yeh haseen waadiyaan
yeh khula aasmaan
aa gaye hum kahan
ae mere saajnaa
in bahaaron mein dil ki kali khil gayi
mujhko tum jo mile har khushi mil gayi

tere honthon pe hai husn ki bijliyaan
tere gaalon pe hai zulf ki badaliyaan
tere daaman ki khushboo se maheke chaman
sange marmar ke jaisa yeh tera badan

mere jaane jaan
main teri chaandni
chhed do tum aaj koi
pyaar ki raagini

yeh haseen waadiyaan
yeh khula aasmaan

aa gaye hum kahan
ae mere saajnaa

yeh bandhan hai pyaar ka
dekho toote naa sajni

yeh janmon ka saath hai
dekho chhoote naa sajnaa

tere aanchal ki chhaaon ke tale
meri manzil mujhe milgayi

tere palkon ki chhaaon ke tale
mohabbat mujhe milgayi

yeh haseen waadiyaan
yeh khula aasmaan

aa gaye hum kahan
ae mere saajnaa

yeh bahaaron mein dil ki kali khil gayi

mujhko tum jo mile har khushi mil gayi

yeh haseen waadiyaan
yeh khula aasmaan

aa gaye hum kahan
ae mere saajnaa

jee karta hai saajnaa
dil mein tumko bithaa loon

aa masti ki raat mein
apna tumko banaa loon

uthne lage hai toofaan kyoon
mere seene mein ae sanam

tumhe chaahoonga dilon-jaaon se
meri jaane jaan teri kasam

yeh haseen waadiyaan
yeh khula aasmaan

aa gaye hum kahan
ae mere jaane jaan

in bahaaron mein dil ki kali khil gayi

mujhko tum jo mile har khushi mil gayi

mere jaane jaan
main teri chaandni
chhed do tum aaj koi
pyaar ki raagini

yeh haseen waadiyaan

yeh khula aasmaan

aa gaye hum kahan

ae mere saajnaa

yeh haseen waadiyaan

yeh khula aasmaan

aa gaye hum kahan

ae mere saajnaa

Light Your Phones Up

From Jernade Miah, London-based UK Desi artist with pop, R&B, urban and hip hop influences:



If you ever been in love before,
let me tell you how it goes:
it hits you like a tidal wave.
Before you know it you're swept away.

You walk, you run, you fall,
get up and brush it off.
You win, you lose,
in time you choose
the one you risk it all
for, all for.
Could it be you?
It's gotta be you, oh.

(Chorus)
So light your phones up, if you love somebody,
I mean if you really love somebody,
let me see your hands in the air right now,
you could show the world that you care right now, oh.
If you love somebody,
I mean if you really love somebody,
let me see your hands in the air right now,
light your phones up if you care right now, oh.
So light your phones up, oh, oh, oh, yeah.

I can get you through your darkest nights,
always be by your side,
I know it gets hard at times,
wish I had the answers why.
If your back's against the wall
and you think you lost it all,
just turn your head
and I'll be there to catch you when you fall, fall.
Could it be you?
It's gotta be you, oh.

[Chorus]

I'm reaching out to hearts tonight,
from city streets to countrysides,
wherever you are, I'll never be far.

[Chorus]

Ab Mere Paas Tum Aayee Ho / अब मेरे पास तुम आये हो

Thank you for sharing the beauty of your voice and spirit with the world, Jagjit Singh. You will be missed.



ab mere paas tum aayee ho to kya aayee ho
maine maana ke tum ik paikar-e-raanaee ho
chaman-e-daher mein rooh-e-chamanarayee ho
tallat-e-meher ho firdaus ki barnai ho
bint-e-mehtaab ho gardoo se utar aayee ho
mujhse milne mein abandesha-e-ruswaayee hai
maine khud apne kiye ki ye saza paayee hai
ab mere paas tum aayee ho to kya aayee ho

un dino mujpe qayamat ka junoon taari thaa
sar pe sarshaari-o-ishrat ka junoon taari thaa
maahpaaron se mohabbat ka junoon taari thaa
shehri yaaron se raqabat ka junoon taari thaa
bistar-e-makhmal-o-sanjaab thee duniya meri
ek rangeen-o-haseeN khwaab thee duniya meri

kya sunogi meri majrooh jawaani ki pukaar
meri fariyaad-e-jigar doz mera lala-e-zaar
shiddhat-e-kard mein doobi huyee meri guftaar
main ke khud apne mazak-e-tarabgee ka shikaar
wo gudaaz-e-dil-e-marhoom kahan se laaoon
ab mein wo zazba-e-masoom kahan se laaoon
ab mere pass tum aayee ho to kya aayee ho

By Jagjit Singh, with lyrics by Majaz, from the album The Best Of Kahkashan.

One More Dance

One More Dance by Mumzy Stranger, produced by Rishi Rich Productions, is fresh and addictive. Definitely worthy of a few listens and views, and a buy on iTunes or elsewhere, this song was a big summer song in the UK, in 2009...

One More Dance by Mumzy Stranger,
from Rishi Rich Productions, via Tiffin Beats Records

(If the video runs slowly, play it on YouTube.)

Check out Rishi Rich Productions Making Mumzy's "One More Dance" Video, too.

A Super Thanks to RR for the official lyrics, below:

Verse 1

Do you remember the day girl,

When we were dancing away girl,

You never told me your name no,

I can't believe that I let you go,

Bridge

Now I see you again,

thinking this could happen,

Can we take a walk and dance in the rain,

Maybe this is something,

That you just ain’t feeling,

But I got to know...

Chorus

Just gimmi one more dance,

Gimmi one more dance,

Just gimmi one more dance,

Gimmi one more dance,

Verse 2

I got this feeling you want me,

From your eyes I can see that you’re ready,

This could be something amazing,

For you and me what you saying...

Bridge

Now I see you again,

thinking this could happen,

Can we take a walk and dance in the rain,

Maybe this is something,

That you just ain’t feeling,

But I got to know...

Double Chorus

Just gimmi one more dance,

I just want you know girl,

Gimmi one more dance,

Your the one that want girl,

Just gimmi one more dance,

Let's rendezvous ooh girl,

Gimmi one more dance...

The value of this song, and its video, will take you by surprise. It's all in the details. In the song, it's Mumzy's range-y tenor and tender phrasing, the melody's complex percussive quality, the choral arrangement, and the mix, with a bass-supported dance beat running over Asian-inflected digital percussion, that make the difference. In the vid, it's charm of Mumzy and the lady he dances with, the body language and looks, the dancing itself, the camera angles, lighting, special effects, editing, and initial concept on which the video was built. Excellent production values for sound, video and marketing, are part of the Rishi Rich Productions approach.

Tell Me Why

(Why, why, why, why?)

(Why?)
I really wish I could explain it baby,
(Why?)
it's just the world is kinda crazy baby,
(Why?)
ain't no pretty way to paint it baby,
(Why?)
don't cry,
dry your eyes.

September 11th
I woke up about 7AM
West Coast time,
French toast and my
turkey bacon,
taking my time awakin',
turning my TV on,
to my surprise
saw what everybody in the world saw.
Me and my children,
images were chillin',
my son said, 'Daddy, were there people in that building?'
A cold sweat,
frozen, with a lump in my chest,
I heard his question,
couldn't bring my lips to say 'Yes' to 'im.
That night at my son's side,
he cried and prayed
for the ones who died in the World Trade,
his palms to God,
seeds of qualms with God.
He just kept on pressin' me,
wanna know why.
Then, one week later,
our bombs were dropped,
we seein' them
on CNN,
they just won't stop
the infrared images
of brutal attack.
He said, 'Daddy, now we killin' em back.
Right? Right?'

(Why?)
I really wish I could explain it baby,
(Why?)
it's just the world is kinda crazy baby,
(Why?)
ain't no pretty way to paint it baby,
(Why?)
don't cry,
dry your eyes.
(Why?)
I really wish I could explain it baby,
(Why?)
it's just the world is kinda crazy baby,
(Why?)
ain't no pretty way to paint it baby,
(Why?)
don't cry.

Souls are captured,
dreams are stolen,
hearts are broken,
evil blatantly rewarded.
Hate surrenders,
love exalted,
hope elated,
negativity is shorted.

Honest to God,
why is the bomb always gettin' the last word?
And why did her uncles have to molest her?
And why did all them cops have to be shootin' to kill?
And why did all them priests have to act so ill?
Tell me, why did James Byrd Jr. have to be touched?
Tell me, why did Malcolm and Martin depart from us?
Tell me, why did that sniper make the little boy shoot?
And why is human life always denied for loot?
Tell me, why did Mandela have to live in a cage?
Why did my brother Sterling have to die at that age?
Tell me, why did Reginald Denny deserve his fate?
And why the fuck can't love seem to defeat hate?
Tell me, why is it so hard for all the children to eat?
Why did 'Pac and Biggie Smalls have to fall in the street?
Tell me, why did Jam Master Jay have to go that way?
Please,
what am I supposed to say to my kids,
when they say,
'Why?'
I really wish I could explain it baby,
(Why?)
it's just the world is kinda crazy baby,
(Why?)
ain't no pretty way to paint it baby,
(Why?)
don't cry,
dry your eyes.
(Why?)
I really wish I could explain it baby,
(Why?)
it's just the world is kinda crazy baby,
(Why?)
ain't no pretty way to paint it baby,
(Why?)
don't cry,
dry your eyes.

Can't explain it baby,
life is just really crazy.
I mean if it's world wars
or the life of a little baby,
we got more stores
than they got rice under Buddha lazy.
You live four scores
and still it be driving you crazy.
But for me,
I try to see the bright side.
Sometimes it'd be like
the goodness be tryin' to hide,
be tryin' to flee,
but it can't,
it's deep inside.
Sweetie,
you be the light for others,
make 'em believe in God.

Souls are captured,
dreams are stolen,
hearts are broken,
evil blatantly rewarded.
Hate surrenders,
love exalted,
hope elated,
negativity is shorted.

Tu ek baar jo pyar se mujhko chu le toh har zakhm bhar jayega

Hamare khayalon mein khwaabon mein yaadon mein baaton mein rehte ho tum

Take Me As I Am

She's been down and out,
she's been wrote about,
she's been talked about,
constantly.
She's been up and down,
she's been pushed around,
but they held her down,
NYC.
She has no regrets,
she accepts the past,
all these things they helped
to make she.
She's been lost and found,
and she's still around,
there's a reason for
everything.

You know I've been holdin on.
Try to make me weak,
but I still stay strong.
Put my life all up in these songs,
just so you can feel me,
so you can get the real me.

So take me as I am,
or have nothing at all,
just take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.

Now she's older now,
yes, she's wiser now
can't disguise her now,
she don't need
no one tellin her
what to do and say,
no one tellin her
who to be.
She's on solid ground,
she's been lost and found,
now she answers to
G-O-D,
and she's confident
this is not the end.
Ask me how I know,
cause she is me.

You know I've been holdin on.
Try to make me weak,
but I still stay strong.
Put my life all up in these songs,
just so you can feel me,
so you can get the real me.

So take me as I am,
or have nothing at all,
just take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.

So it's all or nothing at all,
all or nothing at all,
don't you know I can only be me,
I can only be me, yeah,
I can only be me.
So it's all or nothing at all,
all or nothing at all,
don't you know I can only be me,
I can only be me, yeah,
this is me.

This is me,
this is me,
this is me,
this is me,
this is me,
no one else, no,
you can't take that from me, oh.

So take me as I am,
or have nothing at all,
just take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.

Spain (I Can Recall)

Yesterday,
just a photograph of yesterday,
and all its edges folded,
and the corners faded sepia brown.
And yet it's all I have of our past love,
a postscript to its ending.

Brighter days,
I can see such brighter days,
when every song we sang is sung again,
and now we know, we know this time it's for good,
and we're lovers once again,
and you're near me.

I can remember
the rain in December,
the leaves of brown
on the ground.
In Spain, I did love and adore you,
the nights filled with joy were our yesterdays,
and tomorrow will bring you near me.

I can recall my desire,
every reverie is on fire,
and I get a picture of all our yesterdays,
yes, today, I can say
I get a kick every time they play that Spain again.

I can remember
the rain in December,
the leaves of brown
on the ground.
Our love was a Spanish fiesta,
the bright lights and sounds were our joy each day,
and the nights were the heat of yearning.

I can recall my desire,
every reverie is on fire,
and I get a picture of all our yesterdays,
yes, today, I can say
I get a kick every time I see you gaze at me.

I see moments of history,
your eyes meet mine,
and they dance to the melody,
and we live again as if dreaming.
The sound of our hearts beat like castenets,
and forever we'll know their meaning.

I can recall my desire,
every reverie is on fire
and I get a picture of all our yesterdays,
yes, today, I can say
I get a kick every time I see you gaze at me.

(break)

You gaze at me,
I see moments of history,
your eyes meet mine,
and they dance to the melody,
and we live again as if dreaming.
The sound of our hearts beat like castenets,
and forever we'll know their meaning.

I can recall my desire,
every reverie is on fire,
and I get a picture of all our yesterdays,
yes, today I can say
I get a kick every time I see you gaze at me

(scat)

You gaze at me,
I see moments of history,
your eyes meet mine,
and they dance to the melody,
and we live again as if dreaming.
The sound of our hearts beat like castenets,
and forever we'll know their meaning.
I can remember
the rain in December
the leaves of brown
tumbling down.

In Spain I did love and adore you,
the nights filled with joy were our yesterdays
and tomorrow will bring you near me

I can recall my desire,
every reverie is on fire,
and I get a picture of all our yesterdays,
yes, today I can say
I get a kick every time you sing that Spain again.

Kehta Hai Baabul / कहता है बाबुल (from Baabul)

kehta hai baabul
o meri bitiya
tu to hai mere
jigar ki chitthiya
kehta hai baabul
o meri bitiya
tu to hai mere
jigar ki chitthiya

daakiya koi
jab aayega
tujhko churaake
le jayega

katega kaise lamha
tere bina bata
jiungaa kaise tanhaa
tere bina bata
katega kaise lamha
tere bina bata
jiungaa kaise tanhaa
tere bina bata

tu suhagan rahe sang saajan rahe raat din
is khushi ke liye har sitam main uthaa loonga
tere jaane ka gham mujhko hoga magar laadli
leke is dard ko main sada muskuraaunga

baabul to dil se de raha dua yahi
khushi ke saaye mein ho zindagi teri
baabul to dil se de raha dua yahi
khushi ke saaye mein ho zindagi teri

waqt ke saath zakhm ye bhar jayega
pal guzar jaayega tu meri baat maan le
yaadon ke aasre umr katati nahin
hai haqiqat yahi, ab tu jaan le

sumundaron ka paani koi na pi saka
akela khaara jivan koi na ji saka
sumundaron ka paani koi na pi saka
akela khaara jivan koi na ji saka

kehta hai baabul
o meri bitiya
tu to hai mere
jigar ki chitthiya
kehta hai baabul
o meri bitiya
tu to hai mere
jigar ki chitthiya

daakiya koi
jab aayega
tujhko churaake
le jayega

katega kaise lamha
tere bina bata
jiunga kaise tanha
tere bina bata
katega kaise lamha
tere bina bata
jiunga kaise tanha
tere bina bata

By Aadesh Shrivastava, with lyrics by Sameer, from the film Baabul.

Aaj Ki Raat / आज कि रात (from Don - The Chase Begins Again)

shaam hai, jaam hai, aur hai nasha
tan bhi hai man bhi hai pighla hua
chhayi hai rangeeliyan
phir bhi hain betabiyaan
kyun dhadakta hai dil, kyun yeh kehta hai dil
deewana ko ab tak nahin hai yeh pata
aaj ki raat, hona hai kya,
paana hai kya, khona hai kya
aaj ki raat, hona hai kya,
paana hai kya, khona hai kya

do ghadi mein hi yahan jaane kya hoga
jo hamesha tha mera bhi mera hoga?
kaun kiske dil mein hai faisla hoga
faisla hai yahi jeet hogi meri
oh deewana ko ab tak nahin hai yeh pata
aaj ki raat, hona hai kya,
paana hai kya, khona hai kya
aaj ki raat, hona hai kya,
paana hai kya, khona hai kya

aao main tumse kahoon baat chupke se
rang badlegi pal mein raat chupke se
tumko le jaaonga phir saath chupke se
jaaoge tum kahan, dekho main hoon yahan
deewana ko ab tak nahin hai yeh pata
aaj ki raat, hona hai kya,
paana hai kya, khona hai kya
aaj ki raat, hona hai kya,
paana hai kya, khona hai kya

By Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy, lyrics by Javed Akhtar, from the film Don - The Chase Begins Again

Beedi / बीडी (from Omkara)

If anyone can help with the complete lyrics for Beedi from Omkara, I'd be very, very grateful -- this is a fantastic song by Vishal Bharadwaj with lyrics by Gulzar, that deserves to be available as text. My Hindi is still not good enough for me to do it myself, and no one else has written this song up completely, so far. If you can help, send me email (check my profile for addie), or write a comment on this post. I'll be sure to give you credit here, when the complete text is up.

these incomplete lyrics for Beedi are from http://www.indiafm.com/lyrics/song/51462/index.html

Check Ankur Jain's blog for his Aug 2006 Archive, where you can find his lyrics for Beedi.

o kitni sardi hai kisika lihaal layile
jaa padosi ke chulhe se aag layile
jaa padosi ke chulhe se aag layile

beedi jalai le
jigar se piya
jigar maa badi aag hai
beedi jalai le jigar se piya
jigar maa badi aag hai

dhua na nikari o lab se piya
ah haa
dhua na nikari o lab se piya
je duniya badi jhaag hai

o beedi jalai le jigar se piya
jigar maa badi aag hai

naa ghilaaf

thandi hawa bhi khilaaf sasuri
o kitni sardi hai kisika lihaal layile
jaa padosi ke chulhe se aag layile

baandh ghungru kacehri lagai liyo re

na toh chakkua ki dhaar
na daraati na kataar

aisa kaate ke daat ka nisaan chod de
je kataai to koi bhi kisaan chod de
o aise jaalim ka chod de makaan chod de

jaalim ka chod de makaan chod de
aise jaalim ka
o aise jaalim ka

mhane neend se jagaya hai re
aisa chaukail haath mein naseeb aa
woh elaichi khilai ke kareeb aa gaya

koyla jalai le

jigar maa badi aag hai

kitni sardi hai kisi ka lihaaf lei le
o jaa padosi
o jaa padosi
jaa jaa padosi
o jaa padosi ke chulhe se aag layile

O Saathi Re / ओ साथी रे (from Omkara)

o saathi re din dube na
o saathi re din dube na
aa chal din ko roke
dhup ke peeche daude
chaanv chhue na
o saathi re

o saathi re din dube na
aa chal din ko roke
dhup ke peeche daude
chaanv chhue na
o saathi re

o saathi re din dube na
thaka thaka suraj jab nadi se hokar niklega

hari hari kaayi pe paanv bada toh fislega

tum rok ke rakhna main jaal giraaun

tum pith pe lena main haath lagaaun
din dube na ha
teri meri atti patti
daat se khaati katti
re jaiiyo na
o piyu re

o piyu re na jaiyyo na

kabhi kabhi yun kare main daantu aur tum darna

ugal pade aankhon se feenke paani ka jharna

hum tere kehre badan mein sil jaaungi re
jab karwat lega tu chhil jaaungi re

sang le jaaunga
teri meri angni mangni
and sang laagi sangni
sang le jaaun
o piyu re

o saathi re din dube na
aa chal din ko roke
dhup ke peeche daude
chaanv chhue na
o saathi re

Jaaneman / जानेमन (from Aryan)

sajan ghar aana tha sajan ghar aaye hain

chand ho tum chandni se bheega jaaye man
jaaneman, jaaneman, jaaneman, jaaneman

kwabon ki is ghar ki khair kare oh rabba

door tale kalesh aur bair kare oh rabba
naazon se badi maine kari hain taiyyariyaan
din raat pyar diyan nazraan utariyaan
yeh mohabbat hai ibadat kabhi ho na kam
janeman, janeman, janeman, janeman

aagosh mein meri zulph sanwaroon teri
chahat ke rangon se main maang saja doon teri

maahiya ve aaj mainu aaive kyon ve lagda

hum yahan hain tum yahan ho, hone do milan
