Lata Mangeshkar (Marathi: लता मंगेशकर; born September 28, 1929) is a singer from India. She is one of the best-known playback singers in the Hindi film industry. Mangeshkar's career started in 1942 and has spanned over six and a half decades. She sang in over a thousand Bollywood movies and has sung songs in over twenty regional Indian languages, but primarily in Hindi. She is the elder sister of the equally accomplished singer Asha Bhosle and lesser-known singers, brother Hridayanath Mangeshkar and sisters Usha Mangeshkar and Meena Mangeshkar. Lata is the second vocalist ever to have received the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour.

Mangeshkar was featured in the Guinness Book of World Records from 1974 to 1991 for having made the most recordings in the world.

Lata Mangeshkar has won several awards and honors, including Padma Bhushan (1969), Padma Vibhushan (1999), Dada Saheb Phalke Award (1989), NTR National Award (1999), Bharat Ratna (2001), three National Film Awards, and 12 Bengal Film Journalists' Association Awards. She has also won four Filmfare Best Female Playback Awards. In 1969, she made the unusual gesture of giving up the Filmfare Best Female Playback Award, in order to promote fresh talent. She was later awarded Filmfare Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993.

Filmfare Awards

The Filmfare Awards for playback singing first started in 1958. In 1956, the song 'Rasik Balma' from the film Chori Chori won the Best Song Filmfare Award. Lata refused to sing it live in protest of absence of a Playback Singer category. The category was finally introduced in 1958. Though, separate awards for male & female singers were introduced later on.

Lata Mangeshkar monopolized the best female playback singer award from 1958 to 1966. In 1969, Lata made the unusual gesture of giving up Filmfare awards in order to promote fresh talent...........

Hello Yuan and thank you. A rare song indeed. Another AVM Production. All lyrics were penned by Rajendra Krishan.

[Mahagedara2]

@RealMusicKing - Thank you my dear friend.

I just added the name of Rajendra Krishan as the lyricist.

translation continued:

chandnee kuch chand se kah kar zameen par aa gayee

moonlight whispered something to the moon and descended to earth

jaane kya dekhaa yahan, ab laut kar jaatee nahi

wonder what it saw here, it refuses to go back

I have purposefully used bad english grammar, to give you a feel of the hindi grammar/language, I believe straightforward translations deviate a lot from what a native speaker would understand.

[Mahagedara2]

@hash150 - Thank you my dear friend for the pain you have taken in translating this beautiful song.

Many friend will be benefited by your kind act, including me too.

Take care.

aaaah yuan I have finally found you! I am happy, very happy:)

Btw I was searching for this song. I just had to see Meena Kumari's big beautiful eyes and what luck, I found you, what does mahagedara mean?

[Mahagedara2]

Thank you my dear friend for your kind words.

As you may have seen, yuanyuanyuanyin been suspended and 2 more accounts thereafter!

I am happy to see you too. Mahagedara means a big house, a bungalow in local language.

Take care.

One of the sweetest melodies in Hindi film music. Has remained my favorite for over 4 decades now. For me, Hemant Kumar was one of the genius composers of the glorious fifties...and sixties too. Most of his tunes, were laced with sheer melody and have remained utterly endearing ever since they were first heard.

Kishore kumar is paired to Jamuna in this film , He finally finds the missing daughter of the zamindar, and proves Menakumari is the missing girl. . He got a song in this film " Gaanaa na aayaa, bajaanaa na aayaa "-Arani.Apparao-HYD-A.P.

@pirulmulk18 - You are correct. He is not Kishore but Gemini Ganesan, a South Indian actor.

Thank you.

so gaya sara zamanaa, neend kyun aatee nahi

asleep the whole world is, sleep why does it not come to me

aiy hawa jaakar use tu saath kyun laatee nahi

O wind, why dont you go and bring it along with you

chand pehle bhi nikalta tha, magar aisa na thaa

THe moon in the past used to rise, but it was never like this

aaj aisi baat kyun hai, kuch samajh aatee nahi

tonight why its feels like this, understand i dont
