রোমান্টিক গানের প্রতি আমাদের ভালোবাসা চিরদিনের। উদাস দুপুর হোক, একাকী বিকেল হোক প্রিয়জনের সান্নিধ্যে মধুর সন্ধ্যাই হোক, হৃদয়কে দোলা দিতে রোমান্টিক গানের জুড়ি নেই। তেমনি কয়েকটি রোমান্টিক গান নিয়ে আজ লিখবো।

১। অস্ট্রেলিয়ান সফ্‌ট রক ব্যান্ড Air Supply এর ১৯৮০ সালের Lost in Love এলবাম এর টপ চার্টে থাকা একটি গান All Out Of Love।

Artist: Air Supply
Album: Lost in Love
Year: 1980
Genre: Pop-ballad
Lyrics:

I'm lying alone with my head on the phone
Thinking of you till it hurts
I know you hurt too but what else can we do
Tormented and torn apart
I wish I could carry your smile and my heart
For times when my life feels so low
It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring
When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know

Chorus:
I 'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you
I know you were right believing for so long
I 'm all out of love, what am I without you
I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

I want you to come back and carry me home
Away from this long lonely nights
I'm reaching for you, are you feeling it too
Does the feeling seem oh so right
And what would you say if I called on you now
And said that I can't hold on
There's no easy way, it gets harder each day
Please love me or I'll be gone, I'll be gone

Chorus

Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?
Oh, what are you thinking of?
What are you thinking of?

Chorus(3x)


২। Chris de Burgh এর অসাধারণ একটি গান The Lady in Red। ১৯৮৬ সালের এলবাম Into the Light এর এই গানটি ইউকে, আয়ারল্যাণ্ড এবং নরওয়েতে প্রথম স্থানে থাকে এবং ইউএসএতে তৃতীয়। বলা হয়ে থাকে এই গানটি Chris de Burgh তার স্ত্রী Diane এর স্মরণে লিখেছিলেন।

Artist: Chris de Burgh
Album: Into the light
Year: 1986
Genre: Romance
Lyrics:

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your head that catch your eyes I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never for get, the way you look tonight

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, It took my breath away
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight

The way you look tonight
I never will forget, the way you look tonight
The lady in red
The lady in red
The lady in red
My lady in red (I love you.)


৩। ১৯৭৪ সালে গাওয়া John Denver এর Annie's Song গানটি সম্ভবত এযাবৎকালের সবচেয়ে বেশী শোনা রোমান্টিক গান। গানটি প্রকাশের সাথে সাথে টপ চার্টের প্রথম স্থানটি দখল করে নেয় ইউএসএ, ইউরোপ এবং আরো অসংখ্য দেশে। বলা হয়ে থাকে , এই গানটি ডেনভার লিখেছিলেন Ajax পর্বতমালায় একটি স্কী তে অংশ নিতে গিয়ে, মাত্র সাড়ে দশ মিনিটে। স্ত্রী Annie Denver এর প্রতি এই ভালোবাসার স্বাক্ষর আজো পৃথিবীর অজস্র প্রেমিক-প্রেমিকার ভালোবাসার প্রথম উপহার।

Lyrics:

You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like a mountain in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean
You fill up my senses
Come fill me again
Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let lay down beside you
Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

Let me always be with you
Come let me love you
Come love me again

৪। Eric Clapton এর ১৯৭৭ সালের Wonderful Tonight গানটি আমার খুবই পছন্দের। গানটি মূলত লেখা ১৯৭৬ সালের ৭ সেপ্টেম্বরে, Eric Clapton এর প্রাক্তন স্ত্রী, মডেল এবং ফটোগ্রাফার Pattie Boyd কে নিয়ে।

Lyrics:
It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."


৫। জাভেদ আখতারের লেখা এবং ওস্তাদ নুসরাত ফতেহ আলী খানের কণ্ঠের এই জোস গানটি আমার অতি পছন্দের। প্রিয়তমার সৌন্দর্য বন্দনা করতে গিয়ে এতো যে উপমা ব্যবহার করা যায় এই গানটি না দেখলে বোঝা যাবে না।

Husn-e-jaana Ki Tareef Mumkin Nahi
Afreen Afreen

Tu Bhi Dekhe Agar To Kahe Hum-nashi
Afreen Afreen

Aisaa Dekha Nahi Khubsoorat Koi
Jism Jaise Ajanta Ki Murat Koi

Aankhen Dekhi To Main Dekhta Reh Gaya
Jaam Do Aur Dono Hi Do Aatisha
Aankhen Ya Maikade Ke Do Baab Hain
Aankhen Unko Kahoon, Ya Kahoon Khwaab Hai
Aankhen Neechi Hui To Hayaa Ban Gayi
Aankhen Oonchi Hui To Dua Ban Gayi
Aankhen Uth Kar Jukhi To Adaa Ban Gayi
Aankhen Jhuk Kar Uthi To Fazaa Ban Gayi
Aankhen Jin Mein Hain Qaid Aasmaan-o-zamin
Nargisi Nargisi
Surmayi Surmayi

Lyrics:
I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips
A thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello!
Is it me you're looking for?
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted
And my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much
I love you

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again
How much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello!
I've just got to let you know
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying
I love you
(Music)
Hello!
Is it me you're looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying
I love you

Lyrics:
What is cinco cervezas I really don't know
But this pretty little senorita said it and I liked how it flowed
What is venga mi casa I really don't know
From the way that she smiled I could tell how the story would go

[chorus]

Chica bonita you pretty like a rose
Mi senorita mi love how you a pose
Dame un beso you hot and it shows
Toca mi vida and everybody knows repeat

[verse]

Baby baby baby
Tell me what you wanna do and where you wanna go
Ain't no need to rush it baby we can take it slow
I swear it must be cupid shooting arrows with his bow
I notice in your eyes a certain glow
Have me wondering now
Is it really me or tell me do you feel the same
I feel like I'm in love and I don't even know your name
I know what I am saying to you may sound pretty lame
Your love is like an everlasting flame

[hook chorus]

[verse]

Lovely lady would you
Please give me a signal so I know you understand
Maybe I should start by making gestures with my hand
Girl you're like a rising star and I'm your biggest fan
My sweet bonita diva with the tan
Got me thinking baby
We could make a life together on the ocean shore
Paradise is where you are I'm ready to explore
Can never get enough of you it's all about amour
And happiness is knocking at your door

[hook chorus]
