O Rey Chori

Song : O Rey Chori
Movie Name : Lagaan
Singer : Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik
Music Director : A R Rehman

I was browsing through some videos of Rehman on youtube when I saw this video that showed the recording of this song from Lagaan. Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik sitting in the studio sang the lyrics of the stanza while a feeble chord ran in the background. It was amazing! Alka Yagnik has a very sweet voice and this video highlighted that. Ever since that, I haven't been able to get this song off my mind. So, my favourite portion of this song is

"More mann mein thi jo baat chhupi Aayi hai jabaan par
More dil mein kahin ek teer jo tha Aaya hai kamaan par
Sun sun le sajan rahe janam janam Hum prem nagar ke baasi
Thaame thaame haath, rahe saath saath Kabhi doore ho na jara si
Chaloon main sang sang teri raah mein Bas teri chaah mein, ho oh oh oh"

A customary hat-tip to Rehman. There's no stopping this guy!
