Kalaiyaan… Kalaiyaan…

Tu leya de meinu golden jhumke..
Main kanna vich paavan chum chum ke (x3)
Mann jaa ve… mainu shopping kara de
Mann jaa ve… romantic picture dikha de
Requestaan paayiaan ve..
Chittiyaan kalaiyaan ve
Oh baby meri chittiyan kalaiyan ve
Chittiyaan kalaiyaan ve
Oh baby meri white kalaiyaan ve (ho..)
Chittiyaan kalaiyaan ve
Oh baby meri teri hisse aayiaan ve (ok ok!)
Chittiyaan kalaiyaan ve
Oh baby meri chittiyan kalaiyan ve.. (ho..) (x2)
(chittiyaan kalaiyan means: white wrists)
Yeah
You’re my darling angel baby
White kalaiyan drives me crazy
Shiney eyes say glitt glitt glittery
You’re the light that makes me go hazy (x2)
Oh mainu chadhiya hai rang rang
Main khwabaan de sang sang aaj ud’di phiran
Main saari raat ud’di phiran
Oh badle jindadi de rang dhang
Meri neendein bhi tang tang, aaj ud’di phiran
Main saari raat ud’di phiran
Mann jaa ve… gulabi chunni diva de
Mann jaa ve… colourful chudi pavaa de
Requestaan paayiaan ve..
Chittiyaan kalaiyaan ve
Oh baby meri chittiyan kalaiyan ve
Chittiyaan kalaiyaan ve
Oh baby meri white kalaiyaan ve (ho..)
Chittiyaan kalaiyaan ve
Oh baby meri teri hisse aayiaan ve (ok ok!)
Chittiyaan kalaiyaan ve
Oh baby meri chittiyan kalaiyan ve.. (ho)
Ghumde phirde saare chitiyaan milgiyan
Chittiyaan kalaaiyan ve (kalaaiyan ve..)
Tere hathaan nu chumda rehnda
Kam tu lai laiyaan, oh chittiyaan ve
(oh chittiyaan ve!)
Mann jaa ve… mainu shopping kara de
Mann jaa ve… romantic picture dikha de
Requestaan paayiaan ve..
Chittiyaan kalaiyaan ve
Oh baby meri chittiyan kalaiyan ve
Chittiyaan kalaiyaan ve
Oh baby meri white kalaiyaan ve (ho..)
Chittiyaan kalaiyaan ve
Oh baby meri teri hisse aayiaan ve (ok ok!)
Chittiyaan kalaiyaan ve
Oh baby meri chittiyan kalaiyan ve.. (ho)

This song is from movie Roy. I found is can be avery interesting study. Because if we listen his song very carefully ew find that in this song nothing is new though we find it very intersting and we enjoyed it. This song is one of the popolar song of the movie Roy. Lets see this song from I A Richard's theory.

Tu leya de meinu golden jhumke..
Main kanna vich paavan chum chum ke

Mann jaa ve… mainu shopping kara de
Mann jaa ve… romantic picture dikha de
Requestaan paayiaan ve..

Mann jaa ve… gulabi chunni diva de
Mann jaa ve… colourful chudi pavaa de

This are some selected wordings from the song. In this wording very basic women desires are reflected. Women's desaire about shopping'earings' dupatta and so on. Here we can compaire it with very famous gujrati song “Chelajiii re... mari satu Patan thi patola mongha lavjo....”

In this Gujrati song a girl similarly asking for Sari like Dupatta.

You’re my darling angel baby
White kalaiyan drives me crazy
Shiney eyes say glitt glitt glittery
You’re the light that makes me go hazy

Now we came to other stanza. This stanza is about paraising the womwn's beauty and her eyes and other. That her eyes are glittering and make carzy a man. This is what exatly we find in one of the Gujrati Gazal the wordings of the Gazal are: Tari aankh no afin. The other example of it is song from movie Dbangga “tere mast mast do nain , mere dil a legye chaine” this all are came from century about praising the women's different body parts.Eyes are by and large very effactive and made palce in poetry.

But notable thing in this song is changing martaphors . How metaphors are changed with time.

Main khwabaan de sang sang aaj ud’di phiran
Main saari raat ud’di phiran

In this lines sapressed women disre are reflected. That she wants freedom,she wants to fly in sky no one stop her.

The problematic thing the song if when we look it from feministic view than we find that this male domonated society think that women wiil be happy if u give tham expenciv gifts and shopping and like silly things but it is not so.

Jab Life Ho Out Of Control, Honto Ko Karke Gol
Honto Ko Karke Gol, Siti Bajaake Bol... (2)
Aal Izz Well

Murgi Ka Jaane Ande Ka Kya Hoga
Are Life Milegi Ya Tave Pe Fry Hoga
Koyi Na Jaane Apana Future Kya Hoga
Hont Ghuma Siti Baja, Siti Bajaake Bol
Bhaiya Aal Izz Well, Are Bhaiya Aal Izz Well
Are Chaachu Aal Izz Well, Are Bhaiya Aal Izz Well

Confusion Hi Confusion Hai Solution Kuchh Pata Nahi
Solution Jo Mile Toh Saala Question Kya Tha Pata Nahi
Dil Jo Tere Baat Baat Pe Ghabraaye
Dil Pe Rakh Ke Haath Use Tu Fusala Le
Dil Idiot Hai Pyaar Se Usako Samajha Le
Hont Ghuma Siti Baja, Siti Bajaake Bol
Bhaiya Aal Izz Well, Are Bhaiya Aal Izz Well
Are Chaachu Aal Izz Well, Are Bhaiya Aal Izz Well

Music : Shantanu Moitra
Lyrics : Swanand Kirkire

This song is from blokbuster hindi movie Three Idiot. This song is very interesting. Because in this song we find the truble of moodern life problems like stdent's wish and hrdwork for good marks and top rank. And comman man's stuggle for survive in this world of technology.

Confusion Hi Confusion Hai Solution Kuchh Pata Nahi
Solution Jo Mile Toh Saala Question Kya Tha Pata Nahi

This lines are proparly express the situaltion of cmman man in this era. That there is many confusion the world and we are constantly struggled to find out the solution but we ourself became confuse in the problrm and when we find the solution there no need of it and ut became meaningless. But in only next line there is solution.

Dil Jo Tere Baat Baat Pe Ghabraaye
Dil Pe Rakh Ke Haath Use Tu Fusala Le
Dil Idiot Hai Pyaar Se Usako Samajha Le

This lines are talking that our heart always wants to see which is not real it likes to be in illusion. So this lines says that let be your heart in illusion and be happy.

Murgi Ka Jaane Ande Ka Kya Hoga
Are Life Milegi Ya Tave Pe Fry Hoga
Koyi Na Jaane Apana Future Kya Hoga
Hont Ghuma Siti Baja, Siti Bajaake Bol

This lines have philisphical tiouch in the funny ways and on very light mood that no one is able to see their future that why we bother oueselves lie be iin present and enjoy the life. This is similarly goes with one Gurati line “ Na jnayu janki nathe su thvanu kale savre”

(4)Saami sanjno Dhol thabukto, jan ughlti mahle

kesariyalo safo ghar nu faliyu lay ne chale”

padar besi fafdi uthati

gharcholani bhat

duske duske hadselati

balpan ni vat

paidu sinchta rasto aakho

kolahalma khunpe

shaishav ni chitreli sheri

sunkar ma dube.

Jan vlavi pacho valto

divdo tharthar kanpe

khadiki pase ubho rhi ne

ajvala ne jhankhe.

Saami sanjno Dhol thabukto, jan ughlti mahle

kesariyalo safo ghar nu faliyu lay ne chale”

This Gujrati is written by Anil Joshi which is now in standared 9^th sayllabus. I find that this song can be a very interesting study for this therory. In this poem feeling of father and a daughter is very well captured by poet. Starting of the poem says that the tome is of noon which is itself symbol of something bad or unwanted. The line is “ Saami sanjno Dhol thabukto, jan ughlti mahle” the second line is “ kesariyalo safo ghar nu faliyu lay ne chale” which means

daughter is go to her in laws home and her father thinking that h light and heart of his home is also goes her with her daughter .

padar besi fafdi uthati

gharcholani bhat

duske duske hadselati

balpan ni vat

The next stanza is about feeling of girl that she recalling her childhood and get i rid of it by her tears.

paidu sinchta rasto aakho

kolahalma khunpe

shaishav ni chitreli sheri

sunkar ma dube.

The next lines are while doing the rituals women are singing a song and in that sound girls childood is goes in to dark.

Jan vlavi pacho valto

divdo tharthar kanpe

khadiki pase ubho rhi ne

ajvala ne jhankhe

The last stanza is teling many thing that after the marraige everybody came to home ant that time evrybody looking for a person whom that thmselve give ferwell.

        I tried to apply I A Richard’s theory in the song “Patakkha Guddi” in High way. Lyrics of this songs given by Irshad Kamil.  In this song many metaphors were, some are appropriate to the story and some are found far-fetched. The most attractive metaphors are:

·         tera mali

·         Maula Hariyali jungle wali

·         jugani

·         Rukh peepal

·         Chakk chakaute javve…

·         Fatte mar di billoari

·              mel mel ke kood,faand ke,

·         Fatte mar di billoari

·              mel mel ke kood,faand ke,

The very first line of the song is…..

Mitthe paan di gillauri

Lathha suit da Lahori

                Fatte maardi billori,

               mel mel ke kood,faand ke,

                 I this line  poet describe a girl hwo is having sweet paan and wearing Lahori suit,having fun.This song is from Bollywood and now Lahor is in Pakistan. So that the first image pope up in our mind is of Pakistani girl.so it can considered as inappropriate.

                              

     The next stanza is…..

Maula tera maali,

O hariyali jungle waali,

tu de har gaali pe taali,

uski kadam kadam rakhwali

 Ainweyi lok laj ki soch soch ke

Kyun he aafat daali

Tu le naam rab ka naam saai ka

Ali Ali Ali Ali

        In this line very old and familier metaphore was used like god is considered as a gardener  and people as their gardene or jungle. Here another Hindi movie song is also recall is title song of the movie Bagban that…

Bago ke har phool ko apna samje bagban

Bagban rab he bangban, bagban rab he bagban

    In this two selected lines again god is considered as gardener and the massage is god will take care of his all the child.

 The other lines are….

Jugani rukh peepal da hoi,

Jis nu pooje ta har koi,

Jisdi fasal kisi na boyi,

Ghar bhi rakh sake na koi…

         In this line comparision of the girl with the tree of peepal , which is worshiped by everyone, yet no one seeded it and also don’t want to put it near their home. To know the reason why people don’t want peepal tree near their home one should know the Hindu myth redarding this peepal tree. According to Hindu mythology ancestor were living in this people tree that’s why everybody worship it but do not seeded it.

    This is my small try to appy I A Richard’s theory with my understanding.
