Yuvan Shanka Raja Medley 1 - Enthanuyir Thozhiye Kadhal Valarthen Thuli Thuli Thuli Mazhaiyai with Chords

Happy birthday to one of my favourite Tamil film industry music directors, Yuvan Shakar Raja.

I came to really enjoy his music especially in my teen years.

It was difficult to choose my songs for this but hopefully I can share more of his amazing songs with you in the future. You can see how his songs are reaching across various audiences and languages below. I have focussed on covering the Tamil versions as I can replicate the pronunciation well.

Like I'm Gonna Lose You - Carnatic Cover

Happy World Singing Day!

I picked this song as it is about conveying your feelings while you can as many things are not permanent.

You can't see it, but I am playing the ukulele in this video while singing.

The original version:

Singers: Meghan Trainor, John Legend

Songwriters: Meghan Trainor, Justin Weaver, Caitlyn Smith

Producers: Chris Gelbuda Meghan Trainor

Ukulele chords use were transposed: https://ukutabs.com/m/meghan-trainor/like-im-gonna-lose-you-feat-john-legend/?transpose=+1#chords-in-this-song

G                                      Bm
I found myself dreaming. Of silver and gold.
Em                            C
Like a scene from movie. That every broken heart knows.
G                                            Bm
We were walking on moonlight. When you held me close.
Em                                        C
Split second and you disappeared. And then I was all alone.


   G                    G               Bm                     Bm
I woke up in tears with you by my side. Breathe of relief and I realized.
Em           C                
No, we're not promised tomorrow.


             G                       Bm
*So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you.
          Em                        C
I'm gonna hold you, like I'm saying goodbye.
               G                             Bm
Wherever we're standing, I won't take you for granted.
                Em                                 C
Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time.
            G                       Bm
So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you.
            Em                       C       
So I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you*


G                      Bm
In the blink of an eye. Just a whisper of smoke.
Em                              C
You could lose everything. The truth is you never know.
G                           Bm
So I'll kiss you longer baby. Any chance that I get.
Em                                      C
And I'll make the most of the minutes. And love with no regret.


    G                                    G
So let's take the time to say what we want.
Bm                            Bm       
Use what we got before it's all gone.
Em            C                   
No, we're not promised tomorrow.

What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong - World Music Abi Acapella Ukulele

Happy Earth Day! 🌍 (22nd April)

Can you guess the different languages in the song?

Comment to let me know!

In this cover I sang some harmonies and played the ukulele.

Original English Lyrics and Tamil Translation:

I see trees of green, red roses too
[I see them bloom for me and you
Emakkaha malarakanden]
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
[The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
Palgeun nal eudon bam]
And I think to myself what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying [I love you Wo ai ni]

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
[And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Für mich ist die Welt wundervoll]
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world

பச்சை மரங்கள் சிவப்பு ரோஜா
எமக்காக மலரகண்டேன்
இது அருமையான உலகம் என்று நினைக்கின்றேன்

நீல வானம் வெள்ளை மேகம்
பிரகாசமான ஆசீர்வதிக்கப்பட்ட நாள்
இருண்ட புனிதமான இரவ
இதை எல்லாம் நான் கண்டேன
இது அருமையான உலகம் என்று நினைக்கின்றேன்

வானவில்லின் நிறங்கள் வானத்தில் அழகுசேர்க்க
செல்லும் மக்களின் முகங்களில் வண்ணங்கள் தெரிகின்றன
கை குலுக்கும் நண்பர்கள் நலம் விசாரிப்பதை நான் கண்டேன்
ஆனால் "எனக்கு உங்களை மிகவும் பிடிக்கும்" என கருதுகிறார்கள்.

குழந்தைகளின் சிணுகங்களை காதால் கேட்டு
அவர்கள் வளர்வதையும் நான் காண்கிறேன்
இது அருமையான உலகம் என்று நினைக்கின்றேன்

Love Lies - Acoustic - Normani Khalid - World Music Abi

It's been a while since I've uploaded. I really love this song so wanted to record a back to basics ukulele and vocal cover.

This song was written by Khalid, Normani, Jamil Chammas, Ryan Vojtesak and Tayla Parx, with production handled by Charlie Handsome and Digi.

The lyrics:

Sorry if it's hard to catch my vibe, mm-mm

I need a lover to trust, tell me you're on my side

Are you down for the ride?

It's not easy for someone to catch my eye

But I've been waitin' for you for my whole damn life

For my whole lifetime

Don't be afraid to tell me if you ain't with it (you ain't with it)

I see you're focused, yeah you're so independent (independent)

It's hard for me to open up, I'll admit it (I'll admit it)

You've got some shit to say and I'm here to listen

So baby, tell me where your love lies

Waste the day and spend the night

Underneath the sunrise

Show me where your love lies

I've been so into your mystery

Is it because of our history?

Are you into me?

When it feels so good, but it's bad for you

Can't say I don't want it 'cause I know I do

Come on over, I need your company

Cravin' that synergy

Don't be afraid to tell me if you ain't with it (you ain't with it)

I see you're focused, yeah, you're so independent (independent)

It's hard for me to open up, I'll admit it (I'll admit it)

You've got some shit to say and I'm here to listen

So baby, tell me where your love lies

Waste the day and spend the night

Underneath the sunrise

Show me where your love lies

Tell me where your love lies

Waste the day and spend the night

Underneath the sunrise

Show me where your love lies

If you're down, don't hide it

Feelin' me, you don't gotta deny it

Baby, you gon' make me overnight it

Tell me, are you down?

If you're down, don't hide it (yeah)

Feelin' me, you don't gotta deny it (yeah)

Baby, you gon' make me overnight it

Tell me, are you down? (Tell me)

Tell me where your love lies (tell me where your love lies)

Waste the day and spend the night (waste the day, spend the night)

Underneath the sunrise (underneath the sunrise)

Show me where your love lies (tell me where your love lies)

Tell me where your love lies (show me where your love lies)

Waste the day and spend the night (yeah, yeah)

Underneath the sunrise (ooh)

Show me where your love lies
