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

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…

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.
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.

Thirupugal is a form of devotional music that was originally composed by Arunagirinathar in the 15th Century.
The thirupugal, Muthai Tharu is in praise of Lord Murugan (a Hindu deity) and confers to Pannisai. It is in the carnatic ragam Shanmugapriya and Misra Chapu talam.
In this video, I'm using a Shruthi box for the drone that repeats three notes.
I also play the carnatic violin here. This instrument is played by resting the scroll between the heel and ankle.
So HAPPY that this collaboration happened. Thanks to the talented Emma Claffey! This song, Unwritten by Natasha Beddingfield has such beautiful lyrics and is a throwback classic. We hope you enjoy it.
The lyrics:
I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten
<Carnatic interlude>
I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you Open up the dirty window Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance So close you can almost taste it Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin No one else can feel it for you Only you can let it in No one else, no one else Can speak the words on your lips Drench yourself in words unspoken Live your life with arms wide open Today is where your book begins The rest is still unwritten

This is a Tamil song featured in the Tamil film, Sillunu Oru Kaadhal. The original is so beautiful so I thought I would add some rough translations of the song to produce a bilingual cover of it.
This performance was in English and German. These songs are so upbeat, and difficult to get out of my head! :)
The backing track used in this video was sourced from YouTube.
Answerphone is by Ella Eyre, Young Bxne and Banx and Ranx. Traum is by CRO.
Lyrics in video:
I've been talking to your answerphone, na na
Something tell me you don't want to know, na na
When I call you, you don't answer phone, na na
You don't love me, you should let me know, na na
I got a feeling
I'm over thinking 'bout thinking you're thinking of leaving
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
But real talk, I need some honesty
Honestly, you better speak up
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
Days and nights, I lie beside my phone
When you gonna let me know?
When you gonna let me know?
All I hear is, "please leave your message after the tone"
When you gonna let me know?
I've been talking to your answerphone, na na
Something tell me you don't want to know, na na
When I call you, you don't answer phone, na na
You don't love me, you should let me know, na na
Let me know, na na
Carnatic interlude
Baby nimm' meine Hand
Ich hab alles schon gepackt, komm wir beide gehen weg von hier
Sieh der Jet ist getankt, ich hab Geld auf der Bank
Und noch jede Menge Plätze hier
Und immer wenn Du einsam bist
Komm' ich rum' Du musst nie wieder alleine sein
Denn immer wenn ich Dich seh', macht es in mir tick tick boom so wie Dynamite
Aha, und alle anderen Girls, wären gern wie du
Aha, Denn du bist wunderschön, und gefährlich klug
Ey jo! Und ich hoff' dass du mich siehst
Ich bin verliebt, und hab kein' Plan ob es dich gibt
Doch manchmal träum' ich nur von Dir
Bitte sag was muss ich tun dass Du mich hörst
(Dass du mich hörst, dass du mich hörst)
Denn ich wär heut so gern bei dir
Und ich glaub ich fänd es cool wenn du mir gehörst
(Wenn du mir gehörst)
Ich fühl mich so allein, weiß nicht obs dich gibt
Und egal wie laut ich schrei sie hört mich nicht
Doch sie ist grade irgendwo und denkt vielleicht an mich
Hey Baby bitte schreib wenn es dich gibt
Days and nights, I lie beside my phone
When you gonna let me know?
When you gonna let me know?
All I hear is, "please leave your message after the tone"
When you gonna let me know?
I've been talking to your answerphone, na na
Something tell me you don't want to know, na na
When I call you, you don't answer phone, na na
You don't love me, you should let me know, na na
Let me know, na na
