"Aaj Jaane Ki Zid Na Karo" - Shankar Tucker ft. Rohini Ravada

I wanted to share this video, another one of Shankar Tucker's amazing creations. Though the clarinet isn't as prominent as in the other video I posted, it still has a neat part. Even more beautiful, though, is this woman's singing as well as the lyrics. Also, check out his YouTube page, the Shrutibox, full of his incredible work.

I hope you enjoy "Aaj Janne Ki Zid Na Karo" featuring Rohini Ravanda on voice and Shankar Tucker on clarinet, keyboards, and tabla. (download audio HERE)

Lyrics

(Translation by Ayesha Kalijuvee)

Tonight, don’t insist on leaving

Sit here close to me

I will die 

I will be lost 

Don't say such things 

Tonight, don’t insist on leaving

Just ponder for a second

Why shouldn't I stop you? 

When my life leaves every time you go

I swear to you, my love  

Listen to my one request 

Tonight, don’t insist on leaving

Life is trapped in time's prison but 

These are the few moments that are free 

By losing them, my love 

Don't start a life of regret 

Tonight, don’t insist on leaving
