Chennai Express: The Honey Singh Drama

I was surprised, and not pleasantly, when I heard Yo Yo Honey Singh was singing for Vishal-Shekhar in Chennai Express.

I am not against Honey Singh's rapping style. He's a talented guy who does sing well. But I have never liked the person that Honey Singh is, simply because of the way he deals with and talks about girls. So I was surprised, or say, shocked, when I heard Vishal-Shekhar, who have been known for their character more than their music, with especially Vishal, who is so vocal for social issues, are getting Honey Singh to sing for them. That too, with none other than SPB. Truth be told, I couldn't believe this.

For some time, I was thinking of asking Vishal and Shekhar on Twitter if this was really true, when I found out that the reports about Honey Singh singing for the movie were false, and apparently Shekhar himself made that clear.

That's great. Thanks V-S. Never mind Yo-Yo. I hope you too will leave the days of your bad name behind and be good someday soon.

Update: As you probably know already, Honey Singh is singing Lungi Dance in Chennai Express. In the words of an anonymous commenter, that's a big slap on my face. Not sure, though I hated the song like anything. Still, it's there on BollyMeaning. Btw, it's supposed to be a tribute to Rajinikanth Ji. I wonder if someone has asked the superstar how he liked it.

Update: As expected, this seems to have created an issue between Vishal-Shekhar and Shahrukh Khan, and the duo, originally the judges of Indian Idol Junior, were not present at the show in the episode where Shahrukh Khan came to promote Chennai Express.

Tera Rasta Main Chhodun Na: Lyrics Translation [Chennai Express]

Movie: Chennai Express [All Translations Here]
Music: Vishal-Shekhar
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Amitabh Bhattacharya, Anusha Mani

Meherbaani nahi tumhaaraa pyaar maangaa hai
Tumhein manzoor hai tabhee to yaar maangaa hai
Gairon ke dar se, tere sheher se
Hai kasam rishtaa todun na..

Tera rasta main chhodun na..
Tera rastaa main chhodoon naa..

I have not asked for a favor, but your love..
Since you agree, that's why only I have asked..
Just because of the fear of others,
With your city, I'll not break my relation, I swear..

I'll not let you go.. [literally: won't leave your road]
I'll not let you go...

Agar ye hai nahi, to phir jaanay pyaar kyaa hai
Mere bheetar tu, kise parvaah aur kyaa hai
Teraa rastaa chhodun naa, chhodoon naa main teraa rastaa chhodun naa

If this is not love, I don't know what is..
You're within me, who cares for more..
I'll not let you go...

Zindaa hoon lekin, wo baat nahi hai
Haathon mein teraa, jo haath nahi hai
Ishq kaa hai naam badaa, maine hai kiyaa kaam badaa
Kar ke magar aadhaa chhodoon naa
Tere rukh se ye chehraa moDoon naa
Tera rastaa main chhodoon naa

I'm alive, but it's not the same anymore,
now that your hand is not in mine..
The name of love is big, and I've done a noble deed..
But I'll not leave it half done..
I'll not turn away from your face..
I'll not let you go...

Chaahat hai meree, kusoor nahi hai
Dil jazbaatee hai, majboor nahi hai
Sar ye bhalay phoot gayaa, jism meraa toot gayaa
Khud se kiyaa vaadaa todoon naa
Baandhoon sehraa, kafan odhoon naa
Tera rastaa main chhodoon naa

It's my love, not some crime..
The heart is emotional, not helpless..
Even if the head is broken, and the body too,
I'll not break the promise made to myself..
I'll wear a wedding veil, not a shroud..
I'll not let you go...

::Bullah Kih Jana Main Kaun  Lyrics::

 

Na maen momin vich maseet aan
Na maen vich kufar diyan reet aan
Na maen paakaan vich paleet aan
Na maen moosa na pharaun.

Bulleh! ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen andar ved kitaab aan,
Na vich bhangaan na sharaab aan
Na vich rindaan masat kharaab aan
Na vich jaagan na vich saun.

Bulleh! ki jaana maen kaun.

Na vich shaadi na ghamnaaki
Na maen vich paleeti paaki
Na maen aabi na maen khaki
Na maen aatish na maen paun

Bulleh!, ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen arabi na lahori
Na maen hindi shehar nagauri
Na hindu na turak peshawri
Na maen rehnda vich nadaun

Bulla, ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen bheth mazhab da paaya
Ne maen aadam havva jaaya
Na maen apna naam dharaaya
Na vich baitthan na vich bhaun

Bulleh , ki jaana maen kaun

Avval aakhir aap nu jaana
Na koi dooja hor pehchaana
Maethon hor na koi siyaana
Bulla! ooh khadda hai kaun

Bulla, ki jaana maen kaun
