For Day 2 of #MusicMarch
I’m going to share a song Naina Chaar. (literally four eyes – it’s an idiom that means falling in love or facing each other face to face)

At first listen you might think it’s a romantics song due to its hook & pre chorus, about people struggling in love… But I think it’s open to interpretation.

“Woh jo bin bole baatein mann ki kar lete hain”
Those that talk without speaking about what’s in their heart
“Jhoote kisse bhole ban ke ghardh lete hain”
That spread falsehood while pretending to be innocent

“Haanji maan gaye hum hain khoob bure, ye sughad bhale
Fine I’ll accept I’m very bad & they are the good people
“Ye to ardhiyal hain ji patthar pighlavein, ye na pighlein
These are obstinate people, you can melt a stone but not them
———————————————–
These are just a few sentences talking about people, rumours, etc, but this songs lyrics speak to me.
I couldn’t think of a grand presentation to make, so here is a song that I hold close to my heart because I find it relatable.

The beautiful instruments, the raw voice of Kailash Kher & the melodious tang of Shreya ghoshal is all like cherry on top.

I hope beanies like listening to it even if you can’t understand it 😅[ http://www.bollymeaning.com/2014/01/naina-chaar-lyrics-translation-kailash.html?m=1 ]
