Well, brother
i cudnt stop myself replying..
the lines u have said
> "gaeyaa meree pyaasee rah gayee
> tulasee vaalee vaadee rah gayee
> chuulhaa main jalaatee rah gayee"
In villages, still girl is the one who takes care of the house ..
At the time of marriage, when she is supposed to leave the house, she is not
able to bear the separation..and she is saying..
wat will happen to the cow to whom i used to serve water and food..
i used light a lamp near Tulasi..if im not there i hope it sud not be left in
dark...and after she is gone..who will cook there...
she is kinda missing all these acts and her responsibilities towards her house.
It has a flavour of village..and usually in northindian marriages we do sing
these kinda songs(folk songs)
Though i agree with you that the line "Chalka Chalka re" doesnt have thump of
words like " Yaro Yarodi.."
Even i personally like Tamil Version more than Hindi version..coz of the
naughtiness and flavour..but we cant say that Hindi lyrics were bad..
Tamil Lyrics --- Friends of the bride teasing her on occasion of her marriage
..so it makes it more peppy in singing style..
Hindi Lyrics --- Expression of sad emotions of bride who is going to leave
parents house but still excited and looking forward towards new life..
Flavour is little different brother!!
I belong to extreme north and i dnt understand Tamil much.If there is any thing
wrong in my description am sorry..
but Gulzar is a legend and together ARR - Gulzar Rock!!!
who can forget Dil se....
