Many blogs many stories but this is going to be a diverse one. The purpose behind this blog is just to share some facts about my playlist with my music freak friends. It is a dedicating to both the categories of my friends i.e. people who love to listen to songs and people who love to sing. Now you must be wondering about the funda behind this blog. Well there is so much in my container for you which I would like to pour slowly slowly on you guys. I can claim that you will surely get entertained by this blog of mine.After going through a hectic day when I relax on the bed I love to plug in the earphone and scroll the button to my favorite number. I hope most of you do that. I have been listening to Zubeen from the time that I don’t remember. Now all my non-assamese friends may not be familiar to this name. Just a line to describe Zubeen would be “the soul of assamese music”. There will be barely anyone in Assam who could tell “I don’t like Zubeen’s song”. So many albums and so many hits. If you can recall the “ya ali” song from Gangster……he is the same singer. The best part of his songs is the heart touching lyrics. In this blog I just would like to share few of his lyrics and will attempt to translate it for my non-assamese friends. It may not be the exact translation but still would love to give a try.
The current track of Zubeen that I am listening these days is all about a red hanky. The emotion behind a hanky is beautifully embodied in this song. This is a song from his album “RUMAL”. The lyrics of the song goes like this----- Ekobin khokutikar prem kahini,rumalore bhajote shmritire rengoni
Ekobin khokutikar mur kahini,rumalore khasote shmrity hoi moromi
Rumalor bhajee bhajee,dukhore binoni,
Rumalot kahini.rumalot ziboni,rumalot humonia,rumalot usopponi
Rumal rumal rumal rumal rumal,ekhon rongga rumal
Rumal rumal rumal rumal rumal,ajir kheta rumal.
khai kun kahanit dekha aijuri kajol soku
monot porile ajiu khuke khunde buku
krishno surar tolot,schoolor duporiyat
classor phake phake,koto nu umal kotha
lutiyai sale ziboni paaw mathu
Rumal rumal rumal rumal rumal,ekhon rongga rumal
Rumal rumal rumal rumal rumal,ajir kheta rumal.
Khitore khemeka eti aabeli ase monot
Hothate korubak eri oha bedona pranot
Khikto sokur kajal,odhorot bikhal kumol
Aajoli bhorai lolu,khopun sikun kumol
Ekhagor morom nigora khai rumal
Rumal rumal rumal rumal rumal,ekhon rongga rumal
Rumal rumal rumal rumal rumal,ajir kheta rumal.
Ekobin khokhu tikar prem kahini,rumalore bhajote shmritire rengoni
Ekobin khokutikar mur kahini,rumalore khasote shmrity hoi morom
Rumalor bhajee bhajee,dukhore binoni,
Rumalot kahini.rumalot ziboni,rumalot humonia,rumalot usopponi
Rumal rumal rumal rumal rumal,ekhon rongga rumal
Rumal rumal rumal rumal rumal,ajir kheta rumal.
It is slightly a different idea but after reading the meaning of this song hopefully you will think over it. When we cry we use a napkin or a hanky. Our tears are absorbed in it and all our emotions remains there. In this song a boy addresses to his lost childhood love and he relates all the emotions with a red hanky----
It’s the love story of 1 among 1000's, in d foldings of a hanky.
Among 1000's it is my love story and
In d form of a hanky my love became memory.
In every foldings of the hanky, the weeping of the pain is preserved
The story remains in this hanky, all weeping’s remain in this hanky
It’s this red hanky which is moistening today.
It is been an era that I saw those smoky eyes , full of “kajal”
when I recall it now, the sorrow hits my heart hard
Under the Krishnosura(name of a big tree),
In d afternoon’s of the school days
In the middle of the class I remember those funny gossips
When I turn d pages of my autobiography, I only find d red hanky
Hanky and only this hanky which is moisten today.
I remember the wet evening of that winter when I suddenly left you
I remember d pinch inside my heart when I left you that day
The splitting kajal of the wet eyes was magical and huge to look at
I took all that into my arms as a transparent and smooth dream
The love was equal to sea and it was preserved in the hanky
It is this hanky and the red hanky that's
All I have with me today as you……..
