She Will Be Loved – Maroon 5

This is a very beautiful song from Maroon 5.

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I’ve had you so many times but somehow
I want more

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn’t matter anymore

It’s not always rainbows and butterflies
It’s compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door’s always open
You can come anytime you want

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

I know where you hide
Alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls

Tap on my window, knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don’t mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain, oh
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved

Please don’t try so hard to say goodbye
Please don’t try so hard to say goodbye

I don’t mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain

Please don’t try so hard to say goodbye

Lose Yourself – Eminem

I don’t really listen to a lot of English music but here is something that I love.

Heard this first time when Prof. Bakshi used this in one of his classes. One of his slides on probability quoted Eminem as

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

Here are the complete lyrics …

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti
He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won’t come out
He’s chokin, how everybody’s jokin now
The clock’s run out, time’s up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He’s so mad, but he won’t give up that
Easy, no
He won’t have it , he knows his whole back’s to these ropes
It don’t matter, he’s dope
He knows that, but he’s broke
He’s so stagnant that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that’s when it’s
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
He better go capture this moment and hope it don’t pass him

[Hook:]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

The soul’s escaping, through this hole that it’s gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardom’s close to post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he’s know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
He’s grown farther from home, he’s no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
His hoes don’t want him no mo, he’s cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
I suppose it’s old partna’, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

[Hook]

No more games, I’ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody’s payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can’t get by with my 9 to 5
And I can’t provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man, these goddam food stamps don’t buy diapers
And it’s no movie, there’s no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it’s getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama’s screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I’m like a snail
I’ve got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothafuckin option, failure’s not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer’s got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem’s lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got

[Hook]

You can do anything you set your mind to, man

Alvida – Life in a Metro

Life in a Metro (wiki, IMDB) is about lives of people trapped in Mumbai. I will say trapped because thats how you feel when you are in Mumbai.

If you happen to live in Mumbai, and don’t feel trapped, you are living in an illusion, a matrix and sooner you wake up, better it is for you.

Coming back to Metro, although all the songs in the album are must have on any ipod, Alvida is my favorite. There are two versions, slower one by KK (my favorite singer) and a faster one by James (Bangaldeshi Singer/Composer). Even though its favorite KK vs relatively unknown James, I prefer the faster one. You want to cry with the song when you here James sing it. It pains just to listen to his voice. You can relate to pain and suffering.

KK proves yet again why is he the maestro of high pitched songs. I have heard him sing live and hes a magician. And as a person, he is as charming and down to Earth as anyone can be. Got lucky when I spent some time with him at my college fest in 2006.

Here are the lyrics …
Music: Pritam
Lyrics: Sayeed Quadri

Full Lyrics

Chupke se kahin, dheeme paaun se
jaane kis tarah, kis ghadi
aage badh gaye, humse raahon mein
par tum toh abhi thi yahin
kuch bhi na suna, kab ka tha gila
kaise keh diya alvida

Jinke darmiya gujri thi abhi
kal tak yeh meri zindagi
dono baahon ko, thandi chaanv ko
hum bhi kar chale alvida

Alvida, alvida, meri raahein alvida
meri saansein kehati hai, alvida
alvida, alvida, ab kehna aur kya
jab tune keh diya, alvida

Sunle bekhabar, yuun aankhein pher kar aaj tu chali jaa
dhundegi nazar humko hi magar har jagah
aisi raaton mein leke karvate, yaad hamein karna
aur phir haar kar kehna kyun magar, keh diya alvida alvida
koi puchhe toh zara, kya socha aur kaha alvida
alvida, alvida, ab kehna aur kya
jab tune keh diya, alvida

Hum the dil jale, phir bhi dil kahe
kaash mere sang aaj hote tum agar, hoti har dagar gulsitaa
tumse hai khafa, hum naaraaz hai, dil hai pareshaan
socha na suna tune kyun bhala keh diya alvida alvida
koi puchhe toh zara, kya socha aur kaha alvida
alvida, alvida, ab kehna aur kya
jab tune keh diya, alvida

kyun socha aur kahan alvida

dono baahon ko, thandi chaanv ko
hum bhi kar chale alvida

Swades – We The People


I have been told by zillions of people to watch Swades – We The Poeple. Directed by Ashutosh Gowarikar, the Lagaan fame, Swades talks about one man’s journey back to his country.

SRK is in the lead role and I have been told that Swades is SRK’s best performance till date. I still havent seen the movie, someone can still gift me a DVD 🙂 [UPDATE @ 23 Aug 07: Bought and saw Swades.]

Here is an awesome song from the movie … !

Title: Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera
Lyrics: Javed Akhtar
Music: A.R.Rahman

Ye Jo Des Hai Tera, Swades Hai Tera, Tujhe Hai Pukaara …
Ye Woh Bandhan Hai Jo Kabhi Toot Nahin Sakta

Ye Jo Des Hai Tera, Swades Hai Tera, Tujhe Hai Pukaara …
Ye Woh Bandhan Hai Jo Kabhi Toot Nahin Sakta

Mitti Ki Jo Khushboo, Tu Kaise Bhoolaayega
Tu Chaahe Kahin Jaaye, Tu Laut Ke Aayega
Nayi Nayi Raahon Mein, Dabi Dabi Aahon Mein
Khoye Khoye Dilse Tere, Koyi Ye Kahega
Ye Jo Des Hai Tera, Swades Hai Tera, Tujhe Hai Pukaara
Ye Woh Bandhan Hai Jo Kabhi Toot Nahin Sakta

Tujhse Zindagi, Hai Ye Keh Rahi
Sab Toh Paa Liya, Ab Hai Kya Kami
Yun Toh Saare Sukh Hai Barse
Par Door Tu Hai Apne Gharse
Aa Laut Chal Tu Ab Diwaane
Jahaan Koyi Toh Tujhe Apna Maane
Awaaz De Tujhe Bulaane, Wahi Des

Ye Jo Des Hai Tera, Swades Hai Tera, Tujhe Hai Pukaara
Ye Woh Bandhan Hai Jo Kabhi Toot Nahin Sakta

Ye Pal Hai Wahi, Jis Mein Hai Chhupi
Koyi Ek Sadi, Saari Zindagi
Tu Na Poochh Raaste Mein Kaahe
Aaye Hain Is Tarha Do Raahein
Tu Hi Toh Hai Raah Jo Sujhaaye
Tu Hi Toh Hai Ab Jo Ye Bataaye
Chaahe Toh Kis Disha Mein Jaaye Wahi Des
Ye Jo Des Hai Tera, Swades Hai Tera, Tujhe Hai Pukaara
Ye Woh Bandhan Hai Jo Kabhi Toot Nahin Sakta

Quite a few lessons and one of the best patriotic songs of all times in my humble opinion.

The Man Who Sold The World

Another English song .. !

Title: Man Who Sold The World
Artist: Nirvana (I later read that this song was originally done by David Bowie)

We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn’t there
He said I was his friend
Which came as a surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago

Oh no, not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazeless stare
At all the millions here
I must have died alone
A long, long time ago

Who knows? Not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

A Kawasaki Bajaj Caliber Croma WITH DISK BRAKES
An iPod
A biker
Empty Roads of Chennai

I was listening to Dil Deewana from Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa. The song has been shot on SRK and Deepak Tijori. I am on the bike and I can almost see myself doing things that SRK does in the song. Pavlov … ?

By the way, Apple announced sale of their 100 millionth ipod on April 9.

And now picture this ..

Teri Diwani – Kailash Kher – Lyrics

Kailash Kher has come up with his new album Kailasa and here is my favorite track from the album.

Title: Teri Deewani
Album: Kailasa
Artist: Kailash Kher

Preet ki lat mohe aisi laagi,
Ho gayi main matwaari,
Bal bal jaon apne piya ko,
Hey main jaon wari wari …

Mohe sudh budh nahi rahi tan man ki,
Ye toh jaane duniya saari,
Bebas aur lachaar phiru main,
Haari main dil haari,
Haari main dil haari

Tere naam se jeelon, tere naam se mar jaon,
Tere naam se jeelon, tere naam se mar jaon,
Tere jaan ke sadke main kuch aisa kar jaon,
Tune kya kar daala,
Mar gayi main,
Mit gayi main,
Ho ji, haan ji,
Ho gayi main,
Teri deewani, deewani (2)

Tune kya kar daala,
Mar gayi main,
Mit gayi main,
Ho ji, haan ji,
Ho gayi main,
Teri deewani, deewani (2)

Ishq junoon jab had se badh jaye,
Ishq junoon jab had se badh jaye,
Haste haste aashiq sooli chadh jaye,
Ishq ka jadoo sar chadhkar bole,
Ishq ka jadoo sar chadhkar bole,
Khoob lagalo pehre raste rab khole,
Yahi ishq di marzi hain,
Yahi rab di marzi hain,

Yahi ishq di marzi hain,
Yahi rab di marzi hain,
Tere bin jina kaisa,
Haan khudgarzi hai,

Tune kya kar daala,
Mar gayi main,
Mit gayi main,
Ho ji, haan ji,
Ho gayi main,
Teri deewani, deewani (2)

Aye main rang rangeeli deewani,
Aye main rang rangeeli deewani,
Aye main albeli, main mastaani,
Gaon bajaaon, sabko rijhaon,
Aye main hoon dharam se begaani,
Aye main deewani main deewani,

Tere naam se jeelon, tere naam se mar jaon,
Tere naam se jeelon, tere naam se mar jaon,
Tere jaan ke sadke main kuch aisa kar jaon,
Tune kya kar daala,
Mar gayi main,
Mit gayi main,
Ho ji, haan ji,
Ho gayi main,
Teri deewani, deewani (2)

There is only one comment for this song. Awesome. Period.

Lyrics – Tere Bin – Rabbi Shergil

I was listening to FM and there was this track by Rabbi Shergil. I know little punjabi and it was awesome. Googled for the lyrics and found it on Shubhi Gupta. Dedicated to someone very special.

Here is a quick copy-paste job. All credits to Shubhi Gupta. Thanks is all I can say.

chukke jo nakhra mera / and indulge me

amrika , roos, malaysia / america, russia, malaysiana
kittey vi koi fark si / there wasn’t any difference
har kise di koi shart si / they all had some condition
koi mangda mera si sama / some asked for my time
koi hunda surat te fida / some were fascinated with my face
koi mangda meri si vafa / some demanded my fidelity
na koi mangda merian bala / none wanted my demons
tere bin / besides you
hor na kise / no one else
mangni merian bala / wanted my demons
tere bin / besides you
hor na kise / no one else
karni dhup vich chhan / shall shade me in the sun
jiven rukia / (the) way you paused

nahion bhulna / i shan’t forget
main sari umar / all my life
jiven akhia si akhan chura / you said, looking away
“rovenga sanu yad kar” / “you shall weep in my memory”
hasia si main hasa ajeeb / i laughed a strange laugh
(par) tu nahi si hasia / but you didn’t

Awesome track and very very meaningful lyrics. Reminds me of someone very special. (Yes, this is for you, you were right – I didnt get that iPod) and I cant even apologize… 🙁

Lukka Chuppi – Rang De Basanti

Ths is one of those songs that are too beautiful to be a MOM-SON song …

Title: Lukka Chippi
Movie: Rang De Basanti
Singer: Lata Mangeshkar, AR Rahman

Luka Chuppi bahut huyi saamne aa ja naa
Kahan kahan dhoondha tujhe
thak gayi hai ab teri maa

Aaja saanjh hui mujhe teri fikar
Dhundhla gayi dekh meri nazar aa ja na (2)

Kya bataoon maa kahan hoon main
Yahan udney ko mere khula aasmaan hai
Tere kisson jaisa bhola salona
jahan hain yahan sapno vala
Meri patang ho befikar udd rahi hai maa
Dor koi loote nahin beech se kaate na

Aaja saanjh hui mujhe teri fikar
Dhundhla gayi dekh meri nazar aa ja na

Teri raah takey aankhiyaan
jaane kaisa kaisa hoye jiyaa (2)

Dhire dhire aangan utre andhera, mera deep kahan
Dhalke suraj kare ishara chanda tu hai kahan
Mere chanda tu hai kahan
Luka Chuppi bahut huyi saamne aa ja naa
Kahan kahan dhoondha tujhe thak gayi hai ab teri maa

Aaja saanjh hui mujhe teri fikar
Dhundhla gayi dekh meri nazar aa ja na (2)

kaise tujhko dikhaun yahaan hai kya
Maine jharne se paani maa tod ke piya hai
Guchcha guchcha kai khwabon ka uchal ke chuwa hai
Chaaya liya bhali dhoop yahaan hai
Naya naya sa hai roop yahan
Yahaan sab kuch hai maa phir bhi
lage bin tere mujhko akela

Aaja saanjh hui mujhe teri fikar
Dhundhla gayi dekh meri nazar aa ja na (3)

Movie: Bombay Boys

My name is Bhai… Mumbhai.

Mumbhai ekdum danger place
where u survive.. if u got the pace
u gotta be fast.. u gotta be tez
u gotta be Shaana.. to win the race
Chota chota matter bane police case
bada bada lafda gul without trace.
but ghabrane ka nahi..give it in the face
woh kya bolta hai? haan. Jaisa Des waisa bhes.

Dekhe behti Ganga, pocket se nikle Kanga
dekhte rehna panga.. nahi to ho jaayega danga
some people are bhala changa..
some are bheek manga
Cannot judge anybody… sharif or lafanga.

Bhaigiri ko chod sab.. BAKWAAS
Bhai ka under jo rehta.. BINDAAS
Bhai ko denga tras, hoenga woh khallas
bahenga uska blood just like tomato sauce.

(Are baap re…)

Khaane ka peene ka marne ka jeene ka

tension nahi lene ka bhai se poochne ka
Kasakai bhara hai I am Mumbhai.

Aane ka Jaane ka naachne ka gaane ka
nahane ka dhone ka hasne ka rone ka
boom nahi maarne ka bhai se poochne ka
Kasakai bhara hai I am Mumbhai.

Hey. Beer bar dance bar… (baar baar lagataar)
ha. note chaapne ke liye… (solid hai karobar)
Bhai ke adda par dikhtha hai jo ek baar
udharich reh jaata hai chodke apna ghar baar.

Petition, election, Telephone connection
construction permission, illegal erection
paisa nu collection, paper nu correction…
everything perfection jabhi le le bhai action.

Court mein agar jaayenga tho bees saal ka thamba
law and order se tho Pandu bhai ka haath hai lamba
Neta, abhineta.. ya ho koi builder
Bhai ko dekar supari karwata hai murder.
Haath mein uska power hai, sab uska aage jhukta
uska khopdi sanak gaya tho pura mumbai rukta.

(Ae… Khatam nahi hua Chootiye…)

Ae Bass Guitar….
Piplee..
Ae Banjo…Chal…
Orchestra.
Comeon baby…ha
Comeon baby…ha
Chorus…

Khaane ka peene ka marne ka jeene ka
chalne ka phirne ka uthne ka girne ka

Kasakai bhara hai I am Mumbhai.

Aane ka Jaane ka naachne ka gaane ka
nahane ka dhone ka hasne ka rone ka
boom nahi maarne ka bhai se poochne ka
Kasakai bhara hai I am Mumbhai.

Ae.. maarega sar pe haagega ghar pe kya?
zyada shaaning nahi karne ka..

khud khush ho jaaye khuda
(aashaayen khile dil ki
ummeedein hase dil ki
ab mushkil nahi kutch bhi

ab mushkil nahi kutch bhi
nahi kutch bhi) – 2
aashaayen – 3

Jaane Kya Dhoondta Hai Yeh Mera Dil

Jaane Kya Dhoondta Hai Yeh Mera Dil …

When Lucky Ali (Wikipedia, ClickLucky) came up with this song, he probably could not guess he was talking about me, my life and my aspirations.

This post is about a couple of years late. I should have been writing this when I the song first came out. But no, I couldn’t have possibly written this then. I did not even know myself then. I don’t know myself even today but I have made a start and lets see how the search goes and where does it takes me. All I can say right now is STAY TUNED :D.

Title: Jaane Kya Dhoondta Hai
Singer: Lucky Ali
Lyrics: Nida Fazli
Music: M M Kreem
Movie: Sur
Listen Online: Raaga.com

Jaane kya dhoondta hai, yeh mera dil,
Tujhko kya chaahiye zindagi,
Raaste hi raaste hain, kaisa hai yeh safar,
Dhoondti hain jisko nazrein, jaane hai voh kidhar,
Jaane kya dhoondta hai, ae mera dil,
Tujhko kya chaahiye zindagi,

Bechehra sa koi sapna hai voh,
Kahin nahin hai phir bhi apna hai voh,
Aise mere andar shaamil hai voh,
Main hoon behta dariya, saahil ai voh,
Hai kahan voh, voh kidhar hai, raaste kuch to bata,
Kaun sa uska nagar hai, rehguzar kuch to bata,
Dhoondti hain jisko nazrein, jaane hai voh kidhar,
Jaane kya dhoondta hai, ae mera dil,
Tujhko kya chaahiye zindagi…

Soona sa hai mandir, moorat nahin,
Khaali hai aaina, soorat nahin,
Jeene ka jeevan mein kaaran to ho,
Maheke kaise kaliyaan, gulshan to ho,
Shamma hai jo mujh mein roshan, voh viraasat kisko doon,
Door tak koi nahin hai, apni chaahat kisko doon,
Dhoondti hain jisko nazrein, jaane hai voh kidhar,
Jaane kya dhoondta hai, ae mera dil,
Tujhko kya chaahiye zindagi…
