English Lyrics via blog.chandrahasa.com

Jinke sar ho ishq ki chaaon
Paaon ke neeche jaanat hogi
Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya

Those who walk in the shade of love
Must have Paradise under their feet
Keep walking in the shade of love

Sar ishq ki chhaaon chal chaiyya chaiyya
Pau janat chale chal chaiyya chaiyya
(Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya) x4
In the shade of love, keep walking
Paradise under their feet, keep walking
Keep walking in the shade of love

Voh yaar hai jo khushboo ki tarah
Voh jiski zubaan urdu ki tarah
Meri shaam raat, meri kaayanat
Voh yaar mera sainya sainya
The companion who walks along like fragrance
Who whispers in a melodious tongue (Urdu)
Is my evening, night, my universe
My beloved, my love

Gulposh kabhi itraaye kahin
Mehke to nazar aa jaaye kahin
Taaveez banaake pehnoon usay
Aayat ki tarah mil jaaye kahin
(Who) conceals herself in the flowers
And is revealed in the fragrance
Made into a charm, I would wear her
If I ever find her like a miracle

Voh yaar hai jo imaam ki tarah
Mera nagma vohi mera qalma vohi
Mera nagma nagma mera qalma qalma
My companion, who is like a priest to me
She is my song, my declaration of faith
My song, my declaration of faith

Woh yaar misaale ous chale
Paaon ke tale firdous chale
Kabhi daal daal, kabhi paat paat
Main hawa pe dhoondhoon uske nishaan
My companion, who moves like the dew drops
With paradise under the feet
Sometimes on the branches, sometimes on the leaves
I search for her trail in the breeze

Main uske roop ka shehdaai
Vo dhoop chhanv se harjaai
Vo shokh hai rang badalta hai
Main rangroop ka saudaai
I am a lover of all her forms
Who flirts with light and shadow
She is mischievous, and changes colour
And I am a seeker of the colours and forms

Chal chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya chaiyya
Keep walking in the shade of love

Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand

Hello World! 

Just a little bit of nostalgia for this post...

It was 1996, and I remember that this song was all over the radio, plus the music video ran on MTV almost every morning while I was getting ready to go to school.

I remember being instantly attracted to the song because (1.) the name is so long, and (2.) because I liked the fact that it sampled B.B. King's "How Blue Can You Get".

"Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand" by the Primitive Radio Gods made it to #36 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks (aka Billboard Alternative) charts.

Lisa Miskovsky: Still Alive (Airwalker Dubstep Remix)

Somehow, I missed this gem of a song; but now that I've found it I've decided to share.

Apparently, this song was written and performed by Swedish singer Lisa Miskovsky exclusively for a video game called "Mirror's Edge" back in 2008.

The original version of the song can be heard here and can be purchased via Amazon.com or iTunes.

But...the version of the song that I love the best is a Dubstep called "Still Alive (Airwalker Dubstep Remix)" and can be heard below.
