Namaste HIVE!

Oh! to be young again.
Irada is my original song about finding the teenage love feeling again when you are much older.

I wrote this song around this time last year. My son was obsessed with Legos at that time. And he has 4 of his other friends obsessed as well.
Together they had acquired quite and arsenal of Lego figures and were constantly playing with them.

When I wrote this song, I wanted to make a very interesting video and was searching for a concept.
Then my wife suggested to put all the screaming children in the house to work and make a video using the Legos!
What an idea!!💡

We got to work immediately!
My son and his friends made elaborate set pieces according to the story I came up with for the song.
We shot using my iPhone 12.
Some editing magic and voilà! You have a music video 😄

Lyrics & Translation:

Titliyaan kyun raat mein machal rahi hai
(Why are butterflies playing in the night?)
Bheed mein ye naze kyun ulaj rahi hai
(Why are only our eyes meeting in this crowd?)
Aisa lag raha hai jaise bin kahe, sune, koi toh raaz jaane
(I feel like without speaking, without listening, we know a secret)
Muskurahate chipaye na chipi hai
(We just cannot hide our smiles) 😊

Jaane bun raha
Khayaal kaise bezubaan se
Hai shararati (yeh dil mera)
(Oh! what unspoken plans is my mischievous heart making!)

Kaisa bachpana
Chada hai dil ko iss umar mein
Meri na sune
(What childishness has come over my heart in this old age, it isn’t listening to me!)

Hai Irada,
Tera kya hai irada
Hai Irada,
Tera kya hai irada
Yeh Dil bata de
(Tell me what do you wish for Oh! my heart ❤️)

Bijliyaan badan se yun nikal rahi hai
(Electricity is running through my body)
Teri saanson ki ye dhun jo sun chuki hai
(As soon as I heard the rhythm of your breath)
Aisa lag raha hai hongi baarishein yahin mile jo lab hamare
(I feel like it might just rain if our lips meet 👄)
Bheegne ki chaah ye bula rahi hai
(The desire to get drenched is calling me!)

aane bun raha
Khayaal kaise bezubaan se
Hai shararati (yeh dil mera)
(Oh! what unspoken plans is my mischievous heart making!)

Kaisa bachpana
Chada hai dil ko iss umar mein
Meri na sune
(What childishness has come over my heart in this old age, it isn’t listening to me!)

Hai Irada,
Tera kya hai irada
Hai Irada,
Tera kya hai irada
Yeh Dil bata de
(Tell me what do you wish for Oh! my heart ❤️)
