My first english song on this blog probably and it had to be this. A waltz for a night by Julie Delpy from the movie Before Sunset which I just so very much like, both the song and the movie…loved Before Sunrise, it was equally marvellous, two great movies really. I’d say two of my all time favorites movies, Gems in my collection! I can go on and on about the movie pair…I don’t intend to bore you with the details though… you listen to the waltz….the lyrics are beautiful and so moving.

Rabbi is one of my favorite singers and composers. The kind of magic (music) he creates is just wonderful. Listen to Challa by Rabbi this time. Its’ very very soothing and has wonderful lyrics….a friend helped me to properly put these down….so now Gall sunn chhalia!

Lyrics of Chhalla Vas nai oo mere

Chhalla vas nahi oo mere – 4
Chhalla vas meri maa de
Ghallegi tan jange
Ve gall sun chhallia
Khaure keeta kis is ‘te toona

Ve Chhalla bambi da paani
Chhalla bambi da paani – 2
Kithhey veh gaye ne jaani
Asan khabar ko na jaani
Ve gall sun chhallia -2
Teri beri ik uggia ey kanda

A very beautiful and emotionally touching song this time. Mujhse naraz ho toh ho jao from the movie Papa Kehte hain sung by Sonu Nigam. Over the years, I had almost forgotten this song and when I recalled, the first thing I did was what you’re reading right now. This may just be called one of the best of Sonu Nigam’s songs.

Lyrics of Mujhse naraz ho toh ho jao
Mujhse naraz ho toh ho jao – 2
khud se lekin khafa khafa na raho
mujhse tum durr jao toh jao
aap apne se tum juda na raho
Mujhse naraaz ho toh ho jao
khud se lekin khafa khafa na raho
Mujhse naaraz ho toh ho jao

Euphoria has been one of my favorites band. At one time, not a single day would pass without listening to euphoria songs. I remember I used to hear dil toh dhadakta song a lot. Now its’ your turn to listen to it. Its’ from the Album Gully, singer Dr. Palash Sen who is lead vocalist of Euphoria. I just love the lyrics particularly the part Mujhe maloom hai ke tum mujhe na puchogi ke main kaisa hoon…

Kabhi Yaad Meri aaye Toh,
Meri Zaat Ko Zara Sochna, (Zaat = shakhshiyat)

Tere Ishq Mein Mujhe Kya Mila,
Is Baat Ko Zara Sochna,

Teri Be-rukhi Meri Be-Khudi
Tera Chhupna, Mera Talashna
Meri Haar Pe Tera Jheetna,
Meri Maat Ko Zara Sochna,

Pehle Hath Mera Jhatak Diya,
Phir Chhor Kar Bhi Chala Gaya,
Kaise Bikhri Main Ek Lamhay Mein,
Us Raat Ko Zara Sochna

Tu nahin toh zindagi mein aur kya reh jayega sung by Chitra Singh is a beautiful ghazal from the movie Arth. Love dard ki saari tahein aur saare guzre haadase, sab dhuan ho jayenge ek waaquiya reh jayega. The singing beautifully compliments the emptiness in life feeling that comes from the lyrics Tu nahi toh zindagi mein (There would be a vacuum in life without you).

Lyrics of Tu nahin to zindagi mein

Tu nahin toh zindagi mein aur kya reh jayegaa
Tu nahin toh zindagi mei aur kya reh jayega
Tu nahin toh….
Door tak tanhaiyon ka-2
silsila reh jayega
Tu nahin toh
