Tere Liye (Unplugged)

Artist: Shreya Ghoshal, Atif Aslam
Album: Prince

Dil mein basi meri har ik saans hai tere liye
Tu jo kahe chod dhun mein yeh jahaan tere liye
Hai dil mein basi meri har ik saans hai tere liye
Tu jo kahe chod dhun mein yeh jahaan tere liye
Jannatein sajaayi maine tere liye
Chod dhi khudayi maine tere liye
Jannatein sajaayi maine tere liye
Chod dhi khudayi
Zara paas tu aa mere
Tere liye jhoomoon deewana banke
Tere liye vaada hai mera mein hoon
Tere liye hona kabhi tu juda
Tere liye jhoomoon deewana banke
Tere liye vaada hai mera mein hoon
Tere liye hona kabhi tu juda

Vaadon ka kya karoon aane kahin bikhte nahin
Dikhte hai sapne magar sapnon mein tu dikhta nahin
Khwaab sajaaye the tere liye
Jannatein sajaayi thi tere liye
Apne bulaaye maine tere liye
Sab hai paraaye ab mere liye!
Tere liye jhoomoon deewana banke
Tere liye vaada hai mera mein hoon
Tere liye hona kabhi tu juda
Tere liye jhoomoon deewana banke
Tere liye jannatein sajaayi
Tere liye hona kabhi tu juda
Zara paas tu aa mere

Hosanna

En maru idhayam tharuven nee udaikave

Everybody wanna know
I feel like, I feel like I really wanna be here with you
It's not enough to know that we are made for each other
It's love that is Hosanna true... hosanna
Be there when you're callin' out me name... Hosanna
Be it like me whole life has changed
I never wanna be the same
It's time we rearrange
I take a step, you take a step, and we are callin' out to you
Hello... halo... halo... yo... hosanna...

Vanna vanna pattupoochi poothedi poothedi

Oh sottu sottaay thottu pona megam ondru megam ondru

Halo... halo... halo... yo... hosanna
Hosanna - En meedhu anbu kolla

Hosanna - Mm endru sollu podhum
Hosanna...
Yen idhayam udaithaay norungave
En maru idhayam tharuven nee udaikave
Yen idhayam udaithaay norungave
En maru idhayam tharuven nee udaikave

Yeh hai meri kahani
Khamosh zindgani
Sannata keh raha hai
Kyun zulm seh raha hai
Ik dastaan purani
Tanhaayi ki zubani
Har zakhm khil raha hai
Kuch mujhse keh raha hai
Chubte kaante yaadon ke daaman se chunta hoon
Girte diwaron ke aanchal mein zinda hoon

Bas yeh meri kahani
Benishaan nishani
Ik dard beh raha hai
Kuch mujhse keh raha hai
Chubte kaante yaadon ke daaman se chunta hoon
Girte diwaron ke aanchal mein zinda hoon

Bajaaye pyar ki shabnam meri gulistaan hai
Baraste rehte hai aur simt mauth ke saaye
Siyahiyon se ulajh padthi hai meri aankhen
Koi nahi... koi bhi nahin jo badlaaye
Mein kitni der ujalon ke raah dekhein
Koi nahin hai koi bhi nahin 
Na paas na door ik yaar hai
Dil ki dadkan apni chaahat ka jo ellan kiye jaati hai
Zindagi hai jo jeeye jaati hai
Khoon ke goot piye jaati hai
Khwaab aankhon se siye jaati hai

Ab na koi paas hai 
Phir bhi ehsaas hai
Siyahiyon mein uljhi padi
Jeene ki ik aans hai
Yaadon ka jungle yeh dil
Kaaton se jal thal yeh dil
Chubte kaante yaadon ke daaman se chunta hoon
Girti diwaron ke aanchal mein zinda hoon

Toh Phir Aao

Toh phir aao... mujko sathaao...
Toh phir aao... mujko rulaao...
Dil baadal bane, aankhein behen lage
Aahein aise utte, jaise aandhi chale
Toh phir aao... mujko sathaao...
Toh phir aao... mujko rulaao...
Aa bhi jao... aa bhi jao...
Aa bhi jao... aa bhi jao...

Gham le ja tere, jo bhi tu ne diye
Ya phir mujko bathaa, inko kaise sahein
Toh phir aao... mujko sathaao...
Toh phir aao... mujko rulaao...
Aa bhi jao... aa bhi jao...
Aa bhi jao... aa bhi jao...

Ab toh iss manzar se mujko chale jaana hai
Jin raahon pe mera yaar hai
Un raahon ko mujhe paana hai
Toh phir aao... mujko sathaao...
Toh phir aao... mujko rulaao...
Aa bhi jao... aa bhi jao...
Aa bhi jao... aa bhi jao...

Notes:
This is a really wonderful song that I heard during my 2004 India trip, when Harini, myself, and our family were going to a restaurant. What was even cooler was that this song takes place when Surya and Jyothika take a road trip, and we were also listening to the song when we were heading somewhere in the car! I, of course, didn't know this, but had the song stuck in my head (singing wrong lyrics and tunes) and wanted to find the song. When I went to Bang, my friend there told me which song it was and I immediately bought the cassette (I wasn't "hip" at that time :D). I have this song and my other favorites in a bunch on my iPod (apparently I'm "hip" now) and keep listening to it very often. Beautiful scenes shown in the video of the song, and one of my all-time favorites.
சிறகுகள் நீளுதே
பறவைகள் போலவே
விண்வெளி தாண்டியே
துள்ளி துள்ளி போகுதே
Plants are growing longer
Just like birds
Crossing the rainbow
Jumping and crossing
புது வித அனுபவம்
நொடியினில் பெருகிடும்
இருவரின் உயிரையும்
அள்ளி அள்ளி பருகுதே
This is a new experience
That you can understand in a snap
Both our life-essences
are being taken and enjoyed
என்னை கொஞ்சம் மாற்றி
என் நெஞ்சில் உன்னை ஊற்றி
நீ மெல்ல மெல்ல என்னை கொள்ளாதே
Changing me a little
Pouring yourself into my heart
You, don't kill me slowly
நேற்றும் இன்றும் வேற
இன்று காணும் நானும் நானா
உன் பேச்சில் என்னை வீழ்த்தி செல்லாதே
Yesterday and today are different
Now today I am what you see
Don't whisk me away with your words
ஒன்னே ஒன்னு சொல்லணம்
உன் முகத்தை பார்த்து சொல்லணம்
தனிமை கொஞ்சம் கிடைக்க கூடாதா
I have to tell you just one thing
And I have to see your face and tell this
Can't we be alone for a little while?
நானும் மாறி போனதேன்
என் நளினம் கூடி போனதேன்
அது தெரிந்தால் நீயே சொள்ளகூதாத்ஆ
Why have I changed?
Why has my beauty grown?
If you know, can't you tell me?
யாரை நான் கேட்பேன்
நீ சொல்வாயா
நீயே சொல்வாயா
Who will I ask?
Will you tell me?
I want only you to tell me

Translation:

உயிரின் உயிரே, உயிரின் உயிரே
நதியின் மடியில் காத்துக் கிடைக்கின்றேன்
ஈர அலைகல் நீரை வாரி முகத்தில் இறைத்தும்
முழுதும் வேர்க்கின்றேன் [1]

The life-essence of life, the life-essence of life,
In the river’s lap, I lay there awaiting,
rows of cool waves, parting its way through the water, splashing my face,
completely perspiring.

நகரும் நெருப்பாய் கொழுந்து விட்டெரிந்தேன்
அணைந்த பின்பும், அனலின் மேலிருந்தேன்
காலைப் பனியாக என்னை வாரிகொண்டாய் [2]

All fire, blades of flame, I cut and threw away{?}
Even after [they've been] snuffed out, [I am] on top of the hot air
In the form of the morning mist, You whisked (swept) me away.

நேரம் கூட எதிரி ஆகிவிட,
யுகங்களாக வேடம் மாறிவிட,
அணைத்து கொன்டாயே, பின்பு ஏனோ சென்றாய் [3]

Time passes by, flowing against me
yugas pass by, the Vedas change
Took hold of me, only to later abandoned me, for whatever reason.

சுவாசம் இன்றி தவக்கிறேனே,
உனது மூச்சில் பிழைக்கிறேனே
இதழ்களை இதழ்களால் நிரப்பிட வா பெண்ணே [4]

I quiver/struggle as the prana ebbs away
Only by your breath I survive (sustain)

Your lips fill my lips, come Girl!


நினைவு எங்கோ நீந்திச் செல்ல
கனவு வந்து கண்ணைக் கிள்ள
நிழல் எது நிஜம் எது குழம்பினேன் வா பெண்ணே [5]

Memories going away, fading (swimming) out of me,
[Wake me] out of my dream, pinch my cheek.
What is shadow? what is real? I am confused, come Girl!

காற்றில் எந்தன் கைகள் இரண்டும்
உன்னை அன்றி யாரைத் தேடும்
விலகிப் போகாதே, தொலைந்து போவேனே,
நான்…நான்…நான் [6]

In the wind my two hands [reach out]
who else besides you it looks for [to behold]?
Don’t pass by without noticing me! I will be lost!
thyself… thyself… thyself…

இரவின் போர்வை என்னை சூழ்ந்து
மெல்ல மெல்ல மூடும் தாழ்ந்து
விடியலைத் தேடினேன் உன்னிடம் வா பெண்ணே [7]

The blanket of night surrounds (covers) me,
little by little closes in low [on me]
In the dark I searched, come Girl!

பாதம் எங்கும் சாவின் ரணங்கள்
நரகம் ஆகும் காதல் கணங்கள்
ஒருமுறை மடியிலே உறங்குவேன் வா பெண்ணே [8]

Footprints of death’s wounds {?}
Into ash/hell, the angels of love
Just once let me sleep in your lap, come Girl!

தாமதிக்கும் ஒவொரு கணமும்
தவணை முறையில் மரணம் நிகழும்
அருகில் வாராயோ விரல்கள் தாரயோ [9]

I envision (acknowledge/respect) you in every second (instance)
in that way death closes in {?}
Won’t you come close, won’t you give your hand (fingers)?

Wow, incredible translation done by Pari's blog. I had to get some help as I couldn't understand the full meaning of the song. My mother tongue is Tamil, yet there is some old Tamil involved in this song, so I couldn't understand it properly. In any case, outstanding translation. 

In other notes, this song has always been one of my favorites since I heard one of its friends, Ennai Konjam Maatri, which I will be posting next. I love the way the music and lyrics just flow into you, and you can't help it but sing, and the one thing that really took me by surprise is when I was just merely humming this song, my sister heard and immediately wanted to listen to the song; the song is that good. Hats off to Karthik, the singer, and hats off to Rahman. Also the Gibberish by Sunitha Sarathy is quite nice. I say gibberish, because I have no clue what she is saying (no offense).
