Maaeri: An artist dreams...

Whole life we dream of being successful, being rich enough to fulfill our dreams...

Possessing every reason to smile,

Being ourselves, free from any ritual, any rite, any boundations...

Being a free bird...

Being ourselves!!

Being on top of the world!

Now, I have everything. But I don’t have any reason for happiness as I don’t have you.

I have fulfilled each dream of mine.

Dreams, desires and wishes are complete in each sense of mine. But I am not complete in myself as I don’t have you.

I am incomplete without you.

Oh Maa!! What should I do now! I have everything in this world that I had dreamt of but can’t find any reason to smile as I don’t have her...

Lost love!

How beautiful love was and how painful it had to end!

What is the use of winning or losing now mother; I have already forgotten about it as I have lost love.

I have forgotten yours and mine,

I have forgotten winning and losing,

Oh maa! What should I do after winning?

When I don’t have her???

She was a simply a girl-next-door. But don’t know, whether it was her innocence, her charm or her beauty that made her mine!

I remember her laughs...
her tears that broke me into pieces.

Her innocence,

Her warmth...

Her notorious ways of disturbing me,

Her silent ways of holding me...

Disturb me once!

Hold me once!

I beg you...

I even remember those longing for each other.

I still long for our togetherness...

But I don’t have you.

She used to wear “bindi”.

Her eyelashes used to flutter then...

Adjusting her scarf,

She used to promise me to meet again then...

Maa...

I had her hands with mine.

Her words were like honey-drops.

She used to laugh on her own,

Cry on her own!

Maa..  

I remember her...

I miss her badly...

She chatters.

Her angry looks from those beautiful eyes...

Oh! I miss her badly!!

Oh maa!

She used to sneak away from her home silently just to be together with me.

Even in those beautiful showers, wrapped up in notorious monsoons, she used to come.

If got late, she cried silently.

I wish I cry again and she sings...

May those witnessing breeze springs again!

She sings ballads!! She dances on her own tunes!

I still remember her...
She crosses heavens...

She asks for blessings...

Maa.. I miss her badly!!

What should I do now?

To whom I should speak out my heart to?

O maa!

I just have you with me.

I am a part of you.

Only you can understand my silence, my deepest feelings and my eternal love for her!

Only you can feel my tears, my memories and my remembrance...

Maa.. Only you!

O girl!

Leave this materialistic world,

Come back to me...

Break all those false vows,

Come back to me...

Swear to God,

Come back once...

If we meet this once, we will never part.

Never ever!!

Oh!! She should come now...

Can someone bring her back?

Maa. Can you??

I miss her badly...

I still remember her...

She used to chatter...

Those angry eyeballs!

Missing her...

She forgot my love...

Just took her four months!

I remember her...

Her memories come...

She comes in my memories...

Those silent promises,

Those tearful longing!

Those moments together...

Now,

Far apart!

What must I do now?

Who must I talk to?

Ae Maaeri!

Oh maa!

Just come once...

I won’t let you depart ever...

I am fulfilling each promise of ours...

Now, it’s yours turn.

Just come back...

 

“This is basically my own interpretation of the song “Maaeri” from Euphoria. It has always been a pleasure to hear them sing and this is, undoubtedly, their best song.

I don’t know why but I feel very much connected with this song. This is how I speak my heart out to my mother. I am very close to her as every child is to her mother but there is still a different connectivity with her. I don’t know how but I have a different chemistry that sets apart me from every negativity coming my way. I know everyone in this world has an end. I fear of losing her then and now.

But, then, I know its life!

I feel blessed on having such a wonderful mother and a wonderful life!

And a few weeks ago, I saw Euphoria performing at a concert. I was there!

I saw them perform and truly, hats off to them!

They are amazing, they are energetic and they are wonderful!

And they are rocking too!

Their zeal and zest along with their classical passion instilled a faith in me to render my own interpretation of the song Maaeri and the band Euphoria!

May God shower His passionate musicals on them!!"

Truly,

Lost in translation!!
