JAGMOHAN - O Varsha ke Pehle Badal .. A rare old forgotten song

  • 12 years ago
(LYRICS, TRANSLATION & VIDEO) Clouds, rain, saawan has great social and romantic significance in the sub-continent. They bring happiness and sadness in the life of the people. The poetry of this Geet describes :

"The Lover requests the first-rain-clouds to go the village (Alka-nagri) of his beloved and deliver the message- that he misses her. He requests the clouds, during the long journey through the valleys and rivers, they might face various attractions and hurdles, but they should continue their journey and deliver his message by raining (weeping)".

It is unbelievable that a composition of this calibre could be created in 40s. Only a genius like - Kamal Dasgupta could do it. He through his sheer talent, has described the journey through the music. Jagmohan ji with his marvellous singing has created a magic on Kalidas' poetry.

It took me months to match and create a befitting video on this great composition. I am trying to bring the great composer and the singer into limelight and revive their grandeur.
