Evergreen Love Songs from Bollywood

I really loved Papon's rendition of this song from Barfi! This is my one shot take of this beautiful song - a humble attempt at an extraordinary song written by Nilesh Mishra and composed by my favorite music director Pritam! 

Kyon Na Hum Tum - BARFI! - by Subho Das

My all time favourite Lata-Kishore duet song written by Majrooh Sultanpuri. "Jodi Tare Nai Chini Go" is the Tagore song (Rabindra Sangeet in Bengali), which inspired SD Burman to compose this splendid melody in 'jhaap taal.' Kishore Kumar & Lata Mangeshkar did an awesome job in rendering this for Amitabh Bachchan and his real-life wife Jaya Bhadhuri who play the dueling musician couple in Hrishikesh Mukherjee's landmark movie 'Abhimaan'. Here's my one shot solo take of this famous duet!

Tere Mere Milan Ki Raina - Abhimaan - SD

This song is one of the best that came about in the two-decade long partnership of the Lakshmikant-Pyaraelal music director duo and Kishore Kumar - the king of playback music of the 1970s. The most memorable and enduring part of Basu Chatterjee's "Piya Ka Ghar" (1972) was perhaps this song of the many moods of life. The film  portrays the difficulties of life in Mumbai of the 1970s in the form of a comic family drama. This song philosophies the verities of life!

Yeh Jeevan Hai - Kishore Kumar - SD

It was a complete pleasure to sing Amitabh Bhattacharya's touching lyrics set to Amit Trivedi's soulful music! This song aptly sums up the climax of Lootera (2013)

Mujhe chhod do mere haal pe
Zinda hoon yaar, kaafi hai!

Hawaaon se jo maanga hissa mera
Toh badle main hawa ne saans di
Akelepan se chhedi jab guftagu
Mere dil ne aawaaz di
Mere haathon, hua jo qissa shuru
Usey poora toh karna hai mujhe
Qabr par mere sar utha ke khadi ho zindagi
Aise marna hai mujhe!

Kuch maangna baaqi nahi
Jitna mila kaafi hai
Zinda hoon yaar, kaafi hai!

Zinda Hoon Yaar Kafi Hai - LOOTERA (SD)

Trial version of Arijit Singh's soulful song "Tose Naina" from the 2013 Bollywood movie "Mickey Virus" starring Manish Paul and Elli Avram with music and lyrics composed by Hanif Shaikh.

Front & Backing Vocals: SUBHO DAS
Music & Lyrics: HANIF SHAIKH
Original Motion Picture: MICKEY VIRUS (2013)
Trail Version Produced by: FAKE TAKE SERIES
------------------------------------------------------------
Is lamhe ko rok du
Ya mai khud ko iss me jhonk du
Kya karun, kya karun, kya karun
Is lamhe mein main kuchh bhi janu na
Naina naina lage...

Tose naina jab se mile
Ban gaye silsile...

O sud-budh khoyi hai khoyi maine
Ha jaan gavayi gavayi hai maine
Ha tujhko basaya hai dhadkan me, sawre...
 
Khud ko khokar tujhko paya
Is tarah se mujhko jeena aaya
Teri lagan me sab hai gavaya
Is tarah se mujhko jeena aaya
Teri hansi meri khushi
Meri khushi tu hi
Tose naina jab se mile...

Tose Naina Jabse Miley - Micky Virus (SD)

Kiska Rasta Dekhe Aye Dil Aye Saudayee
COVER VERSION BY: Subho Das
Movie: Joshilaa | Singer: Kishore Kumar | Music By: R D Burman | Lyricist: Sahir Ludhianvi

Kiska Rasta Dekhe, Aye Dil Aye Saudai
Meelon Hai Khamoshi, Barson Hai Tanhaee
Bhooli Duniya Kabhi Ki, Tujhe Bhi Mujhe Bhi
Phir Kyon Aankh Bhar Aai

Koi Bhi Saaya Nahin Raahon Mein
Koi Bhi Aayega Na Baahon Mein
Tere Liye Mere Liye Koi Nahin Ronewala

Jhoota Bhi Naata Nahin Chaahon Mein
Haaye Tu Hi Kyon Dooba Rahe Aaahon Mein
Koi Kisi Sang Mare Aaisa Nahin Honewala
Koi Nahin Jo Yun Hi Jahan Mein
Baate Peer Parayee 
Ho Kiska Rasta Dekhe 
Aye Dil Aye Saudaai

Tujhe Kya Beeti Hui Raaton Se
Mujhe Kya Khoi Hui Baaton Se
Shej Nahin Chita Sahi
Jo Bhi Mile Sona Hoga O O O
Gai Jo Dori Chooti Haathon Se 
Ho Lena Kya Toote Hue Saathon Se
Khushi Jahan Maangi Toone
Wahin Mujhe Rona Hoga
Na Koi Tera Na Koi Mera 
Phir Kiski Yaad Aai

Kiska Rasta Dekhe 
Aye Dil Aye Saudaai

Kiska Rasta Dekhe (SD)

An all time favorite of the golden SD Burman-Hemant Kumar era of Indian film music, Jaane Woh Kayse is a poignant melody of melancholic emotions. In this classic song, master actor Guru Dutt, singing his heart out, transforms a classy dinner gathering into an awkwardly personal pity party in Pyaasa (1957).
----------------------------------------------------------
Film: Pyaasa (1957)
Actor / Director: Guru Dutt
Music: Sachin Dev Burman
Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianvi
Original Vocalist: Hemant Kumar Mukherjee
-----------------------------------------------------------
Cover version by: Subho Das
Modern music version by: Jagjit Singh 
-----------------------------------------------------------
Background: Pyaasa is no ordinary film. When released to roaring accolades in 1957, Pyaasa broke precedent upon precedent in both impact and style. Notice how every song in this film seems to flow naturally as a consequence of the plot, as if the lyrics of the songs were a poetic continuation of the spoken dialogue? It was a technique pioneered by Guru Dutt that was later emulated by every great director in Bollywood. (Text: http://mrandmrs55.com/)

Jaane woh kaise log the jinke pyar ko pyar mila
Humne to jab kaliyaan maangi kaaton ka haar mila

Khushiyon ki manzil dhoondi to gham ki gard mili
Khushiyon ki manzil dhoondi to gham ki gard mili
Chahat ke nagme chahe to, aahen sard mili
Dil ke bojh ko doona kar gaya, jo gam khaar mila
Humne to jab...

Bichhad gayaa... bichhad gayaa...
Bichhad gayaa har saathi dekar pal do pal ka saath
Kisko fursat hai jo thaame Deewanon ka haath
Humko apna saaya tak, aqsar bezaar mila
Humne to jab...

Isko hi jeena kehte hain to yunhi ji lenge
Uff na karenge lab see lenge aansoo pee lenge
Gham se ab ghabraana kaisa gham sau baar mila
Humne to jab...

Yaa hote hote abhi anjaane mein ho gaya
Jo bhi hua, hua ajeeb
Tujhe chaahun betahasha zehnaseeb

Guncha Koyee Mere Naam Kar Diya - SD

One of my favourite Bengali songs written and composed by the Indian Nobel Laureate poet Rabindranath Tagore in 1914. 

I tried to translate the first stanza of the beautiful lyric and it reads like this:

The cloud says, “I want to leave...” / The night bids adieu / The ocean says, “I’ve met the shores / So, I’m no more…”

Song Name : Megh Boleche Jabo Jabo
Lyricist : Rabindranath Tagore
Taal : Teyora | Raag : Behag

Lyrics in Bengali:

মেঘ বলেছে যাবো যাবো
রাত বলেছে যাই,
সাগর বলে কূল মিলেছে
আমি তো আর নাই,
মেঘ বলেছে যাবো যাবো।

দুঃখ বলে রইনু চুপে
তাঁহার পায়ের চিহ্নরূপে,
আমি বলে মিলাই আমি
আর কিছু না চাই,
মেঘ বলেছে যাব যাব।

ভুবন বলে তোমার তরে
আছে বরণমালা,
গগন বলে তোমার তরে
লক্ষ প্রদীপ জ্বালা,
প্রেম বলে যে যুগে যুগে
তোমার লাগি আছি জেগে,
প্রেম বলে যে যুগে যুগে
তোমার লাগি আছি জেগে,
মরণ বলে আমি তোমার জীবনতরী বাই।
মেঘ বলেছে যাবো যাবো।

Kaise kahein alvida, mehram

Woh raatein woh sehar
Woh sukoon ke pehar
Bhool jaayenge hum bhoole kyun hum magar
Jiye jaao jo tum, jee he jaayenge hum
Yaadon ke zakhm par, zindagi marham

Kaise kahein alvida, mehram
kaise bane ajnabi, humdum

Kaise Kahen Alvida - SD

This melodious song from ‘Manzil' (1979) is composed by RD Burman and written by Yogesh. Sung by Kishore Kumar, this solo song has no match. Picturised on Amitabh Bachchan and Moushumi Chatterjee, this soulful song will invoke romance in you and you will want to take a stroll with your lover and enjoy the drizzle. (Text from Zee News)

This is my favorite monsoon song and one of the best fruits of the Pancham-Kishore partnership in Bollywood music.

Rimjhim gire sawan, sulag sulag jaaye mann
Bhige aaj iss mausam me, lagee kaisee yeh agan
 
 Jab ghunghru see bajatee hain bunde
 Armaan hamare palke na munde
 Kaise dekhe sapne nayan, sulag sulag jaaye mann
 Bhige aaj iss mausam me, lagee kaisee yeh agan
 Rimjhim gire sawan
 
 Mehfil me kaise keh de kisi se
 Dil bandh raha hai kis ajnabee se
 Haye kare abb kya jatan, sulag sulag jaye mann
 Bhige aaj iss mausam me, lagee kaisee yeh agan
 Rimjhim gire sawan

 (Zindagi ke safar men guzar jaate hain jo makaam
 Vo phir nahin aate vo phir nahin aate) - 2
 
 Phul khilate hain log miilate hain - 2
 Magar pattajhad men jo phul murajha jaate hain
 Vo bahaaron ke aane se khilate nahin
 Kuch log ek roj jo bichhad jaate hain
 Vo hazaaron ke aane se milate nahin
 Umr bhar chaahe koi pukaara kare unakaa naam
 Vo phir nahin aate vo phir nahin aate
 
 Aankh dhokha hai kya bharosaa hai - 2
 Suno doston shaq dosti kaa dushman hai
 Apane dil mein ise ghar banaane naa do
 Kal tadapana pade yaad men jeen ki
 Rok lo ruth kar unako jaane naa do
 Baad men pyaar ke chahe bhejo hazaaron salam
 Vo phir nahin aate vo phir nahin aate
 
 Subah aati hai raat jaati hai - 2
 Yunhi waqt chaltaa hi rehata hai rukata nahin
 Ek pal mein ye aage nikal jaata hai
 Aadami theek se dekh paataa nahin
 Aur parde pe manjar badal jaataa hai
 Ek baar chale jaate hain jo din raat subah o shaam
 Vo vo phir nahin aate vo phir nahin aate
 Zindagi ke safar men guzar jaate hain jo makaam
 Vo phir nahin aate vo phir nahin aate

Muskuraauun Kabhii To Lagataa Hai
Jaise Honthon Pe Karz Rakhaa Hai

Zindagii Tere Gam Ne Hamein 
Rishte Naye Samajhaaye
Mile Jo Hamein Dhoop Mein Mile 
Chaanv Ke Thande Saaye

Aaj Agar Bhar Aai Hain
Boondein Baras Jaayengi

LYRICS

Ye raaten, ye mausam, nadi ka kinaara, ye chanchal hava
Kaha do dilon ne, ki  mil kar kabhi na honge, kabhi ham juda

Ye kya baat hai aaj ki chaandani men
Ke ham kho gaye pyaar ki raagini men
Ye baahon men baahen, ye bahaki nigaahen
Lo aane laga zindagi ka maza

Sitaaron ki mahafil ne kar ke ishaara
Kaha ab to saara jahaan hai tumhaara
Muhabbat javaan ho, khula aasamaan ho
Kare koi dil aarazu aur kya...

Yeh Raaten Yeh Mausam - by Subho

MY TRIBUTE TO FRANK SINATRA: "Summer Wind" is best known for a 1966 recording by Frank Sinatra which peaked at #25 on the Billboard pop singles chart and number one on the Easy Listening chart. The Sinatra version originally appeared on his album, "Strangers in the Night."

FULL LYRICS
============================
The summer wind came blowin' in from across the sea
It lingered there, to touch your hair and walk with me
All summer long we sang a song and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts and the summer wind

Like painted kites, those days and nights they went flyin' by
The world was new beneath a blue umbrella sky
Then softer than a piper man, one day it called to you
I lost you, I lost you to the summer wind

The autumn wind, and the winter winds they have come and gone
And still the days, those lonely days, they go on and on
And guess who sighs his lullabies through nights that never end
My fickle friend, the summer wind
The summer wind
Warm summer wind
The summer wind

SUMMER WIND - Frank Sinatra - Reprise by SUBHO

Presenting the second song in my centenary tribute to FRANK SINATRA.

Frank Sinatra's "My Way" is thought to be one of the most covered songs ever written. Its lyrics were written by Paul Anka and set to music based on the French song "Comme d'habitude" composed in 1967 by Claude François and Jacques Revaux.
====================================
FULL LYRICS

And now, the end is near; 
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I'll say it clear, 
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.

I've lived a life that's full.
I've traveled each and every highway; 
And more, much more than this, 
I did it my way.

Regrets, I've had a few; 
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course; 
Each careful step along the byway, 
And more, much more than this, 
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt, 
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall; 
And did it my way.

I've loved, I've laughed and cried.
I've had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside, 
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that; 
And may I say - not in a shy way, 
"Oh no, oh no not me, 
I did it my way".

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels; 
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way! 

Yes, it was my way.


My Way - Frank Sinatra - By SUBHO

Adios amigo, adios my friend
The road we have traveled has come to an end
When two love the same love, one love has to lose
And it's you who she longs for, it's you she will choose

Adios compadre, what must be must be
Remember to name one muchacho for me
I ride to the Rio, where my life I will spend
Adios amigo, adios my friend

Adios compadre, let us shed no tears
May all your mananas bring joy through the years
Away from these memories, my life I must spend
Adios amigo, adios my friend

James Travis "Jim" Reeves (August 20, 1923 – July 31, 1964) was an American country and popular music singer-songwriter. With records charting from the 1950s to the 1980s, he became well known as a practitioner of the Nashville sound (a mixture of older country-style music with elements of popular music). Known as "Gentleman Jim", his songs continued to chart for years after his death. Reeves died in the crash of a private airplane. He is a member of both the Country Music and Texas Country Music Halls of Fame.

Tumhen chhodke ab jeene ko jee to nahin
Tumhen chhodke mar jane ko jee karta hain
Ho tumhare bina jina marna kaya

Tere pyar mein dil jala to jala
Teri saas se jism bhi jal gaya
Tere pyar mein jal ke bhujna kaya

Aankhon ne kahin aur juba ho gayi
Chhoti si kasam daastan ho gayi
Kahete hue daastan rukna kaya

Yeh Vaada Raha

Tu Tu Hai Wohi (Male Solo) - Subho Das

THAT'S LIFE! Perhaps there's no better comeback song than this classic from the #FrankSinatra playlist of 1966. Hope you like my version...

"That's life, that's what people say,
You're riding high in April
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
I say, that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it get me down
'Cause this fine old world it keeps spinnin' around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
A poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life, I tell ya, I can't deny it

I thought of quitting, baby
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
A poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life. And I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come this year July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, my..."

==============================
Tum Bhi Chalo, Hum Bhi Chale Lyrics
Tum bhi chalo, ham bhi chalen, chalati rahe zindagi
Na jmin mnjil na asamaan, zindagi hai zindagi

Pichhe dekhe na, kabhi mud ke raahon men
Jhume mera dil tumhe le ke baanhon men
Dhadkanon ki jubaan, nit kahe daastaan 
Pyaar ki jhilamil chhaanw men palati rahe zindagi

Bahate chalen ham masti ke dhaaron men
Gunje yahi dhun sada dil ke taaron men
Ab ruke na kahin, pyaar ka kaarawaan
Nit ni rut ke rng men dhalati rahe zindagi
