Man Chandre - A Crazy Heart
Rahman is my lord since i began to understand music. So bear with me if I praise this superlative song a notch higher than it deserves.After i started the blog, i thought somethings missing in the posting section. And yes! the appreciation of the master pieces by music maestros was something that eched me. And so I decide to review my favourite musical idol - A. R. Rahman.
Many times Rahman underplays to his most marvellous tunes he has ever created. And one of it is "Man Chandre" from his album "Connections" (Remember Jiya Se Jiya signatured by Nokia). This song is rich with pain, pain of love, and pain of love lost.
The saga opens with beautiful and peaceful Matka beats (Like Taal). And soon Shraddha Pandit unfolds the lyrics which impulses directly in a second. She sounds mesmerising like never before. Till now you are already in love with song. And then you are completely lost in the unending pain of the heartbroken lover as soon as Sukhwinder Singh renders the same lines. Actually these are the only lines which makes up the lyrics.
Here they go:
Mann chandre nu raas naa aave,
Mann chandre nu raas naa aave,
Naa aave darwaas.
Jiggar daa saudaa kyon kar baithaa?
Mukdi jaandi aas.
Je lut jaandaa te lut jaandaa dil,
Hauke khaa ke chup jaandaa.
Je lut jaandaa te lut jaandaa dil,
Hauke khaa ke chup jaandaa.
Beparvaa daa ki kehna? Haaye!
Naa aave darwaas,
Jiggar daa saudaa kyon kar baithaa?
Mukdi jaandi aas!
Darad sautondaa, Bedardaan nu,
Bedardaa daa ki jaandaa?
Darad sataundaa, Bedardan nu,
Bedardaa daa ki jaandaa?
Bedardaa daa ki jaandaa?
(Thanks To Lyrics By Rahmanism)
The English translation of the lines goes as follows:
Crazy heart neither gets satisfaction nor can afford!
Why it did the deal of heart, now even the hopes are dying!
Once heart is gone, its gone! It hides after crying!
What to say about heartless people, there is no relief!
Pain hurts and heartless have no regret about it!
Crazy heart neither gets satisfaction nor can afford!
Why it did the deal of heart, now even the hopes are dying!
Once heart is gone, its gone! It hides after crying!
What to say about heartless people, there is no relief!
With a small poetry, only efficient composer like A. R. Rahman can manage to create a 8 minute song! And after those eight minutes you feel that the song ended so early!! Rahman uses chorus rarely but when he does that, you fall short from keeping your soul uneffected. Chorus from around 4th minute is my ring tone! And as soon as the song ends, you cant help it and you have to loop it again. I didn't get its meaning at first (thanks to my poor punjabi learned from bollywood songs). And as soon I realised its meaning, i was more in love with song.
So rare are the beads in the musical ocean of bollywood that are not destined to be the part of necklace. But I want such beads in the bag of every fisher man!
