Singer: Mighty Chalkdust
Mr.Sirissi,
Hang your head in shame
Mastana Bahar gettin all the fame
Calypso first prize is four thousand
Mastana is twenty thousand
So I don't see that...
Make me to enter that competition
Dil de kay dekho, dil de kay dekho ji.
[Give the heart, give the heart and see]
Dil lene waalo dil dena seekho ji
[Those who take the heart, learn to give the heart]
[from the Hindi film Dil Deke Dekho, Nasir Hussain,1959]
Look Sham Mohammed [one of the founders of the pageant]
He heard me Indian song and he said to me
Forget the calypso crown
Chalkie you singing for mere chick feed
In a national competition
And Lilla Merchant may give more bread
On de local television
I singin:
Huzoor kya hua ik panchchi
[Sir what happened, a bird...]
Zindagi ki bahaaron mein aaya
[Came into the fullness of life]
Ye saari mastiya saath lekar
[Bringing with it all this enthusiasm]
Muskuraado maza lo mein aaya
[Smile, have fun, I'm coming]
......
......
Mr.Sirissi this is my last time here
Go on you can see
You gettin the lion's share
The fifth prize on Mastana Bahar
Is a trip to Barbados back
So I consider ....
To sing when I reach the final
I singin:
Jo vaada kiya ho nibhana padega
[What you have promised you must deliver]
Rokay zamaana chaahe rokay khudayi
[I don't care if the world stops you, or even God]
Tumko aana padega
[You will still have to come]
Jo vaada kiya ho nibhana padega
[What you have promised you must deliver]
Tharasthi nigaho ne aawaaz dii hai
[Desperate eyes are calling out]
Mohabbat ki raahon ne aawaaz dii hai
[The paths of love are calling out]
Jaan-e-haya, jaan-e-ada
[Dear shy one, dear elegant one]
Chhodo tharsaana tumko aana padega
[Stop making me thirst for you, now you have to come]
Jo vaada kiya ho nibhana padega
[What you have promised you must deliver]
Jo vaada kiya ho nibhana padega
[What you have promised you must deliver]
[From the Hindi film Taj Mahal, M.Sadiq,1963] |
