He'll have to go & Am I loosing you...

Here are two songs from one of my favourite western singers - Jim Reeves. I love this man's voice. Such sweet and deep voice, I've seldom heard before or would I ever listen to in the future. It's a dream of mine to sit in the veranda of a beach side cottage with a glass of good-red wine and food with him singing in the background! And if there's my significant other by my side sharing the same joy as I do... Ah! It can't get any better!!!

Lyrics - 'He'll have to go...' 

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone,
Lets pretend that we're together all alone,
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low,
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go.

Whisper to me tell me do you love me true,
Or is he holding you the way I do,
Though love is blind make up your mind I've got to know,
Should I hang up or will you tell him he'll have to go.

You cant say the words I want to hear,
While you're with another man,
Do you want me answer yes or no,
Darling I will understand.

Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone,
Lets pretend that we're together all alone,
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low,
And you can tell your friend there with you,
He'll have to go.

Lyrics - 'Am I loosing you...'

Am I losing you,
Are my fears coming true,
How I wish I knew,
Am I losing you.

Is your love really true,
Is there somebody new,
Tell me what to do,
Am I losing you.

Am I too blind to see,
What's been happ'ning to me,
Ev'ry road has a bend,
Will I be sweetheart or friend.

Will the sweet things you do,
Be for somebody new,
Tell me what to do,
Am I losing you.

Am I too blind to see,
What's been happ'ning to me,
Ev'ry road has a bend,
Will I be sweetheart or friend.

Will the sweet things you do,
Be for somebody new,
Tell me what to do,
Am I losing you.

Kalakalam... (Malayalam)

Though this is an old song, I happened to hear it only recently. And what more? I got hooked to this song. There's a rare blend of folk and romantic beat about this song.

My recording is really bad. Please bear with the inconvenience.

Lyrics:



Kalakalm kaayalolangal paadum kathakal
Kalakalm kaayalolangal paadum kathakal
Oru muthu polaam penkidaavin
kuttanaadan penkidaavin
Kathum novin pookkalaay
Narum thechi pookkalaay

Kalakalm kaayalolangal paadum kathakal


Virahini nee vaarkum kannuneer
Kathir maniyaay mannil nilave....
Virahini nee vaarkum kannuneer
Kathir maniyaay mannil nilave....Athu

Alliyambala kadavil... (Malayalam)

Aha! This is one of my most fav. old Malayalam romantic songs. The lines are so simple and the song is so light and without much nuances. The young voice of K. J. Yesudas was so fresh and nice to listen to. I happened to get a karoke of the song and didn't waste much time before I memorised the lines of the song and tried singing it. I enjoyed singing with the simple melody of this song. Tell me what you feel about this one.

Lyrics:

Alliyaambal kadavillinnarakkyu vellam
annu nammal onnayi thuzanjille kothumbu vallam
Nammude nenjilaake anuraaga karikkin vellam
annu nenjilaake anuraaga karikkin vellam

Thaamarappoo nee doore kandumohichu
Appol thaazhe njan neendi chennu poovu pottichu
Pinne thandondinja thaamara njan konduvannappol
Penne ninkavilil kandu mattoru thaamarakkadu
Penne ninkavilil kandu mattoru thaamarakkadu...
(Alliyaambal)

Kaadu poothallo..njaavalkka pazhuthallo

Annu moolippattu paadithanna mulam thathamme
Inneee aalozhinja koottilenthe vannu cherathooo
Inneee aalozhinja koottilenthe vannu cherathooo

Anuraga lola... (Malayalam)

This is one of my all time fav. love songs. This song is from a movie called 'Dhwani' and rendered by K.J. Yesudas and Janaki. The music director is Naushad and hence a Hindustani touch to all the songs in 'Dhwani'.

The lyrics:


Thara ra ra ara ….aa…aa…aa..


(M) Anuraga lola gathri,
Varavayi neela rathri.
(F) Ninavin marandha chashakam,
Nenjil pathanja rathri. (Anuraga... rathri)


(M) Layalasya kala kanthi,
Saghi ninte roopamenthi.
(F) Marante kovil thedi,
Mayamayoora madi,
Maya mayoora madi.
(M)Oli thedi nila pookkal,
Oli thedi nila pookkal,
Veezhunnu ninte kalkkal. (Anuraga... rathri)


(M) Swara heena veenayil nee,
Shruthi meetti manjuvani.
(F) Ee maril mugham cherthu,
Sura lokam onnu theerthu,
Sura lokam onnu therthu.
(M) Uthirunnu mantha mnatham,
Uthirunnu mantha mantham,
Dhyuthi nin mughara bimbam. (Anuraga... rathri)

Minnale nee vandhadhaenadi... (Tamil)

This is a lovely song from the movie 'May Madham' originally rendered by S.P.B to the tunes of A.R. Rehman. I love this song and hence the attempt. This time around, I'm singing with a karoke on the background. I'm using my Sony Ericsson W550i mobile phone to record me-self singing (as always). No proper mixing device has been used. So kindly bear with this amateurish attempt. I've absolutely no idea how this would turn out to be?

So here is a karoke singing sans any mixing device, proper mic set or any kind of filters. Just plain singing along with the tune of A.R.

The lyrics:


Minnalae nee vandhadhaenadi,
En kannilae oru kaayamennadi,
En vaanilae nee maRaindhupoana maayam ennadi,
Sila naligai nee vanthu ponatho,
En vadigai athu venthu ponatho,
Minnalae en vaanam unnai theduthen. (2)


(Minnalae...)


Kan vizhiththu paarththapoadhu kalaindha vannamae,
Un kairaegai ondru mattum ninaivuchchinnamae. (2)
Kadharik kadhari enadhu ullam udaindhu poanadhae,
Ingu sidharippoana sillil ellaam unadhu bimbamae.
Kanneeril theevalarththu kaaththirukkiraen,
Un kaaladiththadaththil naan pooththirukkiraen.


(Minnalae...)


Paalmazhaikku kaaththirukkum boomi illaiyaa,
Oru pandigaikku kaaththirukkum saami illaiyaa. (2)
Vaarththai vara kaaththirukkum kavign illaiyaa,
Naan kaaththirundhaal kaadhal innum meeLumillaiyaa.
Kanneeril theevalarththu kaaththirukkiraen,
Un kaaladiththadaththil naan pooththirukkiraen.

Thank you Joanne May for introducing me to this fabulous singer and also for introducing me to Celtic music. It's been a long time since I heard anything so deep and intense. Listening to Loreena voice was like listening to the song of a ghost from a far away dessert. Such magical haunting she creates with her voice! And the composition of that song took me to a trance! I would've listened to it at least 20 times by now. And even when I'm not listening to it, the sound of the violin, the accordion and Loreena's voice keep ringing in my head!

This is but a humble try at singing that song. And guess what? I couldn't sing it without trying to imitate the background score of this fabulous piece of music. Hope none finds it too wired that I had to create the music with nothing but my own voice.

And a word of apology to Joanne May if she feels that I've so cold heartedly murdered her favourite musical piece. But I was helpless Joanne. I couldn't help but sing this out to a crowd and see how much I faired! It was so inspiring!

The lyrics:

When in the springtime of the year
When the trees are crowned with leaves
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
Are dressed in ribbons fair


When owls call the breathless moon
In the blue veil of the night
The shadows of the trees appear
Amidst the lantern light 


We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay 


Who will go down to those shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year 


The songs of the birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days 


We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay 


And so they linked their hands and danced
Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone 


"A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of Our Lord's hand" 


We've been rambling all the night
And some time of this day
Now returning back again
we bring a garland gay (2)

Varamanjaladiya... (Malayalam)

This is the end of a very happening hectic day. I stumbled upon this song as I was browsing the net for some good music while I was working on my assignments. And I had to stop and sing this to you 'coz this is another one of my very very fav. songs in Malayalam. This song sung by Sujatha is from the movie 'Pranaya Varnangal' composed by Vidyasagar.

The lyrics:

Varamanjalaadiya raavinte maaril oru manju thulliyurangi
Nimi neramenthino thengi nilaavil virahamennalum mayangi
Pularithan chumbana kungumamalle rithu nandiniyaakki
Avale pani neer malaraakki…. (varamanjal)


Kili vannu konchiya jaalakavaathil kaliyaay chaariyathaare
Mudiyizha kothiya kaattin mozhiyil madhuvaay maariyathaare
Avalude mizhiyil karimazhiyaale ninavukalezhuthiyathaare
Kanvukalezhuthiyathare, avale tharalithayaakkiyathaare (varamanjal)


Mizhi peythu thornnoru saayanthanathil mazhayaay chaariyathaare
Dhala marmmaram nertha chillakalkkullil kuyilaay maariyathaare
Avalude kavilil thuduviralaale kavithakalezhuthiyathaare
Mukulithayakiyathare, avale pranayiniyaakiyathaare…. (varamanjal)
