Film,"chhaya"(dir:Hrishikesh Mukherjee). the song,"aansoo samajh ke" sung by Talat Mahmood ranks among my most favourite songs of salilda. The song opens with a typical western harmony. the tabla beat is simple. the complexity lies in the tune of the song itself.before that, check the lyrics.Rajinder Kishen came up with some fantastic lines...

aansoo samajh ke kyon mujhe..aankh se tune giraa diyaa..
moti kisee ke pyaar kaa mittee mein kyon milaa diyaa..

jo naa chaman mein khil sakaa,
main woh gareeb phool hoo..
jo kuchh bhi hoon bahaar kee,
chhoti si ek bhool hoon..
jis ne khilaa ke khud mujhe.. khud hee mujhe bhulaa diyaa..

aansoo samajh ke kyon mujhe..

nagma hoon kab magar mujhe..
apne pe koii naaz thaa..
gaayaa gayaa hoon jis pe main..
Toota hua woh saaz thaa..
jis ne sunaa woh hans diyaa, hans ke mujhe rulaa diyaa..

aansoo samajh ke kyon mujhe..

meri khataa maaf hai,
bhoole se aa gayaa yahaan..
warna mujhe bhi hain khabar,
meraa nahii hain yeh jahaan..
doob chalaa thaa neend mein, achchhaa kiyaa jagaa diyaa..

aansoo samajh ke kyon mujhe.....aankh se tune giraa diyaa..
moti kisee ke pyaar kaa mittee mein kyon milaa diyaa..

Thanks a lot Qwest..donot have words to prise the song👏

I dont know if you will be interested in hearing this song, but Salil Choudry's discussion is incomplete without reference to few of the songs he composed in Malayalam.

Kadannikarra .... from the movie Chammeen is one of his finest work.

You can hear it on raaga.com

	Kadalinakkara
Singer(s): KJ. Yesudas
Music: Salil Chowdhury
Album: Chemmeen

This is basically a fisherfolk song... where the man is hailing out to the men who are setting sail to the sea to catch fish.. It asks them what are they bringing back, will they be back soon... they are setting sail in the boat of sandal.. .

And Manna Da sang this song in Malayalam.... and you cant even make out that he is not a Malayali... the pronounciation of the Malayalam words is almost perfect

Manna Dey

Same movie of Chemmeen, music by Salil Choudry

If you will like, I can post the lyrics and translation.... My malayalam is not so good that I can do a good or exact translation, but can manage a decent one.

Its a beautiful song.

sure Priya, that will be a treat. Will love to read translation. Still hearing Manna dey...such great song. Yesudas has always been one of my fav. too

Great post, Swar_Raj. Salil Chowdhury was a great composer. I just love his 'O sajna' and the Bangla version of it 'Naa jeyo na'.

The combination of Salil Chowdhury and Lata Mangeshkar changed the course of modern Bengali song for ever. The song 'na jeo na' became one of the most important and most beautiful Bengali songs in history. Bengalees were thrilled to get Lata singing Bengali songs with practically flawless accent. She became one of them and the wonderful songs Salil composed for Lata during the next three decades still remain possibly the most melodic and lyrical Bengali modern songs.

In 1988 a much awaited Lata LP was released with eight songs. Everybody waited for some new Lata/Salil songs. Unfortunately, it turned out that six out of eight are old Bengali songs re-recorded by Lata, one(#LM39) a Bengali version of that Jesudas classic(DD6) from the Hindi Film 'Dil ka saathi dil' and the only new composition was the song #LM37. What was even more stranger and disappointing is that song #LM36 and #LM33 were previously sung by Sandhya Mukherjee and Sabita Chowdhury respectively with different lyrics See #SM14 and #SC44. Besides this Salil got Lata to record that Hemanta classic 'Runner' which most of the Bengalees could not accept. In short, this LP was a flop. The only satisfaction for Salil lovers were the new arrangements of the songs and one new song. The old Lata and Salil magic was gone for ever.
