00:30This is Murtaza Jafri's film, and he asked me to sing it, so I thought I'd give it a try.
00:45A new field will open up, a new area will open up, so why not give it a try.
00:51And the song is very good, composed by Lal Sinha.
00:58Bipin Bahar has written it, he's sitting with us.
01:02It's a good song, and it suits my voice as well.
01:06It's not a jazzy song, it's a serious song, so I'm very happy to sing it.
01:12Sir, is this like a ghazal?
01:17No, it's not a ghazal, it's a situation song.
01:22The song will come in the background, in the entire film.
01:26The ghazal has nothing to do with the situation.
01:29I'd like to request you to sing a couple of lines.
01:36The song is...
01:57When the sun rises, it's dawn.
02:01When the sun rises, it's dawn.
02:10What are your thoughts, sir?
02:12Will there be a change in Bhujpuri music industry after your voice?
02:19After the release of the song...
02:22Because the film should be a hit.
02:27Everything hits.
02:29Donkey, horse, goat, everything hits.
02:33If the film is a hit, the song will be released.
02:36And if the song is released, I'll have a name in Bhujpuri.
02:39I'll get more songs.
02:41If the film is a flop, it'll be difficult.
02:43So you intend to continue with Bhujpuri?
02:45Yes, why not?
02:46If it's my job, I'll sing in Bhujpuri, Hindi or Urdu.
02:50I'll sing anything.
02:51What would you like to say about the music of the film?
02:56The music is very good.
02:58It suits the voice.
03:00It's like the voice.
03:02The arrangement is good.
03:20Thank you, sir.
03:51You've sung a lot in Hindi.
03:53How is it difficult to sing in Bhujpuri?
03:56The pronunciation is different in Hindi.
03:59Hindi is very close.
04:02Sanskrit originates from Hindi.
04:05When the sun rises, it's morning.
04:08When the sun rises, it's morning.
04:10It's simple.
04:12We sit on our farm and sing.
04:15Who put a cot on our farm?
04:18It's simple.
04:19It's not difficult.
04:21It's time to wake up.
04:26Did you sing in Bhujpuri before or are you singing for the first time?
04:32No, I'm singing Bhujpuri for the first time.
04:35I've heard a lot of Bhujpuri songs.
04:37I've heard a lot of Bhujpuri cassettes.
04:40And we have a lot of recordings in our studio, so we keep listening to them.
04:44What was the reason that you started in Bhojpuri?
04:50What is the reason? It is a matter of coincidence.
04:52When everything happens by coincidence,
04:54when it happens by coincidence, you will come in this line.
04:56There is no reason.
04:58The reason could be that you have to make a lot of money,
05:01that is also not there, or you have to shoot a big arrow, that is also not there.
05:05I met a person by coincidence.
05:07We used to meet every day.
05:09One day he told me that he is singing.
05:11I said, okay, I will sing.
05:12Sir, I would like to ask you a question.
05:14You said that a lot of people here have started the discrimination of caste.
05:18By the way, there is a tradition of language as well.
05:21You have taken Ghazals, Hindi songs, Bhojpuri.
05:28How do you manage the language?
05:31It is not difficult to manage the language.
05:34You have to work a little, you have to learn.
05:37Like today, while singing, I made him sit.
05:41I told him that if the pronunciation is wrong, tell me, I will sing again.
05:45There is nothing to be ashamed of.
05:47If you want to learn, you can learn everything.
05:49There is no limit to the music.
05:51There is no boundary to the music.
05:53The music is the same.
05:55The language will keep changing.
05:57You will learn the language and keep singing.
05:59Do you have more songs in this film?
06:01No, not yet.
06:03I have only got one, with difficulty.
06:05Let's see if I can get something else.
06:17When the flowers are awake, it is morning.
06:19If we are talking about morning, they have started singing at night as well.
06:33Let's continue.
07:03When the flowers are awake, it is morning.
07:08Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake.
07:13Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake.
07:18When the flowers are awake, it is morning.
07:24When the flowers are awake, it is morning.
07:29Stay awake, stay awake, stay awake.
