Melodious song from movie Sujata
Movie: Sujata (1959)
Lead Actors: Sunil Dutt, Nutan
Music: Sachin Dev Burman (S. D. Burman)
Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri
Singer: Sachin Dev Burman (S. D. Burman)
Director: Bimal Roy
The song features Sunil Dutt and Nutan standing near a river as a boatman sings in the background just as dusk is falling. They express their love for each other as a gentle breeze blows to make the moment more special.
The woman is shy and says very little. She says a lot with her expressive eyes but does not much in words. The song captures her feelings and expresses them beautifully.
Translation :
Listen my friend, listen my darling, listen my companion
If you were a big Peepal Tree, I would be an evergreen vine
I would happily wrap myself around your neck as a garland
If you were an ocean and I were your river
I would be glad to give myself up and become a part of you.
