Let's  go  fly  a  kite!  

The Separation Circle

 

 

 

  Aap Jaisa Koi
And You'll Be Like Clementine
A Social Conscience
Better Late Than Never?
Daddy's Girl Has Fallen Down
I'd Forgotten Just How Beautiful You Are
Kite
Miss Japan?
Neighbourhood Watch
One Out, One In
Out Of Your Shade
Step Into Twilight
You Are There
You Never Miss?

 

This is a really famous song yet completely unfamiliar to many westerners.  An early 1980s Bollywood disco hit for British-born Pakistani teenager Nazia Hassan, I loved its optimistic bounce & decided to put my own spin on it, with versions in both Hindu/Urdu & English.  "If somebody just like you came into my life, my life would be made."   I recorded 1 version in Hindi & 1 English translation; the former is probably the best cover version I've ever done.

If somebody just like you came into my life my life would be made.

Flower to spring
Spring to orchard
Heart to heart
and body to body.
Everybody wants union of bodies and hearts.
I wish that you'd feel the same way about me.
My life would be made.

If somebody just like you came into my life my life would be made.

Human am I.
An angel I'm not.
 It's way too early for you to be leaving.
My lonely heart, without love, can't manage on its own.
There's no-one like you.
My heart finds you in all things.
My life would be made.

If somebody just like you came into my life my life would be made.
