Lapak Zapak Song Lyrics in English
Lapak japak tu aa re badarva
Sar ki kheti sookh rahi hain
Baras baras tu aa re badarva
Jhagad jhagad kar paani la tu
Akad akad bijli chamka tu
Tere ghade mein paani nahi to
Panghat se bhar la
Re badarava …
Ban mein koyal kook uthi hai
Sab ke man mein hook uthi hai
Bhoodal se tu baal uga de
Jhat pat tu baras
Re badarava …
Lapak Zapak Hindi Song Lyrics Translation
लापाक जापक तु आ रे बदार्वा
सर की खेती चौह रही है
बारास बरास तु आ रे बदार्वा
झगद झगद कर पानी ला तु
अकाद अकाद बिजली चमका तु
Tere ghade mein paani nahi करने के लिए
पंगहट से भर ला
फिर से बदरावा …
बान मीन कोयल कुक उथी है
सब के आदमी मीन हुक उथी है
भुडल से तु बाल उगा डी
झाट पैट तु बारास
फिर से बदरावा …
About the movie – Boot Polish
Toddlers Belu and Bhola share an uncertain future when their mom dies in the plague, and their dad is imprisoned. They are then left in the uncaring care of Kamla, their aunt, who moonlights as a prostitute. She is cruel,abusive and forces them to take to a life of begging on the local trains, on beaches and crowded areas in Bombay. This is how the toddlers grow up, they want to lead a respectable life, and with the help of bootlegger John, they get a shoe-shine kit and start shining shoes on busy sidewalks and railway platforms. Their circumstances face more uncertainty when Kamla finds out about their new-found profession, beats them up and throws them out of the house. They temporarily seek shelter with John, but when he is arrested, they have to fend for themselves. Things become bad to worse when Bombay enters the monsoon season, when people do not get their shoes shined; then the duo are separated – with Belu ending up with a rich family, and when she asks about Bhola, she is told that he is dead. The question remains is Bhola really dead, if not, what has been his fate?
