Theme Music for Kalvi

Hey all, here i come with another new track composed for a short film "Kalvi", which is an award winning short film among 350 entries. 

  
A debut short film by Joseph Camillus which depicts the freedom that literacy gives to the child labour...This short flim grabbed Best Short Film Award in "Creative Hunt" a short film contest conducted by Reliance Mobile..The film portrays that the current literacy method is not attractive to the school going kids as they just look for the freedom from books and home works...whereas for the child labour kids even this level of literacy is a dream. "KALVI" freedom of literacy...

Kaala Rey - Piano cover by me (Gangs of wasseypur)

Song: Kaala Rey
Composer: Sneha Kanwalkar
Album: Gangs of wasseupur
Cover: Allen Sebastian (Piano and full orchestration)


One of my favourite songs which i decided to do an instrumental cover while I was watching the second part of the movie. Hope you all like this and feel free to leave feedback :)

Here is the english translation for the lyrics


Kaala re, saiyyan kaala re
tan kala re, man kala re
kaali jabaan ki kaali gaari
kaale din ki kaali shaamein
saiyaan karte ji coal bajari

black, my beloved is black,
the body is black, the soul is black,
the abuses hurled from the black tongue are black..
black evenings of black day,
my beloved deals in black market of coal..

(here, the phrase Coal Bazari is used for two meanings instead of one. Coal marketing is used for black marketing as it's black, and it's dealing of coal anyway)

Kaala re, saiyyan kaala re..black, my beloved is black..

bairi coal coal coal
Chheene tol tol tol
chhat aangan chahardeewaari
Saiyyan karte ji coal bajaari
this enemy coal,
seems to be snatching by weight
(my home's) roof, courtyard, and boundarywall..
(as in, she's feeling that her home is dying in this quest for coal)
my beloved deals in black market of coal..

Kaali mitti kutta kaala
kaala bilkul surme waala
kaala kawwa hawwa kaala
Kaala baadal ghirne wala
kaala moti girne wala
Kaala jhanda danda kala
kaala batua paisa kala
kali aankhon jaisa kala
The earth is black and dog is black too,
completely black like the kohl,
crow is black and the unknown ghost is black..
black clouds are about to collect all around,
a black pearl is about to fall.. (a tear with the color of kohl is called a black pearl)
the flag is black and so is the rod (supporting it)
the purse is black and the money is black too,
it's black like the black eyes..

kali agni
kali garmi sooraj kala
kaala beegha aur gaj kala
kala haathi haathi kala kala
bairi coal coal coal
Chheene tol tol tol
bairi coal coal
Chheene whole sale tol
rang paani aur pichkari..
the fire is black..
the heat is black and sun is black..
the bighas and yards are black (Bigha and yards are the common units for land measurement used for selling and buying of land. Here it mostly means the buying and selling of land is black, as in, involves illegal/immoral activities)
the elephant is black..
this enemy coal,
seems to be snatching by weight
this enemy coal,
seems to be snatching as if in whole sale
all color, water, and the sprayer..
