There are some musical themes in films that create a tremendous impact and stay on with you for your entire life. “The God father”, “James Bond” films, “The exorcist”, to name a few in English and “Sindhubharavi”, “Taal” to name some in our own Indian languages. The “Taal” theme is mesmerising, romantic and addictive. The same theme found space in A.R.R’s “The Journey Home” from “Bombay Dreams”. I have used the “Sarah Brightman” (The Phantom of the Opera fame) modified version from her album “Harem” as that was the karaoke availabe. I had to increase the scale by 5 semitones to suit my range.

Ghar Chale Aao…….Saawariya

The journey home is never too long
Your heart arrives before the train
The journey home is never too long
Some yesterdays always remain

I’m going back to where my heart was light
When my pillow was a ship, I sailed through the night

The journey home is never too long
When open arms are waiting there
The journey home is never too long
There’s room to love and room to spare
I want to feel the way that I did then
I think my wishes through before I wish again

Not every boat you come across is one you have to take
Now, sometimes standing still can be the best move you ever make

Aaja Saawariya…………

The journey home is never too long
Home hopes to heal the deepest pain
The journey home is never too long
Your heart arrives before the train

Oo…. Saawariya…………
