Once upon a time, and a long long time ago, there lived……….never mind, to get the story short, I remember Murali had sent me this Tammil song called ‘Sonnalum‘, heard it and fell in love with it. A year ago I sent it to Ali and he loved it as well. We were inspired to write Hindi lyrics to it, which we did and because of lack of good karaoke track we never finished the recording. Recently I requested Anil Bs ji to make a track and very graciously he made an amazing track for me.
Here is our version of Tammil :Sonnalum” called ‘Sun-na le’. Sun-na le is not a translation of Tammil song but a beautiful tune driven flow of thoughts in our voices. Pease keep your hearts and minds open to grasp the variations and style.
Again thank you Murali for introducing me to this song, thank you Ali for singing with me and Anil-ji for making such a beautiful track for us, without your track we would have never been able to record and present it to the people.
Hope all of you enjoy it.
Original Composition :A.R.Rehman
Original Singers: Harini and Unni Krishnan
Sung by : Ali & Swati
Lyris by : Ali & Swati

kya baat hain...i have become a fan of yours...after hearing you sing...i feel that I have miles to go before I can claim I can sing...
your voice sounds beautiful...as always.
This is just beautiful Swati (as always). Ali has also sung well. I thought the rendition was extremely expressive. Loved it. I wish you would post songs more frequently. If you have some mailing list, do add me to it so I follow your posts :-)

Swati, Ali, congrats both.. its a fantastic song.. great result. Please can one of you send me the MP3 of this track.
Beautiful!
Very refreshing, for someone like me who had listened to the original song several times!
Swati,
Thanks to you, I had the Tamil version in my iPod for so long and every time I heard it, I wondered how will it sound in your beautiful voice.
This version is better than I could ever imagine.
Good luck to you both.

Guys..Thank you so much for your encouragement. All of us enjoy compliments but getting them from people that understand music is what we strive for.
Surendra,a compliment coming from you means a lot to me.
Thank you so much for the encouragement.

Wah wah kya baat hai. Awesome effort. I like how u guys have improvised on the nuances. Splendid idea. And Ali the bit in the 2nd stanza u do is fab. Although I think Swati u could have sounded a bit more full-throated through the stanzas.
This is not a Karaoke track. How was the music created?
Hey Everyone, Thank you all so much for supporting us and our music!

Why would I not be introducing you to songs of such melody if u can do such a fantastic job ? Every note that you guys have sung gave me the feeling of savoring every bite of Chocolate Brownie with ice cream topping presented on a hot skillet with a dash of melted butter on it. It only makes me hungry with every bite. Kudos !
hi,
good one :)
I have blogged about your blog :D please visit indianmusicblog.com
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
That was very creative of you guys to come up with hindi lyrics that fit so perfectly.
good singing too, but I think your voice is more suited to singing at lower octaves. may be reducing the pitch would make it sound perfect.
Hey, I like your voice. You and your readers might like this video that a friend sent me. It's a Bollywood version of an iTunes spot. Keep up the good work!

तुम्ही गायलेलं रसूल अल्लाह गाणं ऐकायला मिळालं. फार वर्षांपूर्वी एकाने हे ह्रुदयनाथ मंगेशकरांच्या आवाजात ऐकल्याचं सांगितलं. तेव्हापासून ह्या गाण्याचा शोध घेत होतो. आज तुमच्यामुळे ऐकायला मिळालं.गाणं १ नंबर आहे. मनापासून धन्यवाद.
