Music, when the lyrics describe some purposeful emotion or thought. These posts are in a mix of English/Hindi or English/Kannada pairs. With the advent of Google's transliteration, it is unnecessary to have inconsistent and misleading hand-crafted English transliterations of originals, for Hindi and Kannada in this blog's case. [If a transliteration is required, it can always be produced by software]. Hindustani ragas are shown in Devanagari, e.g., ♫देश; Carnatic, in Kannada, e.g., ♫ಖರಹರಪ್ರಿಯ.

अभी, मुझ में कहीं, बाकी थोड़ी सी है ज़िंदगी
The poet describes three occasions, or three moments, that highlight
- The tenacity — लगन — that the human mind capable of
- The compassion — रहम — that can exist in this world
- The prick, i.e., pain, — चुभन — that can be experienced when an attraction lights up in an otherwise desolate life
Whether I should feel a little happiness, or sadnessWonderful music using the violin. Very moving.
Whether I should die or live [a little].

ಅವರಿವರಾ ಜೊತೆ ಸೇರದೇ, ಅವರಿವರಾ ನುಡಿ ಕೇಳದೇ
The song is about lovers' romantic overture to each other, although one line in the lyrics is somewhat baffling: ನನ್ನನ್ನಷ್ಟೇ ... ಸಾಯೋ ಹಾಗೆ ನೀನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಸು1. The male lover exhorts the female "to love only him ... so as to make him -- her? -- feel dead." I wonder what the lyricists had in mind. This song is penned by two lyricists: Shashank Raj and Yogaraj Bhat.
As usual in Indian movies these days, this is a dream sequence that escapes from the main story line; nevertheless, there is a certain believable aspect to it.
Why I did I have to write a blog post on this song? Sonu Nigam is the male singer, of course, and the musical interludes are quite pleasant to listen to.

ಏನಾಗಲೀ ಮುಂದೆ ಸಾಗು ನೀ
I have not seen this movie yet, but one of my friends has liked it. Sounds rather sentimental ... admonishes a certain philosophy of life, it seems like. I have reconstructed the lyrics by listening to the music videos: there is another piece in addition to the one in the video button.

तुम को पाया है तो जैसे खोया हूँ ... मैं अगर कहूं ...

ಮಾಯವಾಗಿದೆ ಮನಸು ಹಾಗೇ ಸುಮ್ಮನೇ
There is a certain simplicity I see in Kannada music that I don't always see in Hindi music; that may be because I am a native Kannada speaker. Example:
Sources:
ಮೋಹದಲ್ಲಿ ಬೀಳುವಾ, ಮಧುರವಾದ ಭಾವನೇ ...Simple, yet rhythmic. ನೀಡದೇ ಸೂಚನೇ, translated "without advance notice", is the interesting part. Perhaps the rhythm creation is a joint work of Mano Murthy, the music director, and Jayant Kaikini, the lyricist.
ಈಗ ತಾನೆ ಬಂದಿದೇ, ನೀಡದೇ ಸೂಚನೇ.

... हैं गुज़ारिश ...
[Note. Notation for humming needs to be added.]
You have to see the movie to appreciate the context for the song, but suffice it to say that the lyricist, Prasoon Joshi, has deftly described the tumult in a man's heart as he awaits a 'yes' from his lover.
The meanings presented here are based on those provided by another blogger, The Bollywood Fan. (Netizens are welcome to comment on the meanings and, in fact, on the lyrics too). There are several music videos on YouTube, and one is here.
Another rendering by Soumen Nandi of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa 2009.
Google Hindi-to-English Translator translates गुज़ारिश as 'request'.

कभी अलविदा ना कहना -
The first few lines of this song are very perceptive of the lyricist in bringing out the feelings that may exist in the former lovers of a separation, or divorce, that is about to happen.

ನಿನ್ನಿಂದಲೇ ... "ಮಿಲನ" ಚಿತ್ರದಿಂದ.
ಇದು ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ಗೀತೆ — 4:13 ನಿಮಿಷ ಉದ್ದ — ಮನೋ ಮೂರ್ತಿ ಸಂಗೀತ ಮತ್ತು ಸೋನು ನಿಗಮ್ ಹಾಡುಗೆ, ಮಿಲನ ಚಿತ್ರದಿಂದ [CR, IE]:
ಈ ಕೆಳಗೆ karaoke ಹಾಡು — 4:54 ನಿಮಿಷ ಉದ್ದ — ಕೇಳಬಹುದು [IE]:
ಕೆಳಗಿರುವ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯವನ್ನು ಮೇಲಿರುವ karaoke ಧ್ವನಿಗೆ ಅಳವಡಿಸಲು ಪ್ರಯತ್ನಪಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇನೆ:

ಅನಿಸುತಿದೆ ಯಾಕೋ ಇಂದು
ಈಗ್ಗೆ ಕೆಲವು ದಿವಸಗಳ ಹಿಂದೆ ಈ 'ಮುಂಗಾರು ಮಳೆ' ಚಿತ್ರದ ಹಾಡಿನ ಇರುವಿಕೆ ನನಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಾಯಿತು. ಈ ಹಾಡನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿ ಅದರ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯವನ್ನು ಬರೆದಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಇದನ್ನು ಓದಿ ಸಂತೋಷಪಡಿ.ಗಂಡಸಿನ ಧ್ವನಿಯನ್ನು ನೀಲಿ ಬಣ್ಣದಲ್ಲೂಹೆಂಗಸಿನ ಧ್ವನಿಯನ್ನು ಕೆಂಪು ಬಣ್ಣದಲ್ಲೂ ಪ್ರಕಟಿಸಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
