Wayfaring Saigal

A song that I composed, wrote and sang. This is a track version and hopefully I will find a better singer to do justice to it and probably have another stanza too (fingers crossed :P ).

As always, please do leave your comments and if you liked it, show your love by sharing it to your friends and family.

I give below the lyrics, and a rough translation (which I think is right but if there is a mistake, please do tell so that I can correct it. :-))

Headphones or a nice speaker would be best. Laptop speakers suck! :-/

Lyrics:
pon maalai neram
Idhayam avalai azhaikkum

Poo sirikkum neram;
Manamo avalai ninaikkum

Saaral; thoovum; aval sirippil thulaindhu vida thondrum;
raagam; paadum; aval kuralil karaindhu vida thondrum;


Stanza:
---------

Nadhiyin karai manalil,
naan thaniyai..nindren...siru

kuyilgal paadum isaiyil
aval ninaivai.. konden


Maname en maname
avalai ninaithe dhinam vaadidudhe

avalai naan pirindhe
iravum pagalaai indru maaridudhe

hey penne;
nee indri;
Naan; thaviyai thavitthen!


Rough Translation:
-----------------


When the dusk is golden,
(My) heart calls out to her.

When the flower smiles,
(My) mind thinks about her

(I) want to get lost in her drizzle like smile.
(I) want to dissolve myself into her voice which sings raga*

Stanza:
------

On the sand of the river bank,
I stand all alone,

In the music sang by the small koels(cuckoo)
I found her.

Mind, oh my Mind,
withers thinking always of her.

Being away from her,
(My) nights are also becoming days.

Oh my love!
Without you;
I struggle (to live)

A Cello and Violin adaptation of Chammak Challo. There are a total of 5 separately recorded Cello layers and 5 violin. The percussion was programmed using the "Indian and Middle-eastern kit" on Logic Pro X. The raga playing at the start is Thodi but the song meanders into melodic & harmonic minor keys. 

ps: Based on a suggestion by Abhishek Upadhya (https:/twitter.com/_logik)
