Darbadar hai Darbadar Khudaya Lyrics Translation [I Me aur Main]



Movie: I Me aur Main
Music: Sachin-Jigar
Lyrics: Mayur Puri
Singer: Monali Thakur, with Divya Kumar, Harshit Saxena, Altamash Faridi, Shaadab

Dil mein daraarein..
Dil mein daraarein hi daraarein hain
Dil mein kayi hain daraarein..

cracks in the heart,
there are many cracks in the heart,
many cracks in the heart..

Yaadein teri hain daraarein
Toote jo tinka to hawa ka aasraa
Toote sahara to dua ka aasraa
Dil toot jaaye to wo jaaye kahaan

Your memories are cracks,
If the straw breaks, I live on the support of wind,
If all support goes, I live on prayers (and wishes)
But if the heart breaks, where would it go..

Darbadar hai darbadar Khudaya
Darbadar hai bekhabar hai ye dil
Darbadar ka humsafar na koi darbadar ki manzil

O God, it's homeless,
this unaware heart is homeless..
There is neither a companion to this homeless, nor a destination..

Hain adhoore sire jo
Wo khule hi rahe to
Tum se hi thhe ye hi maan ke hum chale to
Ye jo thoda shikwa hai tera mera gila hai gar hota nahi
Chaahe lage ya na lage dil tootne ka darr hota nahi
Sochaa hai pehle bhi kitna par hota nahi

The incomplete ends that were there,
if they remain open,
If I believe they were from you only,
It's a little complaint, a tiff between us, if it wasn't there,
Whether I happens or not, I wouldn't have this fear of breaking my heart.
I have thought so many times earlier too, but I am not able to do this.

Darbadar hai, darbadar Khudaya
Darbadar hai bekhabar hai, ye dil
Darbadar ka humsafar na koi darbadar ki manzil

Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram
Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram
Non stop party,
aaj ki party
celebrations tere naam..

Hail Lord Raam,
Non-stop party,
today's party,
celebrations for you, in your name..



Rango se bhi rangeen hai
ye pal bada namkeen hai
phir ye samaa na ayega
phir ye nasha na chhayega

This is more colorful than colors themselves,
This moment is very salty.. [as in, fun, interesting]
This time won't come again,
This intoxication won't cover us again..

raina bhi khwaabon ke charaaghon se saji hai
mere khayaalon mein bhi dhoom machi hai
dehke hue hain armaa..

Even the night is adorned with lamps of dreams,
There is an uproar in my thoughts too..
The desires are all lit up..

Hola Amigo, sabko salaam..

Hello friend, salute to all..

[Hola Amigo is Spanish]

Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram
Raghupati Raghav..

Madras Cafe: Music Review [Shantanu Moitra]



The album begins with Papon singing Maula Sun le re, a call to God, giving in to Him and asking for help. Papon's deep voice suits the neutral-sad tone of the song, or you can say that Papon sings in that voice of his. Either way, the song is a treat to listen to after you have heard it a few times and got the meaning.

The second song is a slow, feathery light kind of song. Shantanu Moitra keeps just a little acoustic, guitar sound in the background and Zeb [of Zeb and Haniya] sings in a feather light mode, as if there is not much music to go for, as if it's a poem she is humming for her beloved. And the utterly romantic lyrics, 'Jaise milein Ajnabi' are just beautiful. Zeb's musical, but imperfect diction/rendition interestingly adds to the charm. Listen to it a few times, and fall for it.

Khud se Dil Dar sa Gaya hai, is the last original 'song' of the album. Papon sings this one again. Slightly haunting, with Piano, the song is again not kept too high on instruments but the heavy lyrics, not in terms of the words, but meanings, don't make you feel that it's a light track. The repetitions of 'Khud se' grow a little too much as I don't get their point, but song is good. Not the nice kind, a bit heavy. In the second half the song turns into an anthem kind of thing with the chorus, and Papon's singing just before that is the best part of the song.

Next track is a reprise of Maula Sun le re, sung by Papon only. You may even call it a rock version, though it's not too heavy, and sounds slightly faster. Not bad, but the main version sounds better.

After the 'songs', the themes and instrumentals begin, and first comes Madras Cafe Theme, that credits Monali Thakur.

Madras Cafe theme is a long one, around four minutes, with a nice all-strings build up, and then it turns towards a little more Indian multi-instrument theme, but not many playing at one time. The same thing being played on different instruments, a little like Mohabbatein instrumental piece, but certainly very different in style and mood.

Conspiracy has some nice singing, which is probably done by Monali Thakur. It has kind of minimal music, and still with the little background music it has, it gives you the feel of the tension in the air. Nice work for background.

Entry to Jaffna is a small, and as one can guess, slightly tensed tune, that seems to have just violins.

Title Theme is I believe what you have heard already so many times, the one that plays in the background with the trailer. It certainly grows on you.

Overall, with some lovely songs, all of them actually, and two good themes that work even without the movie, that is Madras Cafe Theme and the Title Theme, Madras Cafe is a kind of small album with quality content. Do listen to it, at least the songs if themes are not your thing.

Sawaar/ Sanwaar Loon Lyrics Translation (Lootera)



Sanwaar Loon is one of the best songs of Lootera. However, the song has been sung AND spelled as Sawaar loon, which really doesn't mean what it should and hence is irritating in a way. However, the song is beautiful other than this issue, and Amit Trivedi's music as well as Amitabh Bhattacharya's lyrics are wonderful. Here is a translation for the song. For more detail on the difference of Sanwaar Loon and Sawaar Loon, check THIS POST.

hawaa ke jhonke aaj mausamon se rooth gaye
gulon ki shokhiyaan jo bhanwre aa ke loot gaye
badal rahi hai aaj Zindagi ki chaal Zaraa
isee bahaane main bhi kyoon naa dil ka haal Zaraa
sanwaar loon haye sanwaar loon

Gusts of wind got upset with the weather today..
As the bumblebees looted the brilliance of flowers
today the way of life has changed little bit
Taking that as an excuse, why I too not make my heart feel better,
Why shouldn't I too pamper my heart..

baraamade puraane hain, nayi si dhoop hai
Jo palkein khatkhata raha hai kis kaa roop hai
sharaaratein kare jo aise
bhool ke hizaab
kaise us ko naam se main pukaar loon

The verandas are old, but the sunshine I see is new..
Whose beauty is that is knocking at my eyelids..
The one, who makes mischieves,
forgetting the veils,
How do I call him by name?

Ye saaree koyalein baneeN hain aaj daakiyaa
Kuhu-kuhu mein chitthiyaan padhein mazaakiyaa
Inhe kaho ki naa chhupaayen
Kis ne hai likhaa bataayein,
Us ki aaj main nazar utaar loon
Sanwaar loon haye sanwaar loon
Sanwaar loon, sanwaar loon..

All these cuckoos have become postmen,
In their cuckooing, they read the letters in jokes..
Tell them not to hide,
and tell me clearly who has written [the letter]
I'll remove the effect of evil eye for him..
I'll adorn myself, and my heart..

Lyrics, Meaning and Singing: Sawaar Loon vs Sanwaar Loon [Critique]



Amit Trivedi, for the first time, has a discredit to his name. I do not know if this has happened before this, but for the first time I feel he has been negligent, and the cost is that one of his songs irritates me, and many more, though not all, not even most.

Reason? One of the best songs of Lootera, at least one of the best could-be songs of Lootera, Sanwaar Loon, is sung with lot of irritating mistakes by Monali Thakur, and it reaches the audience like that. Even the title of the song, which should have been Sanwaar Loon, is Sawaar Loon, the former meaning 'I would decorate/adorn' and the latter meaning 'get a rider', if at all meaning something.

This is not all. Bhanvre are Bhavre, Jhonke are Jhoke, Kyoon is Kyoo, and it goes on, e.g. 'Ye saari koyale bani hai aaj daakiya' almost as if the singer got a bad cold while singing.

It's not like we haven't heard such things in the past, but this seems to have happened for the first time with such a beautiful song, a song that could be heard on loop, and remembered for ages, and that is what makes us sad. As for the blame, I'd blame the music director here, as the singer is a newbie, at least to this kind of song, and doesn't boast of Hindi as her first language. But Amit Trivedi is a music director who seems to take every small thing into account, so how he missed the 'talaffuz' in the only version of the introductory song of an Anurag Kashyap movie, is questionable.

Oh, I have beaten the boy to death. But that's the result of killing a must-have-been-a-favorite song. Hope they take care of this in future. Amitabh Sir, I hope you too are listening.

संवार लूं - Sawaar Loon (Lootera, Monali Thakur)



Movie/Album: लूटेरा (2013)
Music By: अमित त्रिवेदी
Lyrics By: अमिताभ भट्टाचार्य
Performed By: मोनाली ठाकुर

हवा के झोंके आज मौसमों से रूठ गए
गुलों की शोखियाँ जो भँवरे आके लूट गए
बदल रही है आज ज़िन्दगी की चाल ज़रा
इसी बहाने क्यूँ ना मैं भी दिल का हाल ज़रा
संवार लूं, हाय संवार लूं

बरामदे पुराने हैं नयी सी धुप है
जो पलके खटखटा रहा है किसका रूप है
शरारतें करे जो ऐसे भूलके हिजाब
कैसे उसको नाम से, मैं पुकार लूं
संवार लूं, संवार लूं…

ये सारी कोयलें बनी हैं आज डाकिया
कुहू-कुहू में चिट्ठियां पढ़े मजाकिया
इन्हें कहो की ना छुपाये
किसने है लिखा बताए
उसकी आज मैं नज़र उतार लूं
संवार लूं, संवार लूं…
