There is a new genre in Bangla music called ‘Jibonmukhi Gaan’. Jibonmukhi gaan means ‘songs about life’. Sumon Chattapaddhay first started this type of music by writing songs about everyday life and ordinary people. Eventually Nachiketa Ghosh, Anjan Dutta and many others have followed Sumon’s footsteps. Shilajit is one of those ‘many others’. He writes, composes and sings. Even though none of my friends like the type of music Shilajit does (‘atel’ type, in their opinion), I find them quite interesting. :p His wordings are uncommon and the sound effects he uses in his tracks are exceptional (like the ping-pong ball dropping sound in the song ‘Ja Pakhi’, reminds me of my college canteen where we used to play table tennis). Anyway, I am posting few of his songs, check by yourself.

[Added on May 9th: I have uploaded 5 albums of Shilajit (Fish Fish, Red and White, Lal Matir Shorone, X Prem and Best of Shilajit) for a friend of mine. If you want to download them, go here. Its a zip file. Total size 211 mb]

Lyrics:
[Telephone conversation]
Ki shohoj bhulte para, tai na?
Pajor e bidhche je alpin
Mon amar moshal, shorir joley
Purey jak prithibi, rat din

Je kothay kobita jonmato
She kothay shiray shiray bish
Ek ekta kothar choboley
Kobitar khata puriye dish

She dhoway jolche matha, chokh
Shadh hoy tokew jalai
Jalate giyew bachai agun
Chai na baze khorcha tai

Buker ei khachay joluk agun
Bhalobasha shorbonasha hay
Etodine buzhte pari vasha
Tor ebar notun basha chai

Ja, ja pakhi urte dilam tokey
Ja ja ja khuje ne onno kono basha
Khuje ne onno kono mon
Bhule ja bonno bhalobasha
Ja, ja pakhi urte dilam tokey

Ek ekta din, ek ekta rat
Firey gechi roj roj, bariyechi hat
Toke dhore rakhte cheye hay
Darun dupur, dhushor bikel
Shorboshanto shondhay

Ei Buke akash rekhechilam
Ei shorir oshanto jongol
Khola mon’e urte parli na
Ei moner tui ki pabi tol!

Ja, ja pakhi urte dilam tokey, ja
Ja ja ja khuje ne onno kono basha
Khuje ne grihostho jibon
Bhule ja bonno bhalobasha
Ja, ja pakhi urte dilam tokey, ja

Ei buke bondi ki jani na
Jani na ki shukh ache rakha
Shudhu vabi tokhon firey ele
Ei khacha pabi ki ar faka!

Jongli pakhir palok porey
Dhora pore ar peli na par
Asman bhule khujish khacha
Jongol bhule khujish dar

Ja, Ja pakhi urte dilam tokey, ja
Khuje ne onno kono basha
Shukhe thak shekol bedhe mone
Bhule ja bonno bhalobasha
Ja, ja pakhi urte dilam tokey.

Lyrics:
Jonaki ta jolchilo miti miti shondher kacha adhare
Miti miti zhik mik, urchilo jeno thik ..jongli hirey
Ta uruk, zhore poruk ..purey moruk ei mon ta dekhe
Kintu je sheta hotath tara hoye jabe, ke ta janto!!

Poloke pakhna mele urey elo ruposhi tara
Jongla gacher virey, lukochuri khela shesh kore
Polok porey na shoja, takalo she heshe bhalobashe
Ta hashuk, bhalobashuk, kache ashuk she chayapoth beye
Kintu je she ta hotath tomar mukh hoye jabe, ke ta janto!!

Shopno meshano hashi, bhalobashi, bhalobeshe
Rat jaga fuler shubash, batash bhore abeshe
Ji jhi der gaan batashe symphony meshay
Fur furey hawa khali gaye chumu khay
Ta khak, mon nachak, madol bajak batash buk jurey
Kintu je she ta hotath jhor hoye jabe, ke ta janto!!

Duronto she tufan e duru duru tol toley mukh gelo kepe
Kisher taan-e ke jane keno she porlo eshe ei buker uthon e
Poruk she tip, jemon prodeep aguneri prem e porey jole
Rekhechi ador kore, firey giye porabo tomake
Rekhechi ador kore, she agun e poorabo amake
Rekhechi ador kore..
