ANTAKSHARI anyone?

Absolutely enjoyed this video.. great instrumental, no songs.. great dancing by Gopi Krishna(in janak janak payal baje) in the first half and then Vaijayantimala(in Amrapali) in the second.

Jinke Sar Ho Ishq Ki Chaaon

Chal Chaiyya Chaiyya Chaiyya Chaiyya
Chal Chaiyya Chaiyya Chaiyya Chaiyya

A Rabindrasangeet, "Ei kotha-ti mone rekho". This song was also used in the movie Chowringhee. And here's Hemonto Mukhopadhyay singing it.

Some info about this song: "The lyrics imply that for Tagore, having lived a full life on Earth, it was time for him to depart. Hence, it has been titled as his 'Swan Song'. A true nationalist at heart, perhaps Tagore had a premonition of his departure before India gained independence from the British. Thus he had lamented that although he had led a full life and had accomplished a lot, he nonetheless was handicapped; ergo, had to "walk the land at night".......", copied from:

Ei kotha ti mone rekho, ... Remember this word of mine
Tomader ei hashi khelay, ... in your happy times,
Aami jey gaan geyechilem, mone rekho, ... that I once sang a song,
Jorno patar jhorar belay mone rekho, ... When the leaves are dropping in fall, remember this,
Ei kothati mone rekho ... Remember this word of mine
Aami jey gaan geyechilem ... that I once sang a song

Next: L or E or M

Bonus: A song, starting with I, by Kingston Trio

If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles ....

Quiz: There's also a Hindi film song with the same tune. Clue: it was used in the movie Jurm, sung by Kumar Sanu. Can you identify the song?

aarosh got it, here's the Hindi song, 'Jab koi baat bigad jaye".

Funny, there's also a French song with the same tunes (I don't know French, but it appears like it is the same one as sung by Kingston Trio).

...

And finally, here's another song to cheer you up English version here

GOT ONE !! continuing with them 'memories'
ok - so it begins with a T but the second word is a M

in His Master's Voice... robi thakur had a tinny voice, and the recording didnt help any - BUT it's HIS voice !!
tobu mone rekho
even so... remember me

Tobu Mone rekho jodi doore jai chole.
Jodi puratono prem dhaka pore jaye nobopremojale.
Jodi thaki kachhakachhi,
Dekhite na pao chhaya'r moton achhi na achhi-
Tobu mone rekho.
Jodi jol ashe ankhipate,
Akdin jodi khela theme jaye modhuraate,
Tobu mone rekho.
Akdin jodi badha pore kaaje sharodo prate- mone rekho.
Jodi poriya mone
Chholochholo jol nai dakha daye noyonkone-
Tobu mone rekho.

Even so... remember me
Even if far away I stray
Remember me.

If old love gets slowly buried
Under the strands of a new love's mesh
Even so... remember me.

Even if I am just nigh
And yet you cannot see me;
I become like a shadow
Shrouded in doubt
Remember me.

If tears well up
And cloud your eyes
If suddenly one day
The games come to a halt
On a lovely night
Even so... remember me

If suddenly one day
All work gets obstructed
On an autumn morn
Even so... remember me

If, remembering me,
Tears do not well up
In the corner of your eye
Even so... remember me


arindam - thank you for ei kotha'ti mone rekho
:brishti

and one for the weather today - just HAD to post this

paglaa haawa’r badol dine
on a cloudy day of crazy winds


paglaa haawa’r badol dine
paagol amar mon jege othe
on a cloudy day of crazy winds
my heart awakens

chena shona’r kon bairey
jekhaane poth nei nei re
shekhaaney okaroney jaayi chhootey
somewhere beyond the unknown and unheard
where there are no roads
there I rush off to for no reason

ghorer mukhe aar ki re
kono din shey jaabe phiirey
jabey nah jabey nah
deyaal joto shob gelo tootey
to the entrance to his home
will he turn back anymore
no no turning back, he wont go
the walls have all collapsed

paglaa haawa’r badol dine
paagol amar mon jege othe
on a cloudy day of crazy winds
my heart awakens...


begin with just about anything
post your favourite song then...

brishti, sagarneel: you posted some wonderful songs, specially the "pagla haoar badal deene". I hear that Kolkata is under seige from monsoon rains, how about where you are brishti? and wow, that was a masterful translation brishti!

Yesterday, we had a beautiful night sky, full moon, and I went out around midnight to shoot some pictures. So here's a song to remember my escapade by. This song was also used in Ritwick Ghatak's film Komol Gandhar.

Aaj jyotsna raate, shobai geche boney,
Aaj jyotsna raate, shobai geche boney,
Boshonter ei mataal shomironey,
Aaj jyotsna raate, shobai geche boney,
Aaj jyotsna raate, shobai geche boney,
....

Full English translation <http://monsoonmusic.blogspot.com/>:

This moonlit night,
All have gone to the woods.
Oh the intoxicating winds of spring.

I won't go with them.
Let me lie here in my own room.
Alone in my quiet little corner.

I'll have to remain in this little home of mine.
I'll have to wash it, wipe it with care.
I'll have to keep awake,
Lest he comes.
I wish I knew when he will come.

Oh! If he remembers me...
In these intoxicating winds of spring...

Next: B or O or N or E or Y

Aamay proshno kore neel dhrubotara,

Jobab kichui tar dite parinai,

Ey jibono shara, ey jibono shara ...
