BABLA MEHTA PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE LEGENDARY MASTER: MUKESH CHAND MATHUR

 

Babla was born to Inderjeet and Raj Rani Mehta, a simple middle-class family with no musical pedigree. His father was a banker who was a fan of Manna Dey. In his early years, Babla developed his passion for music from his father. A quick learner, with a good ear for music, Babla started humming and singing in his teens, but, being shy, he never had the confidence to sing on stage during his school and college days. One day, he corrected a college mate for not hitting right notes while singing a song. The boy took offense and rudely questioned his musical credentials. The incident fueled the resolve in Babla to start singing in public and show the world his capabilities.

That was the beginning. After completing his education, he followed in his father’s footsteps to begin a career in banking, though he knew his true calling was music. So he started singing in live music shows. At one such show, music mughal Gulshan Kumar spotted his talent and signed him on to cut a disc. Though he quit his job, he kept the pretense of working until his album was released. Then he broke the news and sought his parents’ blessings. Thus began his journey.

BABLA MEHTA PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE LEGENDARY MASTER: MUKESH CHAND MATHUR

 

Due to the close resemblance of his voice to the legendary singer Mukesh (Mukesh Chand Mathur), Babla began his career recording covers of Mukesh songs for T-Series. Then one day, in 1990, seminal Indian film composer R.D. Burman was passing through Khar, Mumbai, when he heard the song ‘Sajan re jhoothmut bolo’ blaring from an audio cassette shop. Burman commented on how well Mukesh had sung the song, and was surprised to learn it was not Mukesh, but the voice of Babla coming from the shop. He was so impressed he contacted Babla and asked to meet him the very next day. Then Pancham Da took Babla under his wing, and he became a regular singer in Pancham Da’s live shows.

Unfortunately, Puncham Da’s failing health delayed his film music debut.

Babla's career in film music took off under the guidance of the music director Shiv-Hari in Yash Raj Film's Chandni in 1989, and Babla's duet "Tere Mere Hoton Pe" with Lata Mangeshkar became his debut song in Hindi films. Soon Babla was singing for leading music directors like Nadeem-Shravan, Rakesh Roshan, Bappi Lahri, Anu Malik, etc. Some of the blockbusters in which he sang were Chandani, Dil Hai Ke Maanta Nahin and Sadak.

The sudden death of Mukesh in 1976 created a vacuum among his countless fans. With Babla's voice resembling the legend closely, Babla Mehta stepped in with his renditions of popular Mukesh numbers in live shows and recordings. He has rendered over 250 songs of Mukesh compiled in 10 solo albums and 6 albums of duets. The success of these albums has established Babla as ‘the voice of Mukesh’ in popular imagination.

A Hindi playback singer, composer, sound recordist and music director, he puts such melody in his music, it’s hard to ignore. It’s also absolutely noteworthy that perhaps no one has paid such a handsome tribute to Mukeshji than Babla Mehta. Tune in to the music and melodies of an era gone by.

 

Enjoy the music that we will be presenting:

 

And as we do tell our readers than if you do like the music, then help the singers and musicians bring more of these gems to the fore, by going out and buy the CD's.

Bahaaron ne meraa chaman lootakar, khijaa ko ye

iljaam kyo de diyaa
Why has the springtime, after robbing my garden,

put the blame on autumn
Kisee ne chalo dushmanee thee magar,

ise dosatee naam kyo de diyaa
Accepted that someone had enemity for me,

but why give it the name of friendship


Bahaaron ne meraa chaman lootakar,

Mai samazaa naheen aye mere humanashee,

(sajaa ye milee hain muze kisaliye)2
I don't understand, my friend,

why I got this punishment
Ke saakee ne lab se mere chhinakar,

kisee aaur ko jaam kyo de diyaa
That **saakee took the cup from my lips

and gave to someone else

Bahaaron ne meraa chaman lootakar,

Mujhe kyaa pataa thaa kabhee ishk mein,

(rakeebon ko katib banaate nahee)2
How was I to know that you never

ask rivals to be your letter writer
Khataa ho gayee muz se katib mere,

tere haath paigaam kyo de diyaa
I made a mistake of my letter writer,

in whose hand I gave your message

Bahaaron ne meraa chaman lootakar,

Khudaayaa yahaa tere insaaf ke

(bahot maine charche sune hain magar)2
Oh God I have heard so much about your justice
Sajaa kee jagah ek khataawaar ko,

bhalaa toone inaam kyo de diyaa
Instead of punishing one who made a mistake,

why have you rewarded him

Bahaaron ne meraa chaman lootakar,

saakee** is the lady hostess who fills and refills the cups of wine

2) BHOOLE SE MOHABAT KAR BAITHA

http://newmp3mad.com/128-13943...t%20Kar%20Baitha.mp3

 

Bhoole se mohabbat kar baitha
Nadan tha bechara dil hi to hai
Oh, har dil se khata ho jaati hai
Bigado na khudara dil hi to hai
Dil hi to hai


I unknowingly fell in love.
This poor heart's only fault was being naive.
Oh, every heart makes a mistake sometime or another
Please don't get upset, Oh God, it's just a heart.
After all, it's only a heart

(Is tarah nigahe mat phero)2
(Aisa na ho dhadkan rukh jaaye)2
(Seene mein koi patthar to nahin)2
Ehsaas ka maara dil hi to hai
Oh, har dil se khata ho jaati hai
Bigado na khudara dil hi to hai, dil hi to hai.


Please, do not look away from me like that
For my heart may just happen to stop beating.
Inside my chest lies not a stone,
But a heart with no feeling.
Oh, every heart makes some mistake or another
Please don't get upset, oh God, it's just a heart. It's only a heart.

(Bedaag garon ki tokar se)2
(Sab khwaab suhaane choor hue)2
(Ab dil ka sahaara gam hi to hai)2
(Ab gam ka sahaara (dil hi to hai)2


I've been abused by many people
And all my pleasant dreams have been shattered.
Now, the only solace for my heart is sorrow
And the only support for that sorrow is my heart

Bhoole se mohabbat kar baitha
Nadan tha bechaara dil hi to hai
Har dil se khata ho jaati hai
Bigadon na khudaara dil hi to hai
Dil hi to hai.


I made the mistake of falling in love.
My heart was innocent and after all, it's just a heart
Every heart makes mistakes
Please don't be angry, o God, it's only a heart
It's just a heart.

Till yesterday the one who vowed to stay true in adversity

Today for the sake of her comforts, she gave herself to another

3) CHAND KE DEEWAR NA TODI

http://newmp3mad.com/128-13943...war%20Na%20Tordi.mp3

 

(Chand ki deewaar na todi, pyar bhara dil tod diya)2

Wall of silver wasn't pulled down, but it broke a heart full of love

Ek dhanavan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daman tod diyaa

The daughter of a wealthy man abandoned one who was poor


Chandi ki Deewar

Wall of silver


Kal tak jisane qasamein khaein, dukh mein sath nibhane ki

Till yesterday the one who vowed to stay true in adversity

Aj vo apane sukh ki khatir, ho gai ik begane ki

Today for the sake of her comforts, she gave herself to another Shahanaiyon ki gunj mein dabake, rah gai Ah divane ki

The echoes of clarinets suppressed the sound of love crazed sighing Dhanavanon ne divane ka, Gam se rishta jod diya

The rich linked the love crazed with grief

Ek dhanavan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daman tod diyaa

The daughter of a wealthy man abandoned one who was poor


Chandi ki Deewar

Wall of silver


Ye kya samajhe pyar ko jinaka, sab kuchh chandi sona hai

Will they consider love instead of those who care for gold and silver Dhanavanon ki is duniya mein, dil to ek khilauna hai

In this world of the rich the heart is just a plaything

Sadiyon se dil tutata aya, dil ka bas ye rona hai

From centuries the heart keeps getting broken, such is the tragedy Jab tak chaha dil se khela, aur jab chaha tod diya

Toyed with the heart as long as it pleased and broke it on a whim

Ek dhanavan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daman tod diyaa

The daughter of a wealthy man abandoned one who was poor


Chandi ki Deewar

Wall of silver

(Jaane kahaan gaye woh din

Where did those days go

Kehte the teri raah meein

When you said that in my path

Najaron ko hum bichhayenge)2

You will bestow your gaze

Chaahe kahin bhi tum raho,

Wherever you are

Chaahenge tum ko umr bhar

I will love you forever

Tum ko naa bhool paayenge

I will never forget you

 

Mere kadam jahaan pade,

Wherever my feet left prints

Sajade kiye the yaar ne

My friend bowed and kissed that ground

Mere kadam jahaan pade,

Wherever my feet left prints

Sajade kiye the yaar ne

My friend bowed and kissed that ground

Mujhko rulaa rulaa diyaa,

Oh how many tears I have shed

Jaatee huyee bahaar ne

Over the last days of spring

 

Jaane kahaan gaye woh din

Where did those days go

Kehte the teri raah meein

When you said that in my path

Najaron ko hum bichhayenge

You will bestow your gaze

Chaahe kahin bhi tum raho,

Wherever you are

Chaahenge tum ko umr bhar

I will love you forever

Tum ko naa bhool paayenge

I will never forget you

 

Apni nazar mein aaj kal

In my eyes, nowadays

Din bhi andheri raat hai

Even the days are as dark as the night

Apni nazar mein aaj kal

In my eyes, nowadays

Din bhi andheri raat hai

Even the days are as dark as the night

Saayaa hi apane saath thaa,

Shadows were my only comapnions then

Saayaa hi apane saath hai

Shadows are my only companions now.

 

Jaane kahaan gaye woh din

Where did those days go

Kehte the teri raah meein

When you said that in my path

Najaron ko hum bichhayenge

you will bestow your gaze

Chaahe kahin bhi tum raho,

Wherever you are

Chaahenge tum ko umr bhar

I will love you forever

Tum ko naa bhool paayenge

I will never forget you

Gaae jaa git milan ke, tu apane lagan ke

Singing the song of your loved one and your devotion to her

Sajan ghar jaanaa hai

You are heading for your lover's home

Gaae jaa git milan ke, tu apane lagan ke

Singing the song of your loved one and your devotion for her

Sajan ghar jaanaa hai

You are heading for your lover's home

 

Kaahe chhalake naino ki gagari kaahe barase jal

Why are you crying so much? ???

Tum bin suni saajan ki nagari paradesiyaa ghar chal

Your lover's life is lonely, o traveler go home

Pyaase hai dip gagan ke, tere darshan ke

His eyes are waiting to see you

Sajan ghar jaanaa hai

You are heading for your lover's home

 

Gaae jaa git milan ke, tu apane lagan ke

Singing the song of your loved one and your devotion for her

Sajan ghar jaanaa hai

You are heading for your lover's home

 

Lut na jaae jivan kaa deraa mujhako hai ye gam

I am very sad when I do think of losing her and our home

Ham akele, ye jag luteraa bichhade na milake ham

I am alone in this cruel world, hope for no separation

Bigade nasib na banake ye din jivan ke

Hope that we are not destined to separate after meeting

Sajan ghar jaanaa hai

You are heading for your lover's home

 

Gaae jaa git milan ke, tu apane lagan ke

Singing the song of your loved one and your devotion for her

Sajan ghar jaanaa hai

You are heading for your lover's home

 

Dole naina pritam ke dvaare milane ki he dhun

Eyes are searching and my lips are humming tunes of love

Baalam teraa tujhako pukaare yaad aanevaale sun

Listen your lover is remembering and calling for you

Saathi milenge bachapan ke khilege phul mann ke

Childhood friends will happily soon be meeting,

Sajan ghar jaanaa hai

You are heading for your lover's home

 

Gaae jaa git milan ke, tu apane lagan ke

Singing the song of your loved one and your devotion for her

Sajan ghar jaanaa hai.

You are heading for your lover's home

 

NB will get back to this one, something seems to be out:
