Tere Bina

22 02 2007

Tere bina beswaadi
beswaadi ratiyaan, oh sajna
Rookhi re oh rookhi re,
Kaatore kaate katena

… Tere bina chaand ka sona khota re
Peeli peeli dhool udaawe jhoota re
Tere bina sona peetal
Tere sang keekar peepal
Aaja katena ratiyaan

Sigh. [Late reaction I know, I just fell in love with this song from Guru.] I’m not going to try to translate it. Sorry. Hindi speakers welcome to do it for me though. And I might take off the video soon so watch it while it’s on… if you want. It’s the song from the movie I love the colours and choreography and singing. This song is about a married couple living apart missing each other and imagining this sequence. In the end, the husband comes to take his wife back (stepping out of the imaginary song into real movie life). The best part of this video is the end.

I think Abhishek is a fantastic actor. Ash is pretty. AR Rahman is a genius agreed :-)

Btw I just tried to play the video from mum’s computer and it gave me a totally weird video which has nothing to do with the movie or music or what I’ve written about. But from my own ID I get the right video. What’s that about? What does everyone else see?? lol

I absolutely love this song!!! I just saw the movie a couple of days back! i thought it was ok. Abishek was really good in it and Ash was *surprisingly* good.. What a change from all the skimpy clothes and songs in night clubs! :D

-Enit

p.s- Uh.. there is something wrong with the video.. It only plays for about 2 seconds.. Im sure you’ll figure out a way to fix it!

I love how feminine women are and how the men are men.

I’m a humongous believer in old school romance. The ability to love and to feel love is one of the biggest blessings God has given us. Big ups to you for this song and the video.

believer786 (11:40:12) :

I actually watched the video after leaving my first comment. It is a beautiful song - soft, melodic, serene, poetry in motion. The song is so beautiful that even my little parakeet starting singing! And he is just a baby, he *never* sings! Animals recognize beauty too when they hear it.

I could not get this song out of my head all night!!!
I was still singing it when I woke up! What a song…

aMmAr (12:32:07) :

i see Abhishek overacting on any screen, in every film… hes the most overrated actor of his generation.

23 02 2007
believer786 (12:54:51) :

Ammar,

Are you secretly wishing it was you in that video instead of Abhishek? hehe. I could care less for Abhishek myself. He certainly doesn’t do any justice to the living legend - Amitabh.

DulceDiana (20:43:37) :

It sounds like a real sweet song…..even thought i don’t know what it means it still a ‘catchy’ tune! hehe.. hugs

@ Amitabh

Hey Christine I’m glad this worked for you. I’ve been listening to this song a lot since yesterday! It’s playing right now (audio not video) :-)

Mark, I SO agree with you! Isn’t it beautiful how everyone is who they should be? You should watch this movie, it’s not perfect in every way but it’s pretty nicely done. I love the way the marriage of these two worked in the movie. Movie is in Hindi, called Guru, based on a real guy even though the movie makers deny it. lol

Ammar, Abhishek is very cool you’re just jealous. lol
About Aishwarya I have only liked her in this movie, I thought she was pretty close to perfect in this movie. You seen the movie? :-)

Believer786- Thanks for the trackback and for the comments :-) how cute that you have a baby parakeet!!! I’m usually a mammal-person but I love birds and especially baby birds are so cute. What colour is it?

Diana, thanks for watching the video! I love the tune too :-) the words are so beautiful but I’m scared to translate them for you, I know I will muck up the beauty of it. If I ever find a good translation I will let you know. The main message is that both miss each other and want each other to come back, they say everything is tasteless and robbed of its beauty when the other is not around. The verses I quoted seriously reminded me of Jesus. Sigh I love this song.

I found a blog that kind of translates this song for whoever was interested. I still maintain that such songs cannot really be translated and would have to understood in hindi. But the english translation will give you a clue at least.

Also RED, I have 3 parakeets, green, blue and the new one is yellow. My green is the best - I can hold him, give him tiny hugs, lay him on his back and tickle his tiny belly. He even sits on my shoulder as I shower because he loves to take in the spray of water that hits my shoulders. He sings all the time he is in the shower with me. God’s creation after all, beautiful. Oh and did I mention, the green one *loves* human food especially biryani. If I am having biryani he comes running to me and almost pushes me away so that he can have at it.

“I love how feminine women are and how the men are men.”

I just spit milk out, laughing. That is a good point.

R-E-D (14:22:53) :

Believer, that’s so cool about your parakeets. God’s creatures are beautiful!
Thanks for the english translation :-) its not beautiful and poetic like the hindi version but it conveys the meaning well enough I guess.

Christine I’m in love with this song more everyday it feels like. lol
jesusconverse thanks for reading and commenting :-)

I love this song too. I liked Abhi and Ash in this film. I repeat I liked ASh, for the first time she looked real. She looks nice in Indian dresses. The rain song Tana re tana re is also very good.

This is truly a song which can touch the heart of millions of people and can ignite the feelings of LOVE

tere bin, main yun kaise jiya, kaise jiya tere bin
without you, how did I live, how did I live without you

tere bin, main yun kaise jiya, kaise jiya tere bin
without you, how did I live, how did I live without you

lekar yaadein teri, raatein meri kati
with memories of you, I passed my nights

lekar yaadein teri, raatein meri kati
with memories of you, I passed my nights

mujhse baatein teri, karti hain chandni
the moonlights is talking to me of you

tanha hai, tujh bin raatein meri
the moonlights is talking to me of you

din mere, din ke jaise nahi
my days, are not like days

tanha badan, tanha hai ruh
lonely body, lonely is my soul

nam meri aankhen rahe
nor have my eyes remained

aaja mere ab rubaroo
come back now

jeena nahi bin tere
don’t want to live without you

tere bin, main yun kaise jiya, kaise jiya tere bin
without you, how did I live, how did I live without you

tere bin, main yun kaise jiya, kaise jiya tere bin
without you, how did I live, how did I live without you

kab se aankhen meri, raah main tere bichhi
for so long my eyes have been watching your path

kab se aankhen meri, raah main tere bichhi
for so long my eyes have been watching your street/way

bhule se hi kabhi, tu mil jayen kahin
by mistake, meet me somewhere

bhule na, mujhse baatein teri
I can’t forget, your words

bheegi hai, har pal aankhen meri
they are wet, every moment my eyes

kyun saans loon, kyun main jiyun, jeena bura sa lage
how do I breathe, how do I live, living feels bad

kyun ho gaya tu bewafa, mujhko bata de wajah
why did you become faithless, tell me the reason

tere bin, main yun kaise jiya, kaise jiya tere bin
without you, how did I live, how did I live without you the life is difficult right ?
