lyrics

शापित हीरा

प्राचीन काल से पूजे गए हीरे
अजेयता और सुरक्षा के लिए वंदित रहे हीरे
फिर मुझे, हीरून के नूर कोहिनूर को
कैसे विजय का प्रतीक बना दिया
भाई को भाई का... विद्रोही बना दिया
हिंसा … हत्या …पीड़ा से मेरा सफर सज़ा दिया
मुझे हीरून के नूर कोहिनूर को...
एक विजय का प्रतीक बनाया दिया
गोलकोंडा … तुगलक … फ़ारसी
साम्राज्य … मुझे हासिल कर… हुए फनाह
मुगल ... अफगान खानात ... मराठा ...लोधी
साम्राज्य … मुझे हासिल कर… हुए फनाह
सिख … खिलजी ... ब्रिटिश ... दुर्रानी
साम्राज्य … मुझे हासिल कर… हुए फनाह
बेटे को पिता का …कटाक्ष ... धोखेबाज़ी
है ये एक श्राप ... मुझे हासिल कर … हो जयो फनाह जिसे ये हीरा हासिल होगा
उसे दुनिया हासिल होगी … लेकिन साथ
हासिल होगी उसकी सारी विपतियां
केवल भगवान या एक महिला पे ही येह …
बेपरवाही से संवरेगा

SHAAPIT HEERA

Since ancient times diamonds have been revered
For invincibility and protection, they have been respected
Why then, the radiance in diamonds – Kohinoor,
why was I made a symbol of conquest?
Made brother rebel against brother
Violence, murder, torture, decorated my journey
I, the radiance in diamonds, Kohinoor
Was made into a symbol of conquest
The Golconda, Tuglak and Persian Empires
found me, and got destroyed
The Kingdoms of Mughal, Afghan Khanat, Maratha, Lodhi
found me, and got destroyed
The Sikh, Khilji, British and Durrani Empires
found me, and collapsed
Son to father... mutilation, treachery
This is a curse. Find me... and get destroyed
“He, who owns this diamond,
will own the world, but will also know all of its misfortunes.
Only God or a woman can wear it with impunity.”

about

Orkestar Kriminal Montreal, Québec

Along with their Yiddish gangster repertoire, Orkestar Kriminal has absorbed the Rebetika Mortika hash den anthems of the 1930s Greek underground. They can also be found performing in Khmer, Spanish, Danish, Romani, Ladino, Russian, Vietnamese, Hebrew or whatever other tongue might attract them. So long as the tune is catchy and a little shady, they'll give it their best shot! ... more
