Lyrics of Saibo from Shor In The City (with English Translation)

Here are the lyrics of the song I mentioned about in my previous post. Please feel free to complete the '?' parts of the translation and any other corrections that you can notice. Translation attempted by Dhruv.


Mann yeh sahib ji
This heart, Sir

Jane hai sab ji
Knows everything

Phir bhi banaye bahane
Yet makes up excuses

Naina nawabi ji

These eyes, O King (?)
Dekhe hai sab ji

See everything
Phir bhi na samjhe ishare
Yet don't understand gestures

Mann yeh sahib ji
This heart, Sir

Haan karta bahane
Makes excuses

Naina nawabi ji

These eyes
Na samjhe ishare
Don't understand gestures

Samjhe ishare dheere dheere

[It will] understand those gestures gradually

Naino ko dheere dheere

Those eyes, gently
Jiya ko dheere dheere

That body, gently
Bhaayo re saibo

bhaayo(?) O madam..

Dheere dheere

Over time (gradually)..
Begana dheere dheere

Loved ones, over time 

Apna sa dheere dheere
Like us, over time

Lage re saibo
they ___?    , Madam..

Surkhiyan hai hawaon mein

The news is in the air
Do dilon ke milne ki

About the union of two hearts
Ha haan arziya hai nazaron mein

Yes, there are yearnings in those glances
Lamha yeh tham jane ki
This is the moment to stop

O kaise hazuri ji
Oh  what hazuri(?)

Yeh lab dikhaye

that this moment shows
Chupi laga ke bhi

________________
Gazab hai yeh dhaaye

Deep is this dhaaye(?)

Song of the day - Saibo from Shor (In the City)

I'm totally in love with this soft rockish melody. Thanks to Dhruv for sharing it with me. It is composed by the duo - Sachin and Jigar. Shreya Ghosal and Tochi Raina create pure awesomeness with their vocals. Both these singers usually exceed our expectations, be it any genre and this one is no exception. The remix remains quite ordinary though. You can listen to the song here - Saibo.

Vintunnava by Shreya Ghosal

I want to make a mention about the song 'Vintunnava' from the movie 'Ye Maaya Chesavo' (Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya in Tamil). I never really bothered to listen to it in Tamil (since the Tamil album was out first). Actually not in Telugu too until I had to listen to the whole song once and I did not have an opportunity to skip the song in winamp ( I was cooking some complicated stuff, couldn't deviate in between :P).


So, once I heard the complete song, I really liked it. Shreya Ghosal's rendering is just too perfect in it. Karthik's vocals complemented hers very well in Telugu. He should have sung in Tamil too. I am not a very big fan of AR Rahman's vocals. To me it sounds good in only few songs ( like in Newyork Nagaram, Khwaja Mere Khwaja ..and few more..can't remember them all now..) Anyway, so this is one song which is on my winamp these days. My dear ARR fans out there, do listen to it if you still haven't (which is highly improbable :) )

You can listen to the Telugu version here : Vintunnava

and to the Tamil version here : Mannipaya
