very nice...beautiful concept...good luck...

6,666 plays when i played!! Great effort. Well done!

Everything, right to the artwork, is next level.

listening to this and relating to the original song..lol 

An amazing idea and what an execution! Blown away! Loved the translation and the instrumentation.

I wish I were able read the lyrics inDevanagarii of course!!!!!great !

The acoustic guitar notes are a bit off beat but the song is epic.

Karthik Sings Aasai Mugham Marandhu Poche

A feel-good pop-rock song about a not so feel-good topic. It speaks of how we're relentlessly attacking all of our natural surroundings without considering the consequences, because we consider ourselves masters of everything. Nature will only take it for so long, before she says enough, and shows us that we are indeed powerless in comparison.

Lyrics

स्वमात्रं गच्छन् पुरुषोऽहम्
तामसे मार्गे गच्छति सति 
अथवा उपवने चलति सति
सन्ध्या आगच्छति सति  
वैचित्र्यम् अनुभवामि  
तमसि उद्विग्नो भवामि  

तिमिरात् भीतिः तिमिरात् भीतिः  
सदा भीतिः, जानासि त्वम्?  
तिमिरात् भीतिः नितरां भीतिः    
कोऽयम् माम् अनुवर्तते इति  

अन्धे दीपम् अन्विष्यन्    
किं नखेन भित्तिम् स्पृशसि?  
तदा रोमान्चम् अनुभवसि?  
कोष्ठस्य कोणे द्रष्टुम्  
बिभेषि किम् कदाचित्  
कश्चन अस्तीति भ्रमात्?   

रात्रौ (एकाकी) असि कदाचित्?  
भ्रमात् कश्चन शृणोषि  
यद्यपि न कोऽपि तत्र  
त्वरेण ततो गच्छसि  
पुनरवलोकनम् विना  
कश्चन अस्तीति भयात्  

रात्रौ भीषणम् अन्वीक्ष्य  
प्रेतपिशाचान् वितर्क्य  
अज्ञातं मनः पीडयति  
मनोः वञ्चयति स्यात् त्वम्  
पृष्ठतः चलत् तमः  
अकस्मात् वीक्षसे त्वम्

Lyrics by SP Suresh (https://twitter.com/vajrabhrt)

अथ कस्त्वम् कुतो वन्द्यः ?
मानी प्रभुरवादीत् 
Who are you now, who deserves such respect (and obeisance)? 
So said the proud Lord 

उभावपि सिम्हौ रुचिरेव भिन्ना 
इदमेव तथ्यं जानामि
We are both lions, only the sheen is different! 
This is the truth that I know!

सुवर्णम् रक्तम् वा भवतु चर्म 
नखाः समाना एव! 
मम तु दीर्घास् तीव्राश्च  
त्वदीयेभ्यस् तीव्रतराः
Let the skin (sheath) be gold or red, 
the nails are similar! 
Mine are long and sharp  
Sharper than yours!  

इत्यवोचत् इत्यवोचत् 
काश्मीररजः  
So he said, so he said, the King of Kashmir

अद्य तु शून्या तत्सभा 
विलापवृश्टिस्तस्याम् 
Now his court is deserted 
And there is a rain of tears in it 


Rains Of Kashmir

Yngwie Malmsteen is the sole reason I wanted to become a guitarist back when I was a teenager and I still love playing his older songs. Brothers is of the Seventh Sign album and it one of my favorite songs from that album.

शैशवं शरीरवासात् अतिरिच्यते
आश्चर्यभूतं तद्यत्र सर्वम्
अस्मद्विचारस्य न सीमा न परिमिति:
ततो विभागमणि: ध्वन्यते 

शैशवक्रीडांगणेषु तेषु 
के मिलन्तीति चिन्तये
      
मम मित्राणि विरलानि माम् अनुवर्तन्ते
यावत् वयं वास्तविकात् धावितुं यतामहे
तावत् प्रौढत्वम् अस्मान् आकर्षते
शनैः शनैः जर्जरजीवितं प्रति भूतले

तत्तृणं हरिततरम्
तत्तेजः प्रकाशतरम्
मित्रैः आवृताः
रात्रिकाः अद्भुताः

अतीतं पश्यामः तथापि गन्तुं न शक्नुमः
अहो शैशवम् अतिसुन्दरं च विशुद्धम्
अग्रे व्रजामः परन्तु पश्चात् स्वपन्तो व्रजामः 
चेतो नः पश्चाद्गमने प्रेरयति

निःशंकया मननं यदि यतेम निश्चयेन शिखरं प्राप्स्यामः

प्रौढत्वेन वयं लोभिनः जिगीषवश्च भवामः
शैशवाय तृष्णा एव परिशिष्यते
तानेव हि दिवसान् अनुपश्यामः
यद्यपि बहोः कालात् इममेव मार्गम् अनुसरामः

तत्तृणं हरिततरम्
तत्तेजः प्रकाशतरम्
रुचिः मधुरतरा
रात्रिकाः अद्भुताः
मित्रैः आवृताः
शीकरं भासते
जलं स्यन्दते
नदी अनन्ता
सदा सर्वदा...

Vibhaagamani

An adaptation of Ilayaraja's "En Iniya Pon" from the film Moodu Pani with fellow Raja enthusiast @mediumcoffee . This project is called "Le Rogeur" and the idea was not to do a literal cover but improvise liberally while still retaining the semblance of the original song. Here we take Raja's original harmony/chord structure & use more jazzy variants. The other improv happens in the interludes, where we start out sounding like the original interlude but wander off into different territories. We hope to do a few more of these under the "Le Rogeur" moniker over the next few weeks. And oh, another thing. For this project, in recognition of the technical challenges of Ilayaraja's golden years (the 80s), we will only use real instruments live-recorded without any software programming.

English translation of the song

What would I do without you, my dear
What my life would have been with out you, I fear

You can read all the thoughts emanating from my mind
The language spoken by my eyes, that too, you understand
When I am down, you stand beside me
As if I were your child, you care for me.

As you caress my hair, you become my mother
In your silly pranks, I see you as my child, none other
In supporting me through everything, you become my friend
In that warm affectionate hug, how I wish, it would never end!
