Ah…
Even the moon shies away from your charms,
Your face is the most marvellous…
Ah I swear by these eyes full of love…
Ah I swear by these eyes full of love,
What’s a man, even angels will get tempted,
Your face is the most marvellous…
You have fragranced the garden of my life,
Your face is the most marvellous…
If you smile then the spring is here…
If you smile then the spring is here,
Flowers blossomed wherever you let your shadow fall,
Flowers blossomed wherever you let your shadow fall…
You've fragranced the garden of my life,
What’s a man, even angels will get tempted…
Translated roughly from a retro Bollywood song named
"Husn Se Chaand Bhi Sharmaayaa Hai"
Sung By: Mohammad Rafi
(My favourite singer and undoubtedly India's evergreen singer.)
He was born on December 24, 1924 but, unluckily, he passed away on July 31, 1980 at just the age of 55 years; if only I had the opportunity of meeting him and learning the nuances of singing from his live self instead of taking lessons from his best songs.
If you want to listen to him singing in English, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA47_TeYrUs
or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLaol19qaig and be amazed how a man from a small village near Amritsar could sing so well.
He was a perfect embodiment of the Indian idol for music.
