Cloud Vagabond

I grew up with radio and vividh bharti. And so, I am familiar with hindi oldies, melodies.
Once in a while, I get reminded of them. Like today, when boulder sky is clouded grey, the earth is fresh with rain, and from my balcony I see half-hidden mountains, the valley shadowed white with low lurking clouds. It is a scenery which uplifts my spirit, makes me feel happy. And so, here's a song for the lurking cloud:

itna na mujhse pyaar badha
ke main ek badal awara
janam janam se hoon saath tere
hai naam mera jal ki dhara

which means

don't become so in love with me
that I am a cloud vagabond
since many lives I have with you been
that my name is stream of water

You can listen to the full song here (second last song, the one which says talat, is actually the duet talat and lata).
If you understand hindi, it has beautiful lyrics.
Enjoy.
