Rain Songs: Ghar Aaja Ghir Aaye Badara Saawariya

The song I am posting today is very similar in essence to yesterday's song, Jhir jhir barase saawani ankhiyaan. In both of them, the woman is beckoning her beloved to come home. Rain, of course forms the backdrop of both the songs.

Another interesting tidbit is that this is from R. D. Burman's first film as an independent composer. Before this he had assisted his father, and had made a foray in the world of composing for Guru Dutt's "Raaz" in 1959. But that film never saw the light of the day. That makes "Chhote Nawab" (1961) his first released work. Today's song is from this film.

Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Shailendra
Music: R. D. Burman
