SUNSET
Nitin Sawhney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
শেষ বিকেলের মতো অস্ত যেতাম
অসীম রাতের শেষে শয়নে
সূর্যের সাথে আমি ঘুমিয়ে যেতাম
সূর্যের সাথে আমি ঘুমিয়ে যেতাম
Keep moving
Keep changing
Oceans rise
Rivers rise
People rise in the sun
If I were never to leave you
If I were always alone
If I were never to see you
If I could set the sun
If I could set the sun
Tears falling
Rain falling
Leaves are falling with the sun
Lives drifting
Seas drifting
Worlds drifting with the sun
If I were never to leave you
If I were always alone
If I were never to see you
If I could set with the sun
If I could set with the sun
হঠাৎ যদি আমি থেমে যেতাম
শেষ বিকেলের মতো অস্ত যেতাম
অসীম রাতের শেষে শয়নে
সূর্যের সাথে আমি ঘুমিয়ে যেতাম
সূর্যের সাথে আমি ঘুমিয়ে যেতাম
If I were never to leave you
If I were always alone
If I were never to see you
If I could set with the sunset
Set, set, set
Never leave (if I)
Always alone (if I)
Oceans rise
River rise
People rise
With the sun
Oceans rise
River rise
People rise
With the sun
হঠাৎ যদি আমি থেমে যেতাম
শেষ বিকেলের মতো অস্ত যেতাম
অসীম রাতের শেষে শয়নে
সূর্যের সাথে আমি ঘুমিয়ে যেতাম

Keturah Wasler
going so deep within
Farther into the depth of thunderous silence
motionless space travelling from molecule to molecule takes a lifetime
And that's is what I am
molecules persuaded to action
through the experience of life
Ever do that?
Can be scary
Can be catching...riding trains of thought that have cars with snakes
Cars with a cage and in that cage is a 6 legged being with arms too many to count and 4 faces
Perched on a Giant Cobra poised to strike
With a vulture nested in the corner.
Standing guard is a shadow
that doesn't stick to the soul.
Cars so empty that the there is no light shining on an exit door.
The circus comes to town
Beware the fair
By the pricking of my thumb
something uproarious from me comes...
Oh the fear of SELF locked in a dark room
in the corner of a box within the box car
Not far from safe secure compartment
is the Me.

Have you really made friends with your Monsters?
LMBO
There are also cars with comfortable sofas and entertainments
fortune tellers and mimes
Cars free for dancing dancers
where singers finely chime
A heavenly chorus of barking dogs directed by a bear
All for wild laughter of a child
who can not be scared
Cars that feel like it feels here now
Cars with Kings who scrape and bow
Which car holds Heaven
Which car holds Hell?
Go back through the ride my Dear
Then only can You tell
~Me

I recommend the double compilation album URBAN CHILL, (2000/01). That is where I first heard this and many other great tunes from the likes of Sia, Lewis Taylor, Me One, Terry Callier and Jazzyfastness plus many more. A lot of which I had never ever heard of before. It's a genius of an album! 👍🏽👍🏽

The vocalist's name is Eska. The background vocals are not by Nitin Sawhney, but by Jayanta Bose, who sings in Bengali on a number of his tracks.

Must confess only knew of this from London Elektricity's DnB remix and had never checked out this original version at the time. What a lovely track, very much in the soothing mellow style of tracks like Morcheeba-By The Sea, Portis Head-Sour Times etc from the 90's n early 00's great music for the soul to chill to!
