Bungee Jumping cover - Naughty boy ft Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Emeli Sande

This song was released last month and is a beautiful East meets West collaboration.



The lyrics:

I heard Niagara falls has got a bridge and we should take a road trip
We'll take a piece of string and tie it to the end of our shoelaces
Our heads will touch the river and I'm gonna kiss you underwater
And while we're under you gon' tell me 'bout our future sons and daughters

And they say, "Ooh, there's no such thing as magic"
Hey, they say, "Ooh, enough with all this madness"

But I'd rather be scared of something
I'd rather go all or nothing
I'd rather be bungee jumping with you
I'd rather be risking something
I'd rather be really living
I'd rather be bungee jumping with you

They can't stop rolling stones, they pray that one day we gon' learn our lesson
But we can stay 'round here, no we're too young to worry 'bout a pension
They gonna blame the poet lying, try and rip out all the pages
But when they wake up they gon' recognize that we've been gone for ages

And they say, "Ooh, there's no such thing as magic"
And they say, "Ooh, enough with all this madness"

But I'd rather be scared of something
I'd rather go all or nothing
I'd rather be bungee jumping with you
I'd rather be risking something
I'd rather be really living
I'd rather be bungee jumping with you

Oh, you're the breath I need
Rehna tere naal
Oh, you're the breath I need
Rehna tere naal, rehna tere naal
Oh, you're the breath I need
Rehna tere naal, rehna tere naal
Rehna tere naal, rehna tere naal
Ya marjawaan
Ya jivaan (Oh, you're the breath I need)
Mein jivaan

Ya marjawaan
Rehna tere naal, rehna tere naal, rehna tere naal

Kaatrinile Varum Geetham காற்றினிலே வரும் கீதம்

This song is golden. Originally performed by carnatic vocalist, M.S. Subbulakshmi for the Tamil motion picture, Meera in 1945, this song was written by Kalki Krishnamoorthy.

The literal translation of the song title is "music that comes with the wind". The titular character, Meera, describes the flute music with imagery such as the wilted trees come to life when the music is heard.

Lyrics:

Come back home - 컴백홈 - 2NE1 - Kpop acoustic multilingual cover

This is a #OneSongManyLanguages video with the original song being in Korean and English. I swapped some translations of the verses for the original and added a Tamil translation of "Come back home."

The original song is an interesting mix of the EDM, reggae, trap and pop genres.

Unfortunately 2NE1 is disbanded but their music will continue to be heard by many around the world.

The lyrics in my cover.

One two three non narul tona jiman
Odin ga eso noye sumsoriga dulyowa

To dasi four five six palgan nunmuri neryowa
Narul andon noye hyang giga guripda

You  said this was all for me
Like a lie, you coldly turned around
Why? Why? You’re gone away

Come back home
Can you come back home eh~
Chaga un sesang kute nal boriji malgo ne gyoturo

Come back home
Can you come back home eh~
Modun apumun dwiro he yojonhi nol gidaryo iroke
Now you gotta do what you gotta do

veedukku vaaa
Meendum vaa

Thumbi vaa, Sangathil - Ilaiyarajaa - Instrumental Cover

I decided to used two audio inputs while performing the cover to give the sound of two violins.

The original songs were scored by Ilaiyaaraja.

• Thumbi Vaa (Malayalam Movie Olangal)
• Aakasham enatidho (Telugu Movie Nireekshana)
• Sangathil Paadatha kavithai (Tamil Movie Auto raja)
• Neer Veezhchi thee mootudhae (Tamil Movie Kanne Kalaimaane)
• Monday Tho (Hindi Movie Aur Ek Prem Kahani)

The carnatic notes for vilin are enclosed as below. This notes are what I played. It is possible to add other  notes to make the phrases more varied and intricate to make sangathis.

Sk8er boi - "Skater boy" - Avril Lavigne Cover

This song is quite close to my heart as I first performed this song around 10 years ago in secondary school with a bunch of my friends in our music lesson.

As described on the Sk8er boi Wikipedia page on 16 June 2018:

Sk8er Boi" (pronounced "skater boy") is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne, released as the second single from her debut album, Let Go (2002). It was written by Avril Lavigne and The Matrix (Scott Spock, Lauren Christy, and Graham Edwards), and produced by The Matrix. The song is a power pop and pop punk track, which lyrically, tells a story told from the singer's viewpoint about her rocker boyfriend and a girl he knew in high school who rejected him because he was a skateboarder and she was a snob.

The backing track used in this cover was uploaded by ComboJam on YouTube.

The lyrics:

He was a boy
She was a girl
Can I make it any more obvious

He was a punk
She did ballet
What more can I say

He wanted her
She'd never tell 
Secretly she wanted him as well

But all of her friends
Stuck up their nose
They had a problem with his baggy clothes

He was a skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't good enough for her

She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to earth

Five years from now
She sits at home
Feeding the baby she's all alone

She turns on TV
Guess who she sees
Skater boy rockin' up MTV

She calls up her friends
They already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show

She tags along
Stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down

He was a skater boy
She said see you later boy
He wasn't…

Aanadha Yaazhai - ஆனந்த யாழை - Tamil and English Version #OneSongManyLanguages

This cover is dedicated to my nephew Kailash.

This song is from the film Thangameenkal and was originally performed by Sriram Parthasarathy, composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja and written by lyricist Na. Muthukumar.

The orginal song is a father addressing his daughter.

I have modified this song with ada instead of adi to address my nephew.
I have also added a rough translation of the chorus.


(Aananda yaazhai meeddukirai ada
nengil vannam thiddukirai
anbenum kudaiyai needukirai
athilaayiram mazhaithuli koodukirai.

Iru nenjam inainthu pesida ulagil,
paashaigal ethuvum thevaiyillai
siru pullil urangum paniyil theriyum
malaiyin azhago thaangavillai.

unthan kaikal pidithu pokum vazhi
athu pothavillai innum vendumada.

un mugam paarthal thondruthada
vaanathu nilavum sinnatha
megathai marainthu paarkuthada
unnidam vellicham kedkuthada.

athai kaiyil eduthu aaruthal uraithu
veedukku anuppu nallapadi
intha mannil ithupol yaaruminge
enrum vaazhavillai enruthondruthada)


ஆனந்த யாழை மீட்டுகிறாய் அடா
நெஞ்சில் வண்ணம் தீட்டுகிறாய்.
அன்பெனும் குடையை நீட்டுகிறாய்
அதில் ஆயிரம் மழைத்துளி கூட்டுகிறாய்.

இரு நெஞ்சம் இனணந்து பேசிட உலகில்
பாஷைகள் எதுவும் தேவையில்லை.
சிறு பூவில் உறங்கும் பனியில் தெரியும்
மலையின் அழகோ தாங்கவில்ல

உந்தன் கைகள் பிடித்து போகும் வழி
அது போதவில்லை இன்னும் வேண்டுமடா.

உன் முகம் பார்த்தால் தோண்றுதடா
வாணத்து நிலவு சின்னதடா
மேகத்தை மறைந்து பார்க்குதடா
உண்ணிடம் வெளிச்சம் கேட்குதடா

அதை கையில் எடுத்து ஆறுதல் உரைத்து
வீடுக்கு அனுப்பு நல்லபடி
இந்த மண்ணில் இதுபோல் யாருமிங்கே
என்றும் வாழவில்லை என்று தோன்றுதடா


You're strumming the harp of joy,
You're colouring in my heart.
You give me the umbrella of love,
With it the raindrops are united.

For hearts to come and speak together
No languages of the world are needed
In the little grass and the ice
The mountain, the beauty is great.

In the path where I can hold your hand,
It is not enough, I need longer.
On this land it seems like no one else
seems to be living this life.

Udi - Guzaarish - Sunidhi Chauhan - Hindi, English, Tamil Version

Happy World Music Wednesday!

This is the song Udi / Milgayi from the bollywood film Guzaarish which was originally in the Hindi language. It was originally performed by Sunidhi Chauhan and was composed by the music director Sanjay Leela Bansali and the lyrics were written by Turaz. 

I feel like the meaning of this song is quite unique. I've added some rough translations of the chorus and verse into this performance in the English and Tamil languages. I do not speak Hindi so my pronounciation and translation may contain errors. I used lyric websites to obtain English translations and rearranged the words to compile lyrics in English. I then translated the English lyrics to come up with Tamil lyrics.

Hindi
Milgayi Aaj Aasmaan Se
Aagayi Aage Mein Jahaan Se
Yeh kya hya

English
I've melted in the sky today,
I've come far from the world.
What happened?

Hindi
Udi Needein Aankohn Se
Judi Ratein Kwabohn Se
Mudi Yeh Jaane Mein Kahaan.

English
Sleep has flown from my eyes,
Dreaming through the night,
Where am I in my path.

Tamil
Vaanathil Indru karainthene,
Thooramai sendren,
Enna ithu?

Tamil
Urakkam Poividdathu,
Iravil Kananvugal,
Engu paathai theriyavillai.
