Ms-interpreted

Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, toh nahi Without you, i have no complaints With life. Does it mean you are the only complaint in my life? Or does it mean that my only complaint in my life is that you are not with me. I think this is ambiguous and open to interpretation. Or does it mean, I dont have any complaints that you are not with me, but then life is not life without you.

When its not your native language, the intepretations we sometimes make based on context or several other things could be really funny or completely jibberish This one goes like this, a man is singing to his son and he says 'tujsee naraaz nahi zindagi hirenu hu me, teri masoom sawalon se pareshan hu me' basically Life is not angry with you, and I am suprised, I am irritated with your innocent questions. Who in their right mind would say something like this. Is he saying, you are so innocent and young that life is not angry with you yet? Or is he saying you are so young, you dont have anything yet to be angry with life. So my young mind pondered over it. But who cares what it means, the song was soothing and we did sing for many years and one day it dawned to me. He wasnt siging to his son at all, he was telling life I am not angry with you, I am just surprised at the things that you throw at me. This one did bowl me over.

Another one, misinterpreted. This one goes like this 'Pairon me na saya koi sar pe na sayi re'. There is neither shade for my feet nor my head. Sayi is it feminine gender for saya? Or is it poetic licences something added for the tune and meter. Another far fetched one maybe, a refernce to Sai's blessings maybe. Something like I dont have gods blessings on my head Then it dawned one fine day, she means ink, red ink that signifies that she is married. She means she has no shade to rest her feet nor refuge of marriage. Maybe this one is more far fetched than the other. Maybe misinterpreted or interpreted as seems fit.

Has it ever happened that you have been singing a song all your life and you realise that you have been singing it wrongly. We had an old cassette at home. Not sure how we had it. Did dad buy it? Did we borrow it? Not sure. But we had it and we played those songs over and over again. And we knew all the words and we sang it at the top of our voice, everytime we played it. We were singing 'Jahaan charya miljaye wahi raat gujar jaye'. If you had asked me the meaning, I would have told you, wherever I find shelter there I spend my time. Strangely, I havent heard that song in a while. This is one of the songs that I have never seen it picturized. It was something that was played in a tape recorder as we called it. I search for that song in youtube and realise that it was never Charya it was always Chaar yaar 4 friends. I would say our version makes more sense.
