In fact I did an english translation for this song in poetic form long back to one of the IyerViji madam's thread [I don't remember which]. A superb one, no doubt. -rgs
Here it is, in the Finest Posts thread. Please read my response which is #15, Vaidehi. Mind you, its a rough translation only. Finest Posts - July 2014 Nominations
Hi Vaidehi, Thanks for tagging me . True old songs are awesome and whenever I listen those songs make my heart refresh but I don't listen Tamil songs . I just sharing one of my favorite of Hindi songs from Aandhi. Hope you will like it... Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, toh nahi Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin, zindagi, toh nahi I have no grouse against a life without you But a life without you is hardly a life Kaash aisa ho tere Kadmo se, Chun ke manzil chale aur kahi door kahi Tum agar saath ho, manzilo ki kami toh nahi Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, toh nahi Wish we could tread our journey with your steps Pick our destinations afresh and walk someplace else, far far away When you walk along with me There’s no dearth of places to be And though I have no grouse against a life without you… Jee mein aata hai, tere daaman mein, Sar chupake ham rote rahe, rote rahe Teri bhi aankho mein, aansuo ki nami toh nahi Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, toh nahi All I wish to do is seek refuge in your aanchal And keep crying; keep crying Aren’t those tears too that I detect in the moistness of your eyes – A life without your is hardly any life Tum jo keh do toh aaj ki raat, Chaand doobega nahi, raat ko rok lo Raat ki baat hai, aur zindagi baaki toh nahi Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, toh nahi If you say so the moon will not set tonight Say it – Stop this night It’s just the matter of the night, there inst much left in life without your I have no grouse against a life without you But a life without you is hardly any life.
Thanks Latha for sharing this lovely song! I do listen and like Hindi songs! I like this one too. I don't understand Hindi, but I have listened some songs especially some good old ones. Music is one thing that goes beyond language. Do continue to share your Hindi favourite or Telugu favourite old songs.
@vaidehi71 , you gave the green signal then this thread goes viral with my favorite Telugu and Hindi old songs as you knew most of the Telugu movies remade/dubbed in Tamil and vice versa. One of my all time favorite Telugu movie is " Missamma"... Which was also remade in Tamil with same name ( thanks to Wiki ) but in Telugu hero was Nandamoori Ramarao and heroin was Savithri. In Tamil Gemini Ganeshan and Savithri. both NTR Garu and Savithri look beautiful pair in that movie... I like this song from that movie very much. Ravoi Chandamama maa vinthagadha vinuma.....nice lyric and picturisation....
No worries Latha. I would have watched Missiamma many times. It is a classic movie with lovely songs. Do share your favourites!
