After the lack of internet last weekend, I am back again with another song. This one is a melancholic song, but I decided to translate it last week after being not able to converse with the love of my life for about 48 hours continuously (probably that’s why the sad song). Internet does that toContinue reading “English Translation: Zinda hun is tarah ki…”

English Translation: Mohabbat hamari, zamana hamara
This time we travel even further back in time to 1949, to translate a song from the movie ‘Dulari‘ (beloved). As the name suggests, the movie is female centric (surprisingly) even though the female lead of the movie is just shown as an ill-fated weakling who does at times try to runaway from her suppressorsContinue reading “English Translation: Mohabbat hamari, zamana hamara”
When they talk of beauty…
Here I am back with a very old song sung by one of the most melancholy voice of Bollywood playback, Mukesh. Mukesh is well-known for singing sad songs beautifully, but once you listen to this one, you will feel that he does justice to even romantic songs equally. The song is from the 1963 movieContinue reading “When they talk of beauty…”
If I do not get you…
Sorry for this long hiatus in my song updates. Thanks to the delay in writing this whole month, I will have to post five songs within the few next days (or as soon as possible). It took me some time to find a song fit enough to translate and one which has not been translatedContinue reading “If I do not get you…”
Love forever…
This week is a big leap from the black and white songs of 1960s-70s to this song from an unreleased movie of 2003 ‘Ek Hindustani‘ starring Sunil Shetty and Raveena Tandon. I am not a big fan of Sunil Shetty’s looks and acting, but Raveena was my favourite once long back (seems like ages now).Continue reading “Love forever…”
Life without you…
This time I am going to talk about a timeless classic from Mukesh Sahab who is one of my favourite singers (yet another), starring Manoj Kumar aka Bharat Kumar and Saadhna from the movie ‘Anita‘ released in 1967. Manoj Kumar is as handsome as ever and Saadhna is as elusive as ever. There was aContinue reading “Life without you…”
Down the memory lane…
This second week is dedicated to another very old song from the movie ‘Hamraahi‘ released in 1963. I have to say that the movie has a lot of beautiful songs and almost all of them are quite popular and must have been so at that time as well. The songs of this movie have aContinue reading “Down the memory lane…”
Love: Then and now…
Since I made a promise to translate one song per week, here I am with the first song for the year. I have to say, there’s hardly just one webpage with the lyrics of this song in Hindi and that too wrong in many places. Now I have to say the movie is not veryContinue reading “Love: Then and now…”
52 weeks, 52 songs
‘Premi, pagal, deewana; ashiq, majnoo, awara…’ The first words, I have been told, that ever came out of my mouth were the lyrics to this song from the Bollywood movie ‘Phool aur Kaante‘ (Flowers and thorns) which was released in 1991 starring Ajay Devgan and Madhoo. Ajay Devgan’s debut was released the same year thatContinue reading “52 weeks, 52 songs”
