Cowboy Sharad!

At a recent office party, the theme was RETRO. I chose to dress like my fav film star - Dev Anand - in his 60's style, esp from movie "Gambler" particularly from song "Mera Mann Tera Pyaasa.." (My heart pines for you...)

 

Of course, I am a stone or two heavier than Dev Anand and not 10th as handsome. He is God! Even at the age of 89 he is playing lead in movies. One released just last week!

 

Disclaimer: I am not smoking, nor promoting it. This cigarette is not lit. Just that in the 60's, there was not a moment when a cigarette was not dangling from Dev Anand's lips (or any other character's) in the movies.

 

And a Link to the great song. Beautiful melody, voice and such romantic words!

 

Here is the song lyrics (Mera Mann Tera Pyaasa) and its translation

 

Mera Man Tera Pyaasa, Mera Man Tera

(My Heart Pines for You, My heart is Yours)

Poori Kab Hogi Aasha,

(When will my Hope be Fulfilled)

Mera Man Tera

(Heart is yours)

 

Jab Se Maine Dekha Tujhe Mera Dil Nahin Raha,

Mera

(From the day I set my eyes upon you, my heart is no longer,

Mine)

De De Apna Haath Mere Haathon Mein Kya Jaye,

Tera

(If you were to let me hold your hand, it would really cause no harm to,

you)

Ab To Na Todo Aasha, Mera Man Tera...

(Now don't dash my hopes, my hear is yours)

 

Zindagi Hai Meri Ek Daanv, Tu Hai Haar Jeet,

Meri

(My life is just a gamble, you are the victory or loss of,

mine)

Aise Vaise Kaise Bhi Tu Khel Humse Jaisi Marzi,

Teri

(Play me this way or that, it is upto,

you)

Kitni Hai Bholi Aasha, Mera Man Tera...

(That's my little innocent hope from you, my hear it yours)

 

Pata Nahin Kaun Hoon Maein, Kya Hoon Aur Kahan Mujhe,

Jaana

(I have no Idea of who I am, wht I am and where,

I am going)

Apni Vo Kahaani Jo Ajaani Ho Ke Ban Gayi,

Fasaana

(The story of life is so strange that it was unknown and now it is a,

Fable)

Jeevan Kya Hai, Tamaasha, Mera Man Tera...

(What is this life, a spectacle/farce? , my heart is yours)
