DOPE: "Aal Izz Well" from "3 Idiots" (2009)


Last week, I had the exciting opportunity to take part in the joyful fun-o-rama that is jury duty... that's totally sarcasm, by the way! I had to get up two hours earlier than I normally do and sit in a room for six hours. The only saving grace for the experience was the free Wi-Fi, which allowed me to watch "3 Idiots"... What a terrific movie!! To be honest, I was all set to watch "Don 2" which is streaming on Netflix, but it wasn't working on my phone, so I found this movie on YouTube, and I'm so happy that I gave it a chance!

Today's DOPE song choice is one that's really fun and inspirational... and I must admit that since watching the film I've said "Aal Izz Well" to myself from time to time. It really works!! Lyrics with English translation courtesy of Krazy Lyrics.



Jab life ho out of control
When your life get's out of control
Honthon ko kar ke gol
Round your lips
Honthon ko kar ke gol
Round your lips
Seeti bajaa ke bol
Whistle and say

Jab life ho out of control
When your life get's out of control
Honthon ko kar ke gol
Round your lips
Honthon ko kar ke gol
Round your lips
Seeti bajaa ke bol
Whistle and say

Aal Izz Well
All is well

Murgi kya jaane aande ka kya hoga
A hen does not know the future of it's egg
Are life milegi ya tawe pe fry hoga
Will it hatch or will it be turned into a omelet
Koi na jaane apna future kya hoga
Nobody knows our future

Honth ghuma
Round your lips,
Seeti bajaa
Whistle
Seeti bajaa ke bol
Whistle and say
Bhaiyaa All izz well
Bro, All is well

Arre bhaiyaa all izz well
Hey Bro, All is well
Arre chachu All izz well
Hey friend, all is well
Arre bhaiyaa all izz well
Hey Bro, All is well

Confusion hi confusion hai
There is confusion everywhere
Solution kuchh pata nahin
We don't know the solution
Solution jo mila to saala
If we get the solution,
Question kya tha pata nahin
We don't know the question

Dil jo tera baat baat pe ghabraaye
If your heart get's tense on every matter
Dil pe rakh ke haath use tu fuslaa le
Keep a hand on your heart and persuade it
Dil idiot hai pyaar se usko samjha le
Heart is an idiot,persuade it with love

Honth ghuma
Round your lips,
Seeti bajaa
Whistle
Seeti bajaa ke bol
Whistle and say
Bhaiyaa All izz well
Bro, All is well

Arre bhaiyaa all izz well
Hey Bro, All is well
Arre chachu All izz well
Hey friend, all is well
Arre bhaiyaa all izz well
Hey Bro, All is well

Scholarship ki pi gaya daaru
You have drunk alchohol from the money of scholarship,
Gham to phir bhi mitaa nahin
But still grief did not vanish
Agarbattiyan raakh ho gayi
You have light many candles
God to phir bhi dikha nahi
But still you haven't seen God

Bakra kya jaane uski jaan ka kya hoga
A goat does not know what will happen to it
Seekh ghusegi ya saala keema hoga
In which dish it might be turned
Koi na jaane apna future kya hoga
Nobody knows our future

Honth ghuma
Round your lips,
Seeti bajaa
Whistle
Seeti bajaa ke bol
Whistle and say
Bhaiyaa All izz well
Bro, All is well

Arre bhaiyaa all izz well
Hey Bro, All is well
Arre chachu All izz well
Hey friend, all is well
Arre bhaiyaa all izz well
Hey Bro, All is well

Jab life ho out of control
When your life get's out of control
Honthon ko kar ke gol
Round your lips
Honthon ko kar ke gol
Round your lips
Seeti bajaa ke bol
Whistle and say

Aal Izz Well
All is well

Murgi kya jaane aande ka kya hoga
A hen does not know the future of it's egg
Are life milegi ya tawe pe fry hoga
Will it get life or will it be turned into a omelet
Koi na jaane apna future kya hoga
Nobody knows our future

Honth ghuma
Round your lips,
Seeti bajaa
Whistle
Seeti bajaa ke bol
Whistle and say
Bhaiyaa All izz well
Bro, All is well

Arre bhaiyaa all izz well
Hey Bro, All is well
Arre chachu All izz well
Hey friend, all is well
Arre bhaiyaa all izz well
Hey Bro, All is well

Ha!

Music Therapy with Miss Moon

" I have accepted fear as a part of life – specifically the fear of change. I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back."
~ Erica Jong

" Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it."
~ Bill Cosby

" Where fear is, happiness is not."
~ Seneca


One of the most frustrating feelings in life is knowing what needs to be done, knowing that fear is holding you back, and not knowing how to get over it. Do you just leap and hope that the net will appear? Do you take a baby step in the right direction? What to do?

I'm 35, and I'm rapidly passing the "there's still time..." phase of my life. So I'm going to leap and instead of hoping the net will appear I will know it. I'm tired of ambling down this path we call life, kept stagnant by fear and unhappy.


I'm going for what I want in life. I'm going to make moves, rock the boat a bit, and my heart will quake with fear, but I will know I'm alive. So for today's song choice, I am sharing one of my favorite tunes by Erykah Badu, "Didn't Cha Know" May it serve was a reminder that life is to be lived, not feared.



Oh hey...

Ooh hey
I'm trying to decide
Which way to go
I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere

Ooh hey
I'm trying to decide
Which way to go
I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere

Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Tried to move but I lost my way
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Stopped to watch my emotions sway
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Knew the toll, but I would not pay
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Cause you never know where the cards may lay

Time to save the world
Where in the world is all the time
So many things I still don't know
So many times I've changed my mind
Guess I was born to make mistakes
But I ain't scared to take the weight
So when I stumble off the path
I know my heart will guide me back

Ooh hey
I'm trying to decide
Which way to go
I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere

Ooh hey
I'm trying to decide
Which way to go
I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere

Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Tried to run but I lost my way
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Stopped to watch my emotions sway
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
Knew the toll but I would not pay
Didn't cha know, didn't cha know
I said ya never know how the cards may lay

Love is life, and life is free
Take a ride on life with me
Free your mind and find your way
There will be a brighter day

Love is life, and life is free
Take a ride on life with me
Free your mind and find your way
There will be a brighter day

A Little [DIGITAL UNDERGROUND] for a Saturday Night


I'm back with my "D" song choice for The ABCs of Good Music. I decided to take it back for this Saturday Night and pick an old school classic that is sure to make you get up and groove.... but if you don't want to, it's cool. You know... "Doowutchyalike"! LOL
