Rang Zinda Hain

Raghu - Dixit - Jagchanga - Rain - Song

Parasiva is the invisible form of Lord Shiva. But the song claims to have seen Parasiva, and that is because of angels around us who in their own little way help us and make a huge difference to our lives but doing seemingly little and insignificant things.

This is an experiment that started out after I heard this song as part of a "Coke Studio" jam in the second season of the show. The introduction to the song has one of the most beautiful solo's I've heard. I just wanted to re-interpret that feeling in my own way.

'Pyaasi' is from Swarathma's debut album released on EMI Virgin India in Jan 2009. This version features the inimitable Shubha Mudgal, special guest on vocals. The song tells the story of a river, whose waters have been disputed for years. The song was featured in a music video by Global Water Challenge to highlight water woes that the world faces.

Written by Vasu Dixit/Hitesh Kewalya, Composed by Swarathma
Translated by Shreya Dasgupta

A river, a thirsty river, leave me be
Your thirst I quenched, now what of me?
Tied in twists, no longer running free
Tears are all that’s left of me
I was happy being water, why the insanity?
From whence do I come, whither do I go?
Of your language and your barriers, what do I know?
What being was it that poisoned your minds…
Erased human thoughts, left puppets behind?
Return O rain-cloud, from whence you came
Alas the mighty ocean shall never know my name
You still think I am holy? Dead souls I can save?
Begone with your ashes, give me the peace I crave
A river, a thirsty river, leave me be
I was happy being water, why your insanity?

Bob Marley - Buffalo Solider

Yeshu, Allah aur Krishna was originally released as part of Soundpad, a British Council Initiative showcasing up and coming Indian bands. It is a view of the world today, seen through the eyes of 14th century mystic poet Kabir, who sang of religious harmony. His messages find resonance today, more than at any time in the past.

Lyrics and Translation:

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem 
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Ba darwazae tajh Quran jayee sanam janem 
Your being borders on the divine, my love

(repeat 1 & 2)

Kassi harfe dil-e maa ra nadaanist 
What I feel for you, no one is privy to it 

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem 
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Bahaaie mahafel-e maa ra nadaanist 
No one can fathom the depths or value this love

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem 
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Ba joz tofaan kassi dar shahr-e-ghurbat 
The wild storms crashing down on strange, distant cities

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem 
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Nishaan-e mahafel-e maa ra nadaanist 
Only they know the true worth of our love

(repeat 1 & 2)

Na mekhawahm ke be taabat bebinom 
Not ever would I want you to be sad

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem 
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Dilam khwahad ke shadaab att bebinam, 
All I ever need is that you be happy and content

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem 
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Nadeedam man ba bedaari rukhat ra 
Even if all the flowers in the world wilt and wither away

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem 
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Magar hamchu pari khwaabat bebinom 
That love I have for you in my heart will not fade

(repeat 1 & 2)

Dil-e-naazok tar az andisha darum 
What my heart feels is far mellower than my thoughts

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem 
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Hawaie mottadel chun re sha darum 
There will never be a moment when I won’t yearn for you

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem 
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Hama gul hai-e aalaam barge-e-khoshkad 
Bibi, believe me, your love is deeply rooted in my heart

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Tu dar baagh-e-kheialem reesha dary 
Even if all the flowers in the world wither….

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem
Ba darwazae tajh quran jayee sanam janem
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan
And your being borders on the divine…

(repeat 1 &2)
