This is one song you won't hear in any movie or private album. I came across this song in a forum and been a devotee of sorts of this song ever since. There are several versions of 'origin' story of this song. One of them is -
Sung by Rohan Rathore from IIT Guwahati. He was suffering from cancer. He sang this song for Supriya, a girl he loved more than anything and anyone in the world. Unfortunately she didn’t return his love but this song was something he felt he had to do. He died just 15 days after recording this song.
Well, this story might be true or not, the song does touch heart. The lyrics are touching and the voice simply penetrates your senses. There was a time when I used to listen to this song every night and cry myself to sleep. Check it out below.
Well, this is most probably a fan made video. If you want to listen to the audio only, go here.
Oh love of mine, with a song and a whine,
You’re harsh and divine like truths and a lie.
But the tale ends not here.
I have nothing to fear
for my love is a yell of giving and hold on.
In the bright emptiness, in a room full of it,
is a cruel mistress – my heart!
I feel this unrest, that nests all hollowness,
for I have nowhere to go and I’m cold.
And I feel so lonely yeah…
There’s a better place than this: emptiness.
And I’m so lonely yeah…
There’s a better place than this: emptiness
yeah… yeah… yeah…
Aa.. aa.. aa…
Tune mere jaana.., kabhi nahi jaana..,
Ishq mera, dard mera.. haaye..
Tune mere jaana, kabhi nahin jaana,
Ishq mera, dard mera.
Aashiq tera…
Bheed mein khoya rehta hai.
Jaane jahaan…
Puchho toh itna kehta hai -
That I feel so lonely yeah…
There’s a better place than this: emptiness…
And I’m so lonely yeah…
There’s a better place than this: emptiness
yeah… yeah… yeah…
Aa.. aa.. aa…The song truly sinks into the heart once the first verse in Hindi section starts. Tune mere jaana kabhi nahi jaana. :-( Here's the English translation of that section of the Song for non-Hindi readers.
You, my love, have never ever realized
my love, my pain.
You, my love, have never ever realized
my love, my pain.
Your lover
remains lost in the crowd.
My dear love, sweetheart,
if anyone asks, he says
That "I feel so lonely yeah…
There’s a better place than this: emptiness.
And I’m so lonely yeah…
There’s a better place than this: emptiness
yeah… yeah… yeah…" Like it? If this song doesn't remind you of a loved one, you've never been in love really.
