काही बोलायाचे आहे, पण बोलणार नाही - Meaning of the song

I love the song below, as I love all Kusumagraj songs. I was intrigued by the words and wanted to understand what they mean. Unable to find a suitable translation, I decided to do it myself.
English Translation is in Maroon below the actual poem/song lines.
(This is my understanding and it may / may not be what the poet intended!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
गायक: श्रीधर फडके
गीत: कुसुमाग्रज
संगीत: यशवंत देव
 
Singer: Shridhar Phadke
Song: Kusumagraj
Music: Yashwant Dev


काही बोलायाचे आहे, पण बोलणार नाही
देवळाच्या दारामध्ये, भक्ती तोलणार नाही || ध्रु ||

I would like to say something, but I will choose to keep silent
I do not want to test my faith at the doorstep of this temple.
(Poet wants to say something to God but will not do so, because he doesn't want God to judge his faith in him.)

माझ्या अंतरात गंध कल्प कुसुमांचा दाटे
पण पाकळी तयांची, कधी खुलणार नाही || १ ||

My heart is filled with the essence of flowers for ages
But these flower will never bloom now
(The essence is Poets faith and belief in God.
He wants to convey to God that for some reason his faith is wavering and will never reach the pinnacle.)

नक्षत्रांच्या गावातले मला गवसले गुज
परि अक्षरांचा संग त्याला मिळणार नाही || २ ||

I have discovered the secret of the village of constellations (Stars and skies)
But I will never lend words to describe this
(Poet has found out how the stars and skies work. OR he knows how the stars can be influenced, thus changing our destiny.
But he will never disclose this secret to anyone/God.)

मेघ जांभळा एकला राहे नभाच्या कडेला
त्याचे रहस्य कोणाला कधी कळणार नाही || ३ ||

There is a purple cloud floating at the corner of the skies
No one will be able to guess the secret behind this cloud
(He wants to point out that there is a dark cloud floating in the skies.
It is indeed strange that on a clear sky there is a single dark cloud. Who knows the mystery behind this?)

दूर बंदरात उभे एक गलबत रुपेरी
त्याचा कोष किनार्‍यास कधी दिसणार नाही || ४ ||

Far off the port stands a ship in the seas
But the shore will never the mast of the ship
(Again the Poet has some secret that he will never bring out in the open for the world to see.)

तुझ्या कृपाकटाक्षाने झालो वणव्याचा धनी
त्याच्या निखार्‍यात कधी तुला जाळणार नाही || ५ ||

I have become an owner of forest fire, thanks to your kind glance.
But I will never burn you in it's embers.
(Poet is being sarcastic here and says God has not heeded to his pleas. Now he has lost everything but he will never point at Him for this.)

"That's The Way It Is" - Celine Dion

This is one of my favorite songs by Celine Dion. So meaningful... and such beautifully sung!


"That's The Way It Is"
Artist: Celine Dion

I can read your mind and I know your story
I can see what you're going through
It's an uphill climb, and I'm feeling sorry
But I know it will come to you

Don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you question me for a simple answer
I don't know what to say, no
But it's plain to see, if you stick together
You're gonna find a way, yeah

So don't surrender 'cause you can win
In this thing called love

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When life is empty with no tomorrow
And loneliness starts to call
Baby, don't worry, forget your sorrow
'Cause love's gonna conquer it all, all

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

When you want it the most there's no easy way out
When you're ready to go and your heart's left in doubt
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is

That's the way it is
That's the way it is, babe
Don't give up on your faith
Love comes to those who believe it
And that's the way it is.

But it rained - Parikarma

This was more than 10 years ago.

Back then, me and Namita were teenagers, and mani was a kid. We loved MTV, Channel V, and Star TV (which is Star World now). Each day after school/college, when mom n dad were in office, our afternoon was dedicated to watching music videos and hearing all sorts of songs in huge volume! We watched X-Files and Friends re-runs, and Highlander.

Golden days, yeah.

Here's a song that me and my sisters used to hear when we were way too young. Asmita may not have liked it as much, yet we played it loud. I was thinking of this song in office last month but couldnt remember the lyrics. A few days back, when I was in Asmita's car, she up'ed the volume of the radio amidst the traffic, and I was transformed back to my younger years. I used to love this song. It was touchy. The video was way too sad. (I was always a sad-songs-person.) When I read about it online I knew why.

BUT IT RAINED

BY PARIKARMA

Wrapped in a polythene tucked away safe in my mind
A little goodbye maybe or just a passing smile

The birds fly away to the southern sky searching a home
A bunch of paper flowers or a little boy left all alone
Can somebody hear me I'm screaming from so far away
Morning who will calm you now, the evening is eclipsed again

Well does life get any better
More yesterday than today
How I thought the sun would shine tomorrow
But it rained . . .

They justified the cause for which Daddy might give up his life
It's been so long, so long a time, still I miss Daddy at night
The ache is long gone but the never keeps staring along
The waters in the seas are high
and all the sand castles have drowned

Well does life get any better
More yesterday than today
How I thought the sun would shine tomorrow
But it rained . . .


You must hear the song, the music is heart touching....

Lyrics of Marathi Songs

Tired of searching lyrics of a lot of Marathi songs online... and the forums are so lame with no one to reply to interested people who want to know the meanings and words.

So now I am going to start off with the activity of uploading lyrics of songs I like (and yes, the ones I have understood).
There may be some errors and I would appreciate corrections too! :)
