From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu (Hindi: मेरा नाम चिन चिन चू, Urdu: میرا نام چِن چِن چو) is a song from the 1958 Indian film Howrah Bridge.
It was the first major hit for Helen. The song was picturised on Helen. The song was written by Qamar Jalalabadi[1] and composed by O.P. Nayyar and sung by Geeta Dutt. The title means "My Name is Chin Chin Chu."
The song begins with these words: "Mera naam Chin Cchin Choo, Chin-Chin-choo, baba Chin-Chin-Choo; raat chandni, main our tu, hello Mister, how do you do?" (My name is Chin Chin Choo, Chin-Chin-Choo, baba Chin-Chin-Choo; in the moonlit night me and you, hello Mister, how do you do?) The song continues:
Baaba..baaba..
Baabuji main Chin se aayi, chini jaisa dil laayi;
Singaapur ka yauvan mera, Shanghaai ki angdaayi;
Dil par rakh le haath zara, ho jaaye na paagal tu;
Mera naam Chin-Chin-Chu;
Oh baabuji main aur aap, kitna achchha huwa milaap;
Tujhko dekh tabeeyat bhadki, alaadin ki main hu ladki;
Phunk du mantar chhu chu chu, Sindbaad the sailor tu;
Mera naam chin-chin-chu.
