| Add – Lilabali - Bangladeshi Wedding Song Lyrics | 1 year ago |
|
"Lilabali" is an almost-two-century-old Bangladeshi wedding song, originally written by Sree Radha Raman Dutta, a reverend prolific Bangladeshi musician. This English rendition is done by Mozammal Hoque Tipu, a literary translator of Bangladesh. The song features the bride's grooming-up by her buddies and their expression of demanding the befitting ornaments to be obtained from the groom or groom's guardian. The song "Lilabali" name-drops a list of outfits and accessories to groom up the bride with as a part of the bride's preparation. The list not only includes a fancy list of outfits and ornaments but also specifies the intended quality and glamour of those accessories. The list goes on to include a head locket and a lace of jewelry for the bride's hair part, an emerald stoney nose-pin, purely pearly ear-cuffs, a diamond necklace, gold bangles, silvery waist chain, anklets with silvery jingle bells, a fancy sharee and a scarf hemmed with jewelry. The inner meaning of their demand is that their "bride" is so valuable that the groom is lucky enough to marry such a worthy bride and so he should be great enough to gift all the ornaments demanded by the buddies of the bride. This particular occasion is marked by some friendly quarrelling and sometimes a loud one and still is a source of amusement for all especially the children around. Such a moment is a long desired one for not only the bride herself but also for all her family members and all her kith and kin and all and sundry of the vicinity. The occasion is marked by dancing and singing of the children and also grown-ups especially the grandmoms and siblings and cousins and friends of the bride. Lastly, the song resonates the merriment centering round the occasion of a Bangladeshi wedding that hints the prosperity, happiness and cultural soundness of this region of 19th century. |

| Add – Happy Eid for All Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
The song "Happy Eid for all" is an English rendition of the popular Bangla song "Romjaner ei rojar sheshey elo khushir Eid" originally composed by Kazi Nazrul Islam, the national poet of Bangladesh. The English rendition was written and sung by Mohammed Mozammal Hoque Tipu for the label "Soul Bangla Global Music" The song is about happy-merry celebration of Muslims' religious festival - Eid. The song depicts the the beauty of Islam to enlighten our hearts with love and care, sense of peace and humanity and our responsibility towards each other. The song starts with a happy-merry note "after month-long fasting of Ramadan it's happy Eid for all" to call Muslims for sharing the merriment with others that is the Devine call. The phrase "All of your gold and silver everything Lillah" reminds us that all we are given is actually given by the Almighty Allah and so should be given away in the path of Allah. That inspires an economic re-distribution. In the course of our economy some may gain a lot more that they actually need and some may get less. So by "Zakat" we can re-distribute resources and fix the loop holes of our system of economy. It has been proven that if we strictly follow the rules of Zakat (2.5% of one's resources at the year end) there will be no poor on earth. In the golden age of Islam, people used to roam from cities to cities to find a poor person to help. There was a scarcity of poor persons. Then we find a heart-soothing phrase like " Let the earth be haloed by the Islamic aura" rings a bell of the time of Prophet Mohammed (SM) who enlightened the the world of "dark age" with Islamic aura. Then the phrase "To those who threw stones at you don't be vindictive......" teaches a lesson of forgiveness what is crucial for our peaceful co-existence. The song highly pronounces the message of "embracing and accepting" where lies the beauty of living. |

| Add – Midnightly Meet Me by the Shrubbery Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
The song " Midnightly meet me by the shrubbery" is an English rendition of the popular Bangla song " Nishithe jaio fulo bone". The original Bangla song is a romantic one while this English rendition in Mozammal Hoque Tipu's lyrics is about hailing the environment and our responsibility to keep it safe. So this is an ecological song in the guise of a romantic one. The singer or her lover is not the protagonist of the song - she is only the mouthpiece of the actual protagonist - the ecology. The crucial need for an ecological balance is echoed in the metaphors like "oxygen", "truely friendly" etc. The line "Into the woods step alone discretely" refers to our responsibility to keep safe the ecology, not to cause any harm to it. The same urge is pronounced in the subsequent phrases like " You should neither hurt a flora // Nor tear apart a flower // Nor you rile up a fauna // They should never be hurt // Shouldn’t be torn apart // Not even be riled up" In the verse " The wild fauna - Let’em stay safe in the sanctuary - As in your heart my heart lies snuggly", there is one thing to notice, here the singer does not compare their love with the nature's elements' snuggly co-existence. Rather it is vice-versa. She rather personifies the "fauna" as the protagonist and compares the fauna - sanctuary relation with their love affair. To conclude, the flora and fauna are the protagonists of the song and the singer is the mouthpiece of the protagonists. It is needless to say for our happy and healthy living we must care our environment and there should be more songs written on environment. |

| Add – Cricket Song - Cricket Is On Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
The song "Cricket song - cricket is on" is a humanitarian song in the guise of a sports song. The metaphor "gladiator" suggests the cruelty the planet used to show where one fighter had to kill another fighter to entertain the spectators. But now we are civilized enough not have to kill a human being to entertain the people. Playing fair is enough to be a hero. The songwriter is optimistic of driving away all the evils in forms of feuds, wrangles and disputes with the cricket storm. There is of course an allusion of the present world crisis posed by all the wars including Russia - Ukraine and Israel - Palestine conflicts. The songwriter hails love and peace to solve all the problems in a humanitarian way. The sports-commentary-like shout in the middle of the song is a snub at the war mongers who are no more heroes in the eyes of global citizens who now are ready to praise a sports hero, not an inhuman gladiator or any group or country who terrorize our beloved planet. The songwriter inspires the spunk of a person to be shown in the sports field, rather than in an inhuman battle ground. He is waiting for a hero to write a new music, to show the world a new hope of living together in peace and harmony. He is inviting one among the powerful leaders of the present world to come up with a new song, shattering the evil idea of killing each other, to gift a peaceful world to the generations yet to come. |

The song is about the singer's vulnerability without her lover's presence. She compares the absence with "doom" and his importance with "oxygen". The lively metaphors make the song romantically sensuous. To further delve into her feeling, she calls some geographic metaphors where she named the "gravitational force" as "love attraction". She further calls upon some mythological figures like "Behula" and "Laxindar" and some practical historical couples like "Hason Raja - Payeree" and "King Edward-Walis" to show her own feeling toward her lover. |

| Add – I'm a Sinner. He Is My Guarantor Lyrics | 2 years ago |
|
The 2nd verse, "Life's a drama ... ... " compares life with a drama stage where we are to play our roles what was already written by the Creator and we will leave the world when it is time, not a minute earlier or later. Our activities are written down by angels and our karma will speak of us - good or bad. This verse reminds us of doing good deeds on earth. The last verse uses "ticket" as a metaphor of our "good deeds on earth" which will beget us the jannat (heaven). Without this ticket we wont be able to go to the jannat. The repeating refrain of the song pronounces a hope that our prophet Mohammed (SM) will speak in favor of us to Allah - the Creator and the Almighty. As muslims we have a hope that Mohammed (SM) will be our savior. |
