Saahil Tak
MY RATING 8/10
ReflectionsAngaraag Mahanta aka Papon is famous for his traditional Assamese Music and one of my favourite singers coz' of his impeccable voice..!! Pakistani Coke Studio has come up with many seasons till now.. Comparatively 2nd Season of Indian Coke Studio went great! 'Saahil Tak' is though repetitive but composed beautifully with lyrics to inspire! Including music composer Nitin Sawhney on Guitar.
This is a song about crossing to a different shore and how the boatman is the guiding spirit who ferries people across the river. It talks about how the boatman is the only beacon of light amidst the swirling darkness of the river. And about how his presence gives migrants a sense of hope & calm.

Lyrics (English Translation)
Thaam lo patvaar tanik ....
Meri naav sambhal jaaye
Tum ho khenvanhaar
Toh tufaan palat jaaye
Just hold the helm
So that My boat is steady
You are Helmsman
Then storm is overturned
Baandh lo nazar me yun,
Ke zindagi savar jaaye
Inn balaao se main keh dun,
Dur se hi laut jaaye
Fasten the look like this
That life becomes better
I'll tell these problems
To go away by itself from far
Thaam lo patvaar tanik ....
Meri naav sambhal jaaye
Tum ho khenvanhaar
Toh tufaan palat jaaye
Just hold the helm
So that My boat is steady
You are Helmsman
Then storm is overturned
Baandh lo nazar me yun,
Ke zindagi savar jaaye
Inn balaao se main keh dun,
Dur se hi laut jaaye
Fasten the look like this
That life becomes better
I'll tell these problems
To go away by itself from far
Maajhi koi geet suna kar
Mujh ko meethi neend sula do
Aur bhor hone se pehle
Mera saahil paas bula do.
Sing a song Helmsman
Give me sweet sleep
And before the dawn
Call my destination closer
Maajhi koi geet suna kar
Mujh ko meethi neend sula do
Aur bhor hone se pehle
Mera saahil paas bula do.
Sing a song Helmsman
Give me sweet sleep
And before the dawn
Call my destination closer
Thaam lo patvaar tanik ....
Meri naav sambhal jaaye
Tum ho khenvanhaar
Toh tufaan palat jaaye
Just hold the helm
So that My boat is steady
You are Helmsman
Then storm is overturned
Baandh lo nazar me yun,
Ke zindagi savar jaaye
Inn balaao se main keh dun,
Dur se hi laut jaaye
Fasten the look like this
That life becomes better
I'll tell these problems
To go away by itself from far
Thaam lo patvaar tanik ....
Meri naav sambhal jaaye
Tum ho khenvanhaar
Toh tufaan palat jaaye
Just hold the helm
So that My boat is steady
You are Helmsman
Then storm is overturned
Baandh lo nazar me yun,
Ke zindagi savar jaaye
Inn balaao se main keh dun,
Dur se hi laut jaaye
Fasten the look like this
That life becomes better
I'll tell these problems
To go away by itself from far
Maajhi koi geet suna kar
Mujh ko meethi neend sula do
Aur bhor hone se pehle
Mera saahil paas bula do.
Sing a song Helmsman
