Lend your ears, lend your hands,
Lend your movement, anything you can.
Come to teach, come to be taught.
Come in the likeness in the image of God.
Cause, you can be like that.
With all that humbleness, and all that respect.

All of the power invested in me,
be it hard to love my enemies.
All of the black bags over the heads of the dead and dying.

The more I understand about the human race,
the less I comprehend about our purpose and place
and maybe if there was a clearer line
the curiosity would satisfy.

Time based prophecies that kept me from living,
in the moment I am struggling
to trust the divinity of all the guides
and what the hell they have planned for us.

I cry for the creatures who get left behind
but everything will change in a blink of an eye
and if you wish to survive,
you will find the guide inside.

I go back and forth every single day,
the clarity it comes to me in a choppy way,
as the feelings and the places
and the seasons change,
the galaxies remain.

Energy fields pullin’ up out of this space.
The angels that are a couple to the spiritual waste.
The hate that gets me distant from my spiritual pace.
Ten fold the manna when the planets are in place, in polar alignment.
We’re on assignment.
Bodies on consignment.
Return them to the circus.

And what is the purpose?
What is the purpose and would you believe it?
Would you believe it
if you knew what you were for
and how you became so in form?

Bodies of info performing such miracles.
I am a miracle made up of particles
and in this existence,
I’ll stay persistent,
and I’ll make a difference
and I will have lived it.

Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua,
Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana.
Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua,
Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana.

Each day that I wake,
I will praise, I will praise.
Each day that I wake,
I give thanks, I give thanks.
Each day that I wake,
I will praise, I will praise.
Each day that I wake,
I give thanks, I give thanks.

And the day that I don’t wake up
and transcend the holy make-up,
I am capable, I am powerful.
And the day that I don’t wake up
and transcend the holy makeup,
I am on my way to a different place….

I’m not a leader, just a creature,
seeking the features of a teacher.
Whether you follow or whether you lead
All mysterious ways of nature and I’m into it.
Changing management.

And there are various ways to conquer this monotonous metropolis,
my stubbornness is bottomless,
my fearlessness is talking shit
and I’m wide awake and I’m taking names.

I am not a leader, just a creature.
Seeking the features of a teacher.
Whether you follow or whether you lead
All mysterious ways of nature and I’m into it.
I’m into it.
Changing management.

And there are various ways to conquer this monotonous metropolis,
my stubbornness is bottomless,
my fearlessness is talking shit
and I am wide awake.
And I’m taking names.

And there are various ways to conquer this monotonous metropolis,
my stubbornness is bottomless,
my fearlessness is talking shit,
and I’m wide awake and I’m taking names.

Do you speak to me like you speak to God?
All of the love and understanding between the father and the son?
Do you believe in the perfectness of where you are?
These are my people, these are my children,
this is the land that I would fight for.

My solidarity is telling me to patiently
be moving the musical medicine around the planet in a hurry,
Cuz there’s no time to waste.
Got to wake up the people time to stand up and say,
we know what we are for
and how we became so in form.
Bodies of info, performing such miracles.
I am a miracle, made up of particles
and in this existence,
I’ll stay persistent
and I’ll make a difference
and I will have lived it. ……..

Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua,
Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana.
Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua,
Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana.

Each day that I wake,
I will praise, I will praise.
Each day that I wake,
I give thanks, I give thanks.
Each day that I wake,
I will praise, I will praise.
Each day that I wake,
I give thanks, I give thanks.

And the day that I don’t wake up
and transcend the holy make-up,
I am capable, Hm that’s right,
I am powerful.
And the day that I don’t wake up and transcend the holy make-up,
I am on my way to a different place!

Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua,
Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana.
Aloha, Aloha Ke Akua, Ke Akua,
Aloha, Aloha, Kuleana, Kuleana.

This is one of the 3 songs comprising my current playlist which I play in repeat mode – all day long. Mohammad Irfan has done a superb job. His diction and rendition is spot on. The way he emotes in this song makes it a soulful song. The poetry is great, something which has become rare in Indian Bollywood movies. In fact, it was first the similes (ista’aray) in the lyrics, and then Irfan’s rendition that got me hooked on to this song. Ten on ten!

Lyrics: Banjara (Gypsy)

Lyrics: Mithoon

Movie: Ek Villain

Jise zindagi dhoond rahi hai
Kya ye woh maqaam mera hai
Yahaan chain se bas ruk jaaun
Kyun dil ye mujhe kehta hai
Jazbaat naye se milay hain
Jaane kya asar ye hua hai
Ik aas mili phir mujhko
Jo qubool kisi ne kiya hai

Haan kisi shayar ki ghazal
Jo de rooh ko sukoon ke pal
Koi mujhko yun mila hai, jaise banjaray ko ghar
Naye mausam ki sehar, ya sardi mein dopahar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai, jaise banjaray ko ghar

Jaise koi kinara, deta ho sahara
Mujhe woh mila, kisi morr par
Koi raat ka taara, karta ho ujala
Waise hi roshan karay, woh shehar

Dard meray woh bhula hi gaya kuch aisa asar hua,
Jeena mujhe phir say woh sikha raha

Hmm jaise baarish kar de tar, ya marham dard par
Koi mujhko yun mila hai, jaise banjaray ko ghar
Naye mausam ki sehar, ya sardi mein dopahar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai, jaise banjaray ko ghar

Muskaata ye chehra, deta hai jo pehra
Jaane chupata kya dil ka samundar
Auron ko toh har-dum, saaya deta hai,
Woh dhoop mein hai khara khud magar
Chot lagi hai usay phir kyun mehsoos mujhe ho raha
Dil tu bata de kya hai irada tera ?

Main parinda be-sabar, tha ura jo dar-ba-dar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai, jaise banjaray ko ghar
Naye mausam ki sehar, ya sardi mein dopahar
Koi mujhko yun mila hai, jaise banjaray ko ghar

Jaise banjaray ko ghar
Jaise banjaray ko ghar
Jaise banjaray ko ghar

To last night’s full moon.. and a memory from long ago..

Pray to the moon… when it is round
Death with you shall then abound
What you seek… for can’t be found
In sea or sky or underground

Be a king?

Think not.

Why be a king, when you can be a god!

One of my favorite songs sung by Sonu Nigam. Soulful and passionate. He has outdone himself with emoting through this song. Five stars!

The lyrics, the music, and the rendition combine to create an ethereal experience for the listener.
