No matter where you are traveling to, I think the journey is as important as the destination and let’s get real, there’s no good journey without music. So, here’s an endless Bollywood song playlist to listen to during your next trip to India.
Made In India –Alisha Chinai
If there’s a list of the top most iconic songs of Bollywood, then Made In India should top that list. Maybe this song is pretty much dependent on your mood, but if you’ll be traveling to India, Alisha Chinai’s voice will be your best companion.
The music is good, but what made this song a legend is its lyrics which are still entrenched in the memory of every 90s kid in India. When recording the song, the singer thought that the Bhangra groove combined with her pop-like voice would become a phenomenal hit, but she never expected it to become a youth anthem.
Dekhi hai saari duniya, Japan se leke Russia
Australia se leke America
Dekha hai pyaar ka sapna, dil chaahe koi apna
Mil jaaye gar ek saathiya, ek desiya
Made in India, made in India
Ek dil chaahiye that’s made in India
O ho ho ho made in India, ek pyaara soniya
Ek dil chaahiye that’s made in India
Tan gora ho ya kaala, par ho sachcha dilwaala
Chaandi nahin, sona nahin, koi heera
Dil jiska hindustani, nahin koi englistani
Raat aur din mujhe pyaar koi karne waala
Made in India, made in India
Ek dil chaahiye that’s made in India
O ho ho ho made in India, ek pyaara soniya
Ek dil chaahiye that’s made in India
Yuh Hi Chala Chala – Swades
While there are maybe hundreds of Bollywood songs about travel, I find this song from the movie “Swades” to be a somehow magical one. There’s this great music that makes you compulsively tap your feet; there’s this spiritual voice that feels like its teaching you in simple words the purpose of life; and then there’s that vibe that reflects the true ethos of a traveler.
There’s no denying it –this song is a travel anthem.
Yunhi chala chal raahi – 2
Kitni haseen hai ye duniya
Phul saare jamele dekh phulon ke mele
Badi rangeen hai duniya
Rum tum taana na nak tum tum taana na – 3 bhaiya
(Ye raasta hai keh raha ab mujhse
Milne ko hai koyi kahin ab tujhse) – 2
Dil ko hai kyun ye betaabi kis se mulaaqaat honi hai
Jis ka kabse armaan tha shaayad wahi baat honi hai
Yunhi chala chal raahi – 2
Jeevan gaadi hai samay paiya aansoon ki nadiya bhi hai
Khushiyon ki bagiya bhi hai rasta sab tera takke bhaiya
Yunhi chala chal raahi – 2
Kitni haseen hai ye duniya
Phul saare jamele dekh phulon ke mele
Badi rangeen hai duniya
Chaiyya Chaiyya – Dil Se
There’s a reason, or maybe even more than one, to explain why A.R Rahman’s songs are so popular. The music he makes is an art; the perfect art that’s loved by all kinds of people, irrespective of their age, religion and gender. The music he makes can make you live thousands of wonderful moments at one time and he is known throughout India as the best at capturing fresh emotions through his music. And, Chaiyya Chaiyya is Rahman and Bollywood at their finest!
Jinke sar ho ishq ki chaaon
Paaon ke neeche jaanat hogi
Jinke sar ho ishq ki chaaon
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Saare ishq ki chhaaon chal chaiyya chaiyya
Saare ishq ki chhaaon chal chaiyya
Pau janat chale chal chaiyya chaiyya
Pau janat chale chal chaiyya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Voh yaar hai jo khushboo ki tarah
Voh jiski zubaan urdu ki tarah
Meri shaam raat, meri kaayanat
Voh yaar mera sainya sainya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
