Norah vs. Raamlaxman
Norah Jones plays a synthesizer draped in fancy fabric like a harmonium in this video for ‘What Am I to You,’ a country-infused love song aching with the anomie of individualism:
What am I to you
Tell me darling true
To me you are the sea
Vast as you can be
And deep the shade of blue…Tell me darlin’ true
What am I to you… [Link]
Years ago, Raamlaxman answered Norah in the title track for Hum Aapke Hain Koun (Who Am I to You):
|
Chehara mera parh lo kabhi |
Read my face sometime The blush on my face may tell you Who I am, who I am to you [Link] |

At least Tuffy got props. It said Tuffy [dog]. Just in case you didn’t confuse his name with any other central character in the story.
anomie of individualism…very interesting choice of words Manish..
I like both the songs where neither one answers the question..very intelligent..hum aap ke hai kaun?
hum aap ke hai kaun was such a fun movie to watch… so rich family values, costumes, color,marriage fun..
here is one more

I like that bollywhat site, some of the translations to hindi lyrics are really funny.
I try very hard to like Norah Jones songs, BUT…
–They all put me to sleep.
–At the end of every phrase, she aspirates and it sounds like the end of the song. In fact,
I think you could terminate her songs anywhere and it would work.
–She sounds like lounge act who hasn’t learned breath control.
–She’s cute, but looks like she’s put on a little extra cushion.
she’s cute… some pix for yyou
and apparently her compnion is called daru.
