Absolutely wonderful and melody filled rendition, Harshanbhai! Awesome?!

This is a melodious song in Ahir Bhairav (or Chakravaakam) which is a Raag known to incite feelings of sympathy and compassion in the listeners. This song has been penned by the lyricist Rafique Ahmed for the 2004 Malayalam movie – Perumazhakkalam (പെരുമഴക്കാലം), meaning the great rainy season. It is basically a women-oriented movie, a tale of pathos that engulfs two women and this song in the movie has powerful and heart-breaking scenes. The movie Perumazhakkalam was adapted to Hindi by Nagesh Kukunoor as Dor.

Both the music score and the original singing are by the awesome M.Jayachandran, who has proved himself to be an outstanding music composer by now.

This is my English translation of this beautiful song:

The great monsoon-spell of distress
When the flight-paths of the night bird digress
The rains with dampness clenched
When the wick of waiting gets drenched
The tearful outpour of the summer’s severance
The monsoon’s rhythm of aquatic adherence
The rain’s searchful perseverance

The reminiscence’s tender fists
Enclasp the body in tight twists
Half way in the wind that snatched
The fingers slowly get detached
May be the murmur of someone dear
A bosom love’s secret into the ear
Some feeling of name unknown
Familiar than the throbbing groan

In the night’s valley of blue deep
The shadows all over fall and creep
At some thoughts’ doorsteps
Soars the sound of footsteps
In the pouring rain, outside the window
Visible is some dream in the lightning’s glow
On the tips of the grass throughout this rain
The fallen drops of water will shine

Hope you will like my modest attempt of this wonderful song.
