Mother: Enough hide n seek, now come reveal yourself I have looked for you everywhere Your mother is really tired now Please come now, its evening and I am worried about you My sight is getting blurry, please come
Son: Oh Mother! How to tell where I am? Here is an open sky for me to fly Just like the fairy tales you told me Here is a beautiful world of dreams My kite is flying absolutely carefree There is no one to cut through its string or steal it
Mother: My eyes await you My heart is getting uneasy The veranda is getting covered by darkness, where is my little lamp? The sinking sun is asking, where is the moon? My moon, where are you?
Son: Oh Mother! How can I show you what's here? I took a piece from the waterfall and drank it I tore many thoughts into bunches and jumped and touched them The sunshine here is cool like shade Everything is so fresh and new here Everything is here Mother, but yet I feel lonely without you
Translation by me of the Hindi song "Luka Chuppi" from the movie Rang De Basanti.
I love this song. Especially the line:
My kite is flying absolutely carefree There is no one to cut through its string or steal it
(Sung by A. R. Rahman of 'Jai Ho' from Slumdog Millionaire and Nightingale of India - Lata Mangeshkar)
Hide n Seek
