Till You… (Tum Tak…)

– Another wonderful song from the Hindi Film: Raanjhanaa

Another magical song from the Hindi film: Raanjhanaa (2015) with the same awesome combo of maestro A.R. Rahman along with the lyrics of transcended poet Irshad Kamil, and the mesmerizing voice of Javed Ali.

There is something really special about this song, observe carefully how the title of the track Tum Tak (Till you) is not just used as a repeated rhyme in the lyrics but the geniuses have also used it as a musical addition (as in alternate to the “dhin-tak” of the drums with “tum-tak”).

Translation:

My all whims and antics, till you…
Silliness and foolishness, till you…
My eyes wandering, till you…
All pangs and pleasures – growing or going…
Till you, till you, and till you, Oh beloved!

Till you, till you, and till you, Oh beloved!
Till you, till you, and till you, Oh beloved!

Till you, all appeals of mine…
Resting on judgment fine…
Till you, all appeals of mine…
Leaving at mercy of thine…

My all challenges are till you…
My all cleverness is till you…
My all formulations, till you…
Till you, till you, till you…
My love drunkenness, till you…

(in female voice…)
Relentless, Relentless, don’t gaze on me,
oh, you without clue…
Delicate, delicate, hearts are indulgent,
they carry me and you…

You-you-you, you-you-you,
you-you-you,
you…

You unleash a rope, of your gaze on me
I get wooed by you…
as your eyes hit on me…
I get wooed by you…

(back to male voice…)
Till you…
Have made it, till you…
Will continue, till you…
Have attended, till you…
Will convene, till you…

Till you, till you, till you, till you, till you…
Ooo…..
Till you, till you, till you, till you, till you…

Carry vigil of my eyes, oh boat of foresight,
you are the ores for me, you are my guide…
I desire to come across you, but you carry a whirl.
How am I to pass unscathed, in my boat fragile?

Till you, till you, and till you, Oh beloved!
Till you, till you, and till you, Oh beloved!

My wicked intelligence, till you…
My youthful appearance, till you…
My wicked intelligence, till you…
My youthful appearance, till you…
My story exists, till you…
My story continues only, till you…

Till you, till you, till you, till you, till you…

Till you, all appeals of mine…
Resting on judgment fine…
Till you, all appeals of mine…
Leaving at mercy of thine…

My all whims and antics, till you…
Silliness and foolishness, till you…
My gaze nomadic, till you…
All pangs and pleasures – growing or going…
Till you, till you, and till you, Oh beloved!

– Dedicated to all the lovers who believe in prayers.

Only when we experience it ourselves and listen to it closely this fact dawns on us,
when the lover is remembering the beloved, the heartbeats are beating and producing the sound of not “dhak-dhak, dhak-dhak”, but “tum-tak, tum-tak, tum-tak”.
