी खाली है, और बसी दीवाली है
हम सबको ना तड़पाओ, (अपने घर वापस आओ -2)
और कभी फिर ना जाना, पप्पा जल्दी आजाना
ख़त ना समझो तार है यह, कागज़ नहीं है प्यार है यह
दूरी और इतनी दूरी, ऐसी भी क्या मजबूरी
तुम कोई नादान नहीं, तुम इससे अनजान नहीं
इस जीवन के सपने हो, (एक तुम्ही तो अपने हो -2)
सारा जग है बेगाना, पप्पा जल्दी आजाना
Here are the lyrics in English:
saat samundar paar se gudiyo ke bajaar se
achhee see gudiya laana
gudiya chaahe na laana, pappa jaldee aa jaana
tum pardes gaye jab se, bas yeh haal huwa tab se
dil divaana lagata hai, ghar viraana lagata hai
jhilmil chaand sitaaro ne, darwaajo divaaro ne
sabne puchha hai ham se, (kab jee chhutega gham se -2)
kab hoga unaka aana, pappa jaldee aa jaana
ma bhee loree nahee gaatee, hamko nind nahee aatee
khel khilaune tut gaye, sangee saathee chhut gaye
jeb hamaaree khaalee hai, aur basee deewali hai
ham sabko na tadpaao, (apne ghar wapas aao -2)
aur kabhee phir na jaana, pappa jaldee aa jaana
khat na samjho taar hai yeh, kaagaj nahee hai pyaar hai yeh
duree aur itanee duree, aisee bhee kya majburee
tum koyee naadan nahee, tum isase anjaan nahee
iss jivan ke sapane ho, (ek tumhee toh apane ho -2)
saara jag hai begaana pappa jaldee aa jaana
गोल गोल रानी
August 26, 2009 at 12:58 pm (Hindi, Kids, Rhyme)
Overheard this one from my Bengali baby sitter who was saying this out loud to my daughter. The vegetarian husband was not amused. I liked this rhyme though 🙂
गोल गोल रानी
इतना इतना पानी
पानी में फिसला मछली
पापा ने पकडा
मम्मा ने बनाया
तुम ने खाया
हम ने खाया
बड़ा मज़ा आया
gol gol rani
itta itta paani
pani mein phisla machli
papa ne pakda
mamma ne banaaya
tum ne khaaya
hum ne khaaya
bada mazaa aaya
नन्ही कलि सोने चली
July 9, 2009 at 9:05 am (Hindi, Lullaby, song)
A lovely lullaby. This is what my mom sings for my daughter these days…
Lyrics in Hindi:
हवा धीरे आना
नींद भरे , पंख लिए , झूला झुला जाना
नन्ही कलि सोने चली हवा धीरे आना
नींद भरे , पंख लिए , झूला झुला जाना
नन्ही कलि सोने चली
चाँद किरण सी गुडिया नाजों की है पली \- 2
आज अगर चांदनियां आना मेरी गली
गुन गुन गुन गीत कोई हौले हौले गाना
नींद भरे , पंख लिए , झूला झुला जाना
रेशम की डोर अगर पैरों को उलझाए \- 2
घुंघरू का दाना कोई शोर मचा जाए
दाने मेरे जागे तो फिर निंदिया तू बहलाना
नींद भरे , पंख लिए , झूला झुला जाना
नन्ही कलि सोने चली हवा धीरे आना
Lyrics in English:
hava dheere aana
neend bhare, pankh liye, jhula jhula jaana
nanhi kali sone chali hava dheere aana
neend bhare, pankh liye, jhula jhula jaana
nanhi kali sone chali
chaand kiran si gudiya naajon ki hai pali \- 2
aaj agar chaandaniya aana meri gali
gun gun gun geet koi haule haule gaana
neend bhare pankh liye, jhula jhula jaana
resham ki dor agar pairon ko ulajhaae \- 2
ghungharu ka daana koi shor macha jaae
daane mere jaage to phir nindiya tu bahalaana
neend bhare, pankh liye, jhula jhula jaana
nanhi kali sone chali hava dheere aana
Chini Mini Two Butterflies
July 10, 2007 at 6:34 pm (English, Kids, Rhyme)
Chini Mini, Two Butterflies,
dancing up and dancing down,
caught in a little spider’s web,
cry for help – “save me! save me!”.
Saw a parrot passing thru,
Got and idea and bit the web.
सात समुंदर
July 4, 2007 at 4:31 pm (Hindi, Rhyme)
सात समुंदर पार से,
गुड़ियों के बाज़ार से,
छोटी सी एक गुड़िया लाना,
गुड़िया चाहे मत लाना,
पापा जल्दी आ जाना
Saat Samundar paar se,
Gudiyon ke bazar se,
Choti si ek gudiya lana,
Gudiya chaahey mat lana,
Papa jaldi aa jana
Here is a link to the complete song and full lyrics
Just now
March 17, 2007 at 6:01 pm (English, Rhyme)
Found a peanut, Found a peanut, just now.
It was rotten, It was rotten, just now.
I’m eating, I’m eating, just now.
Stomach aching, Stomach aching, just now.
Call the doctor, call the doctor, just now.
Operation, Operation, just now.
I’m alright, I’m alright, just now.
झूल रे हाथी झूल
February 6, 2007 at 4:31 pm (Hindi, Kids, Rhyme)
झूल रे हाथी झूल
माखन हाथी झूल
झूलते झूलते भूख लगी थी
एक नारंगी तोड़ खाई थी
माली के बेटे ने देखा था
नीम की डाली को बाँधा था
कोतमीर की डाली से मारा था
झटा फट, फटा फट
फूल में फूल, गुलाब का फूल
