Ae ajnabi...

I have kept some songs close to heart and would spill over this blog only when i suffer the same feelings.

The song" Ae Ajnabi" from" Dil Se" by Udit Narayan, is the song of the day.The beginning- pakhi pakhi pardesi by honey dipped voice of the Mahalakshmi Iyer gives it a perfect initiation.

I think its best of the Udit Narayan and best play back music by A. R. Rahman too. All songs of the Dil Se deserve the appreciation but this song is rare in the sense of subject it is.dealing - lovers; living in separation..Hats off you ! Gulzar sahib for touchy lyrics.

I don't know why, but this song reminds me Great American Opera- George Gershwin's- Porgy and Bess. I think this song can fit in the story , if ever Hindi version would be made.

pakhi pakhi pardeshi means-

The visitor from a distant country, you are like a bird.

Ho paakhi paakhi pardesi

Paakhi paakhi pardesi-4

Paakhi paakhi pardesi-2

Aye ajnabi tu bhi kabhi aawaaz de kahin se-2

Main yahan tukdon mein jee raha hoon-2

Tu kahin tukdone mein jeen rahi hai

Aye ajnabi tu bhi kabhi aawaaz de kahin se-2

Roz roz resham si hawa aate jaate kehti hai bata

Resham si hawa kehti hai bata

Vo jo doodh dhuli masoom kali

Vo hai kahan kahan hai

Vo roshni kahan hai vo jaansi kahan hai

Main adhoora tu adhoori jee rahein hain

Paakhi paakhi pardesi-4

Aye ajnabi tu bhi kabhi aawaaz de kahin se-2

Main yahan tukdon mein jee raha hoon-2

Tu kahin tukdone mein jeen rahi hai

Aye ajnabi tu bhi kabhi aawaaz de kahin se

Tu tou nahin hai lekin teri muskurahatein hain

Chehra nahin hai par teri aahatein hain

Tu hai kahan kahan hai

Tera nishaan kahan hai

Mera jahan kahan hai

Main adhoora tu adhoori jee rahein hain

Aye ajnabi tu bhi kabhi aawaaz de kahin se-2

Main yahan tukdon mein jee raha hoon-2

Tu kahin tukdone mein jeen rahi hai

Aye ajnabi tu bhi kabhi aawaaz de kahin se

Aye ajnabi tu bhi kabhi aawaaz de kahin se.
