Pranchi, a mob is coming to thrash you.

00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,120
I'll smash your face
if you sing my song again!

3
00:04:56,210 --> 00:04:57,870
Your song?

4
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,670
It's our song!
-It's ours!

5
00:04:59,750 --> 00:05:02,420
Can you even sing it?
-Enough, Pranchi!

6
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:03,670
Relax, Pranchi.
-Get lost.

7
00:05:03,750 --> 00:05:05,710
Come on, sing it!
-Pranchi, you…

36
00:08:08,250 --> 00:08:10,960
He and his friends went to an African…

37
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:16,580
Kenya. They danced
with the natives, had their food…

38
00:08:16,670 --> 00:08:18,880
He wants to show it to the world.

That's it, nothing more.

40
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,290
He wants to add some
movie songs to the video.

41
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:32,130
One, 'A thousand toddy shops in the sky'.

42
00:08:32,210 --> 00:08:36,250
Next, 'Is this a dream from the heavens?'

43
00:08:37,250 --> 00:08:41,000
And, 'Hey, beautiful'.

44
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,170
He wants these three songs.

45
00:08:44,250 --> 00:08:48,830
You place them according to the visuals.

46
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,460

Where did you find this?

84
00:12:09,670 --> 00:12:13,540
It's from Pereira. He shot it in Kenya.

85
00:12:13,620 --> 00:12:15,870
I'm editing it.

86
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,420
Didn't you ask him?

87
00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:22,210
"Stop playing Holmes and
finish the edit!"

88
00:12:22,290 --> 00:12:24,170
That's what he said.

89
00:12:24,250 --> 00:12:25,580
Alright, but…

90
00:12:25,670 --> 00:12:28,830
You can ask him about
the song and its meaning.

91
00:12:30,370 --> 00:12:34,170
Can't call him without the edit.
An editor's life is hard.

92
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,920
What about your grandma?
What did she say about the song?

93
00:12:48,420 --> 00:12:50,790
I bow to thee, O Sun.

94
00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:53,330
O, sustainer of all life.

95
00:12:53,420 --> 00:12:56,210
Like a child before you…

96
00:13:04,870 --> 00:13:06,670
Like a child…
-What?

97
00:13:06,750 --> 00:13:09,420
Meaning. His aunt taught her.

98
00:13:09,500 --> 00:13:12,040
She said it's praising the Sun God.

99
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,420
Who taught her aunt?

100
00:13:15,830 --> 00:13:18,960
She only had time to bitch about the aunt.

101
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,460
Something's wrong between them.

102
00:13:25,370 --> 00:13:27,750
But you could still ask her.

103
00:13:27,830 --> 00:13:29,000
Let me explain.

104
00:13:31,540 --> 00:13:34,710
There's some conflict
between Grandma and Great Aunt.

105
00:13:34,790 --> 00:13:36,210
It's not about inheritance.

106
00:13:37,420 --> 00:13:40,500
For such strong feelings, my guess is…

107
00:13:40,580 --> 00:13:43,000
Grandpa and Great Aunt had an affair.

108
00:13:44,420 --> 00:13:48,620
Maybe Grandma had an affair.
An affair it is, for sure.

109
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,500
Dude…

110
00:13:54,580 --> 00:13:57,750
Enough of your family's sleaze.

111
00:13:57,830 --> 00:14:00,460
Don't judge me, hear this.

112
00:14:00,540 --> 00:14:05,420
Great Aunt was a charmer.
She had many affairs, local and foreign.

113
00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:13,790
Interesting.

114
00:14:13,870 --> 00:14:15,120
International.

115
00:14:21,830 --> 00:14:23,250
Dude.
-Yes?

116
00:14:23,330 --> 00:14:26,290
You are a… scoundrel.

117
00:14:26,370 --> 00:14:27,670
Alright, dear.

118
00:14:34,210 --> 00:14:35,500
Careful with the ash.

119
00:14:36,620 --> 00:14:38,210
I know.

120
00:15:31,250 --> 00:15:33,500
Why are you obsessing over it?

121
00:15:33,580 --> 00:15:36,080
This won't fetch us sandwich money, even.

122
00:15:44,460 --> 00:15:45,290

00:15:48,250 --> 00:15:49,670

124
00:15:51,210 --> 00:15:52,750
Here, and there.

125
00:15:54,290 --> 00:15:56,210
Almost the same.

126
00:15:58,790 --> 00:16:01,620
How did it travel? What does it mean?

127
00:16:01,710 --> 00:16:03,170

130
00:16:07,790 --> 00:16:09,040
It's pointless.

00:16:17,870 --> 00:16:21,000
What if we put it on my YouTube channel?

132
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,710

Let's start with P V Mohanan?

175
00:19:54,750 --> 00:19:56,330
[mumbles in sleep]

176
00:20:10,790 --> 00:20:13,540
It certainly seems old.

177
00:20:13,620 --> 00:20:15,740
Look at the language.

178
00:20:15,830 --> 00:20:17,950
His grandma said it's Sanskrit.

179
00:20:19,790 --> 00:20:21,990
Do you think it's Sanskrit?

180
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,160
When did Sanskrit originate?

181
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,700
If you go back 5000 years

182
00:20:27,790 --> 00:20:31,120
our ancestors would be
gazing at stars in awe.

183
00:20:34,410 --> 00:20:36,910
What language is this, then?

184
00:20:36,990 --> 00:20:38,450
I don't know.

185
00:20:38,540 --> 00:20:42,990
You know how I first heard it?
My father was singing it.

186
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,240
He'd sing it when he was drunk.

187
00:20:46,330 --> 00:20:50,700
He said, singing it while drunk

188
00:20:50,790 --> 00:20:53,040
he felt good, like he was swearing.

189
00:20:54,580 --> 00:20:58,660
That's precisely my question.
We have three questions.

190
00:20:58,740 --> 00:21:01,450
How do you know it? What's its meaning?

191
00:21:01,540 --> 00:21:03,450
And, can you sing it for us?

192
00:21:03,540 --> 00:21:06,290
Can you say its meaning first?

193
00:21:06,370 --> 00:21:11,660
How can we know its meaning,
without knowing where it's from?

194
00:21:14,370 --> 00:21:17,080
I can tell you one thing.

195
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,160
Many people sing it.

196
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,620
There are many versions,
with slight variations.

197
00:21:23,830 --> 00:21:27,160
Interestingly, I remember two versions.

198
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,870
One was a pentecostal preacher.
Almost screaming it, in the street.

199
00:21:31,950 --> 00:21:35,240
The same song. And another version,
at a temple.

200
00:21:36,790 --> 00:21:39,040
Won't they know its meaning?

201
00:21:40,370 --> 00:21:41,660
I'm not sure.

202
00:21:43,370 --> 00:21:44,620
Maybe they know.

203
00:21:44,700 --> 00:21:46,040
Just a moment.

204
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:48,790
I need to go.
-Alright.

205
00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:50,120
Coming.
-The mic?

206
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,490
I'll get it.

207
00:21:53,620 --> 00:21:55,740
This is something big.

208
00:21:58,410 --> 00:22:00,120
A true follower of Jehovah…

209
00:22:01,830 --> 00:22:04,040
Won't he know his divine hymn?

210
00:22:08,620 --> 00:22:10,120
Do you know Jehova?

211
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:13,160
Do you know his power?

212
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,910
How is that?

213
00:22:16,990 --> 00:22:18,870
Your grandma knows this song.

214
00:22:21,330 --> 00:22:23,990
Means your grandma knows Jehova.

215
00:22:25,950 --> 00:22:28,080
That's why she's praising Jesus.

216
00:22:30,700 --> 00:22:31,910
He is supreme.

217
00:22:32,990 --> 00:22:34,410
He is exalted.

218
00:22:37,790 --> 00:22:39,450
Praise the Lord.

219
00:22:39,540 --> 00:22:40,790
Praise the Lord.

220
00:22:42,580 --> 00:22:45,200
Are you saying it's a church song?

221
00:22:45,290 --> 00:22:46,910
A devotional song?

222
00:22:50,700 --> 00:22:52,990
Sister. The church has no song.

223
00:22:55,290 --> 00:22:57,700
The song says…
-It says what?

224
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:01,990
Kindness.

225
00:23:03,830 --> 00:23:06,120
Towards the path of the Lord's messenger…

226
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,620
A river of celestial melody.

227
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,240
Quite the miraculous universe!

228
00:23:14,740 --> 00:23:16,790
I thought the King of…

229
00:23:16,870 --> 00:23:17,830
Got it?

230
00:23:17,910 --> 00:23:19,790
Oh dear!

231
00:23:19,870 --> 00:23:21,870
What language is it, brother?

232
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:25,160
It's Hebrew.

233
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,870
The language that exalts
the path of Lord's messenger.

234
00:23:33,990 --> 00:23:36,040
Old Hebrew. It's tough.

235
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,370
The meaning?

236
00:23:39,870 --> 00:23:40,790
O, Jesus…

237
00:23:41,950 --> 00:23:45,660
Fill me with your spirit…
-These are the lines?

238
00:23:45,740 --> 00:23:46,950
Yes.

239
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,410
Sister…

240
00:23:48,490 --> 00:23:50,290
Don't distract me from the spirit.

241
00:23:50,370 --> 00:23:52,490
We won't distract you.

242
00:23:52,580 --> 00:23:58,120
O, Jesus, come into my heart.
Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna!

243
00:24:01,910 --> 00:24:03,160
Can you sing the song?

244
00:24:14,490 --> 00:24:17,580

This is the song we sing.

253
00:24:39,660 --> 00:24:41,490
One of my aunts,

254
00:24:41,580 --> 00:24:43,790
she's a devout believer

255
00:24:43,870 --> 00:24:46,490
of Lord Ganesha.

256
00:24:47,990 --> 00:24:51,870
Lord Ganesha has another name, Vinayaka.

257
00:24:51,950 --> 00:24:53,410
You know that, right?

258
00:24:55,540 --> 00:24:57,290
Aren't you Hindu?

259
00:24:57,370 --> 00:24:58,660
Not particularly.

260
00:25:00,660 --> 00:25:03,370
What I meant is…

261
00:25:03,450 --> 00:25:07,490
You know Ganesha
is one of our gods, right?

262
00:25:07,580 --> 00:25:09,910
Of course.
-Alright.

263
00:25:09,990 --> 00:25:13,740
My aunt sings this. All the time.

264
00:25:13,830 --> 00:25:15,540
What's its meaning?

265
00:25:16,740 --> 00:25:19,540
It's a song in praise of God.

266
00:25:19,620 --> 00:25:22,540
A devotional song?
-Exactly.

267
00:25:22,620 --> 00:25:24,620
Yes, for those with devotion.

268
00:25:24,700 --> 00:25:27,990
I don't know what it'd be for you.

269
00:25:29,490 --> 00:25:31,080
What's its meaning?

270
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,450
That's what I said, a devotional song.

271
00:25:35,540 --> 00:25:38,450
In praise of God…
-Can you sing it?

272
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,660
The woman in the video
is singing it wrong.

273
00:25:43,740 --> 00:25:47,240
It's actually not like that.

274
00:25:47,330 --> 00:25:48,450
I'll sing it.

He wanted to bless me.

294
00:27:35,550 --> 00:27:36,840
Dude.
-Yeah?

295
00:27:39,010 --> 00:27:41,590
There could be many explanations for it.

296
00:27:41,670 --> 00:27:44,720
Here's my theory.
-Go ahead.

297
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,970
People who know the song
can be categorised into two.

298
00:27:49,050 --> 00:27:51,880
One, those who believe it's a Christian devotional.

299
00:27:51,970 --> 00:27:56,170
Two, those who believe it's a Hindu thing.

300
00:27:56,260 --> 00:27:58,920
Sun, Lord Vinayaka etc. belong to that.

301
00:28:00,260 --> 00:28:01,880
There's a third one.

302
00:28:01,970 --> 00:28:03,920
They've heard it, know it, sing it.

303
00:28:04,010 --> 00:28:08,260
In the toilet, toddy shop, and fields.

304
00:28:08,340 --> 00:28:10,420
Like P V Mohanan's father.

305
00:28:11,010 --> 00:28:11,880
You're right.

306
00:28:25,340 --> 00:28:27,090
But its true meaning?

307
00:28:41,970 --> 00:28:43,130
Are you okay?

308
00:28:43,220 --> 00:28:45,630
Us? Yeah, we're okay.

309
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,010
Is there any money in it?

310
00:28:48,090 --> 00:28:50,510
No, we're doing it out of curiosity.

311
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,260
Curiosity.

312
00:28:53,340 --> 00:28:56,170
Can't you do something useful?

313
00:28:56,260 --> 00:29:00,170
Deforestation, global warming, terrorism.

314
00:29:00,260 --> 00:29:02,550
Moral policing is a hot topic.

315
00:29:02,630 --> 00:29:04,380
No takers for those.

316
00:29:04,470 --> 00:29:06,380
Nature is dead, anyway.

317
00:29:07,550 --> 00:29:08,720
No takers.

318
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,510
Nobody is concerned about the world.

319
00:29:11,590 --> 00:29:13,630
Uh… is documentary really this?

320
00:29:15,470 --> 00:29:17,630
Alright, ask. Let debate happen.

321
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,470
Nothing to debate,
just three questions. Shall I?

322
00:29:21,670 --> 00:29:23,970
Three questions. Alright, ask.

323
00:29:24,050 --> 00:29:25,800
How do you know the song?

324
00:29:28,090 --> 00:29:30,720
I know. That's the answer.

325
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,840
I mean…
-What do you mean?

326
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,050
How did I learn the song? Right?

327
00:29:36,130 --> 00:29:37,720
But what did you ask?

328
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,260
How do I know it? Question is unclear.

329
00:29:40,340 --> 00:29:42,550
Yes, that's it. Please go on.

330
00:29:42,630 --> 00:29:47,550
I don't think you have any idea.
It's really old.

00:29:47,630 --> 00:29:49,130
Roughly…

332
00:29:49,220 --> 00:29:51,300
Around 400 years old.

333
00:29:51,380 --> 00:29:52,380
You knew this?

334
00:29:52,470 --> 00:29:56,090
Cameraman, you?
-No, sir. We're not so informed.

335
00:29:57,420 --> 00:29:59,840
Have you heard about Negrito people?

336
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,380
The question was,
how did you learn the song?

337
00:30:02,470 --> 00:30:04,880
Getting there, don't jump the gun.

338
00:30:08,260 --> 00:30:09,760
My mother taught me.

339
00:30:23,220 --> 00:30:24,300
Gimme a minute.

340
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,260
Why did he cry? Is he acting?

341
00:30:33,590 --> 00:30:36,970
No, dude. Maybe he remembered his mother.

342
00:30:37,050 --> 00:30:39,550
People are different.

343
00:30:39,630 --> 00:30:42,880
I want the documentary to be like a film.

344
00:30:42,970 --> 00:30:46,670
Do you have a soap in mind?
-Get lost, you snob.

345
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,050
Something got in my eye.

346
00:30:54,550 --> 00:30:56,470
Ok, sir. Next question?
-Go ahead.

347
00:30:56,550 --> 00:30:58,300
Can you tell us its meaning?

348
00:30:59,550 --> 00:31:05,260
Seeing the tough syllables
and words, people think

349
00:31:05,340 --> 00:31:08,300
it doesn't have any meaning.

350
00:31:08,380 --> 00:31:14,550
But when we sing a song,
we must know what it means.

351
00:31:14,630 --> 00:31:17,880
Humans are like that, right?
-Bloody hell.

352
00:31:18,970 --> 00:31:22,050
I don't understand why
you're after the song.

353
00:31:22,130 --> 00:31:25,590
Cameraman, you're turning it a lot.
Do you know the meaning?

354
00:31:25,670 --> 00:31:28,420
I can turn the camera
without knowing it, sir.

355
00:31:28,510 --> 00:31:30,470
I'm not as smart as you.

356
00:31:30,550 --> 00:31:34,920
You have to know. You have to be smart.
How can you ask questions?

357
00:31:35,010 --> 00:31:35,920
How?

358
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:41,670
I know this song. I know many…
-What language is it?

359
00:31:45,590 --> 00:31:48,550
Are you testing me? Huh?

360
00:31:48,630 --> 00:31:53,590
You think I'll sit before you
without knowing even that?

361
00:31:53,670 --> 00:31:56,420
Do I look like an idiot?

362
00:31:56,510 --> 00:31:57,420
What the…

363
00:32:02,130 --> 00:32:03,800
Urdu.

364
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,630
It's archaic Urdu.

365
00:32:07,130 --> 00:32:09,510
You had any idea? You, cameraman?

366
00:32:09,590 --> 00:32:10,920
Even heard about Urdu?

367
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:12,880
No, sir.

368
00:32:15,220 --> 00:32:18,630
You want to know the meaning?
I'll tell you.

369
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:24,510
It's a traditional song
sung while hulling rice.

370
00:32:24,590 --> 00:32:27,380
My mother got it from her grandmother.

371
00:32:27,470 --> 00:32:31,010
I'll pass it to my children.
They, to their children.

372
00:32:31,090 --> 00:32:35,260
Thus, me and my ancestors
are part of an oral tradition.

373
00:32:36,670 --> 00:32:38,130
And its meaning?

374
00:32:38,220 --> 00:32:44,170
Meaning… Actually,
the lines are very poetic.

375
00:32:44,260 --> 00:32:46,720
Let me explain.

376
00:32:49,550 --> 00:32:52,550
<i>♪ Yaluna tharish, yaluna tharish ♪</i>

377
00:32:52,630 --> 00:32:55,510
That is, a moonlit night.

378
00:32:55,590 --> 00:32:59,380
Come to me, shedding your robes…

379
00:32:59,470 --> 00:33:03,300
I'll give you warmth,
I'll give you kisses…

380
00:33:03,380 --> 00:33:04,840
Fantastic meaning.

381
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,630
Can you tell us the overall meaning?

382
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,090
That is…

383
00:33:10,550 --> 00:33:11,470
Love.

384
00:33:11,550 --> 00:33:16,300
Love that blossomed between
grandma and grandpa while hulling rice?

385
00:33:16,380 --> 00:33:17,220
What?

386
00:33:18,220 --> 00:33:21,880
What did you say?
-Grandma and grandpa…

387
00:33:21,970 --> 00:33:26,010
You are an absolute idiot!
No intelligence, no knowledge.

388
00:33:26,090 --> 00:33:28,340
Is this your culture?

389
00:33:28,420 --> 00:33:32,050
My grandma didn't love anyone!
Who the hell are you?

390
00:33:32,130 --> 00:33:33,550
Your father.
-What?

391
00:33:33,630 --> 00:33:34,840
Your father.

392
00:33:36,340 --> 00:33:38,800
He… told my… father!

393
00:33:51,300 --> 00:33:52,670
What happened, dear?

394
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,420
He… abused my father!
-Get out!

395
00:33:57,130 --> 00:34:01,260
They're leaving, don't worry.
-Abused my father…

396
00:34:01,340 --> 00:34:02,800
They're leaving.

397
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:04,880
Nobody has abused my father.

398
00:34:05,970 --> 00:34:08,630
Abused my father!

399
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:10,050
Don't cry.

400
00:34:10,130 --> 00:34:13,340
They're leaving. They're leaving.

401
00:34:17,130 --> 00:34:19,420
What?
-What?

402
00:34:19,510 --> 00:34:21,920
He was totally in the wrong.

403
00:34:22,010 --> 00:34:24,130
Bursting with arrogance. Asshole.

404
00:34:26,090 --> 00:34:30,340
People won't always say
what we want them to say.

405
00:34:30,420 --> 00:34:32,090
I have nothing to say.

406
00:34:35,130 --> 00:34:37,300
We'll get all kinds of responses.
-Let me…

407
00:34:37,380 --> 00:34:40,840
Don't interrupt me.
-Sorry, continue.

408
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,590
We'll nod our heads
to everything they say.

409
00:34:45,670 --> 00:34:47,590
Same with the next person.

410
00:34:49,260 --> 00:34:51,380
We don't need to correct anyone.

411
00:34:55,380 --> 00:34:59,420
Anyway, now we know the song
isn't just devotional.

412
00:35:00,470 --> 00:35:03,420
Okay, hear me out.
It isn't in our language.

413
00:35:03,510 --> 00:35:05,130
It came from outside.

414
00:35:05,220 --> 00:35:07,380
How did 'Tsamina mina' come?

415
00:35:07,470 --> 00:35:12,050
We sing, 'Waka waka, eh eh'…

416
00:35:12,130 --> 00:35:15,880
Do we know what 'tsamina mina'
or 'waka waka' mean? No.

417
00:35:15,970 --> 00:35:17,760
We just sing, that's it.

418
00:35:18,590 --> 00:35:21,840
Shakira didn't whisper it
in your ears, right?

419
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,050
You heard it through TV and phone.

420
00:35:24,130 --> 00:35:26,880
Maybe it was spread by balladeers.

421
00:35:28,010 --> 00:35:29,920
Balladeers…

422
00:35:31,090 --> 00:35:33,720
They were patronised by rulers.

423
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,470
They mostly sang praises.

424
00:35:37,550 --> 00:35:40,050
I don't think this is like that.

425
00:35:40,130 --> 00:35:41,630
What does it mean, then?

426
00:35:43,590 --> 00:35:44,340
Love.

427
00:35:50,720 --> 00:35:51,800
Dude.

428
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,260
Thousands of years ago,

429
00:35:54,340 --> 00:35:56,380
when it was all one continent,

430
00:35:56,470 --> 00:36:01,720
in just 25 days, our ancestors
could get to Egypt

431
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:07,340
and get back after lunch
at uncle Pharaoh's house.

432
00:36:07,420 --> 00:36:09,470
That means…
-Means…

433
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,550
Songs are scattered all over
paths that humans took.

434
00:36:36,510 --> 00:36:38,010
Are you ready?

435
00:36:38,090 --> 00:36:40,970
When can I see this?
-Right after we finish.

436
00:36:43,720 --> 00:36:46,260
I also had a camera.

437
00:36:46,340 --> 00:36:48,420
The kind you could take photos with.

438
00:36:48,510 --> 00:36:52,840
Dad broke it saying I took photos
of Sharadechi next door.

439
00:36:56,340 --> 00:36:58,420
Shall we ask about the song?

440
00:36:58,510 --> 00:37:00,340
Sure.
-Three questions.

441
00:37:01,720 --> 00:37:04,970
How do you know this song?
I mean, where did you learn it?

442
00:37:06,380 --> 00:37:09,340
I learnt it long ago.

443
00:37:09,420 --> 00:37:11,800
When I was small, Dad…

444
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,670
You must've seen a flour mill
on the way. Nani Amma's mill.

445
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,550
He sent me there. For work.

446
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,800
Nani Amma used to sing well.

447
00:37:22,010 --> 00:37:23,970
She'd sing this song often.

448
00:37:25,130 --> 00:37:27,590
Nani Amma had an affair.

449
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,300
With an Arab guy, the Sheikh's son.

450
00:37:31,380 --> 00:37:32,630
He used to visit often.

451
00:37:33,970 --> 00:37:35,720
Smelling of attar.

452
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,470
He'd sing this song.
That's how I learnt it.

453
00:37:38,550 --> 00:37:40,970
Did she tell you it's from the Arab?

454
00:37:41,050 --> 00:37:44,380
She didn't need to.
I could see for myself.

455
00:37:46,670 --> 00:37:48,920
Isn't it wrong to spy on them?

456
00:37:54,170 --> 00:37:56,010
I didn't look too much.

457
00:37:56,090 --> 00:37:59,880
You must've listened to it
a lot to learn it.

458
00:38:01,470 --> 00:38:02,300
Yeah?

459
00:38:07,050 --> 00:38:08,840
Second question?
-Sure.

460
00:38:10,220 --> 00:38:12,920
What's the meaning of the song?

461
00:38:13,010 --> 00:38:17,630
I was curious from the start,
about what it meant.

462
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,420
Nani Amma did ask the Arab.

463
00:38:21,510 --> 00:38:24,090
That's how I came to know.

464
00:38:24,170 --> 00:38:26,420
You were quite the peeping tom.

465
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,050
So it means…?
-Oh, yes.

466
00:38:36,130 --> 00:38:39,590
Meaning… this is what I understood.

467
00:38:39,670 --> 00:38:45,550
I think it's a mother telling stories
and singing lullabies to a child.

468
00:38:45,630 --> 00:38:49,920
Maybe Nani Amma and the Arab
had a mother-son bond.

469
00:38:50,010 --> 00:38:53,170
We don't know why he taught her the song.

470
00:38:59,090 --> 00:39:00,800
No, it wasn't like that.

471
00:39:03,090 --> 00:39:05,010
Okay, third question.

472
00:39:07,470 --> 00:39:08,800
Can you sing it for us?

473
00:39:18,340 --> 00:39:19,260
I'll sing.

474
00:39:23,090 --> 00:39:25,800

Something like this.
It's been a while.

479
00:39:44,470 --> 00:39:47,170
Is this the song you wanted?

480
00:39:47,260 --> 00:39:48,590
Yes, this is it.

481
00:40:27,670 --> 00:40:29,590
Ouch!
-What happened?

482
00:40:31,300 --> 00:40:33,380
Something's in my eye.
-Let me see.

483
00:40:35,590 --> 00:40:36,670
Open.

484
00:40:38,630 --> 00:40:40,130
Dude, wash your shirt.

485
00:40:42,050 --> 00:40:43,260
But I washed it.

486
00:41:00,340 --> 00:41:01,760
Gone?
-Yes.

487
00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:14,840
Is it Arabic?

488
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,260
Nope. Arabic isn't like this.

489
00:41:17,340 --> 00:41:19,670
What's Arabic like?

490
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,800
What's Arabic like?

491
00:41:25,340 --> 00:41:28,380
If you examine the words,
you'll understand.

492
00:41:29,630 --> 00:41:32,630
The words are not from this country, even.

493
00:41:34,130 --> 00:41:36,670
Our grandpa… his name was Mammoonj.

494
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,510
He'd come after prayers at the mosque,

495
00:41:40,590 --> 00:41:43,420
gather us kids, and sing us songs.

496
00:41:44,470 --> 00:41:46,510
I heard it first from him.

497
00:41:47,970 --> 00:41:54,420
He believed it was a song about Allah
and it was in Arabic.

498
00:41:54,510 --> 00:41:57,420
I too thought the same at first.

499
00:41:57,510 --> 00:41:58,760
Later…

500
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:02,380
Due to God's grace, I could learn Arabic.

501
00:42:02,470 --> 00:42:06,170
That's when I realised
it wasn't Arabic at all.

502
00:42:07,510 --> 00:42:10,920
The style…
-You're saying it isn't from here?

503
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:13,920
Absolutely.

504
00:42:15,470 --> 00:42:17,170
This…

505
00:42:17,260 --> 00:42:19,760
isn't a devotional song,
like many believe.

506
00:42:22,010 --> 00:42:25,090
It's a song sung many years ago,
by unknown people.

507
00:42:27,260 --> 00:42:31,550
Some things on earth can't be connected,
however hard you try.

508
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:34,300
This song is one of those.

509
00:42:35,470 --> 00:42:41,260
This song doesn't belong
to a particular religion.

510
00:42:42,340 --> 00:42:47,970
Your grandma, my grandpa,
they heard it from somewhere, someone.

511
00:42:48,050 --> 00:42:50,130
What about its meaning?

512
00:42:50,220 --> 00:42:52,800
Meaning…

513
00:42:55,340 --> 00:42:59,840
Depending on who's singing,
the words change.

514
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:03,800
Maybe we can derive some meaning
from all those words.

515
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,340
My mother loved to sing this song.

516
00:43:09,170 --> 00:43:13,340
She thought that the song is in praise of

517
00:43:13,420 --> 00:43:16,050
the Prophet. Peace be upon him!

518
00:43:17,380 --> 00:43:19,380
That it praises the Prophet.

519
00:43:19,470 --> 00:43:23,920
That we get closer
to Allah when we sing it.

520
00:43:25,170 --> 00:43:26,550
But…

521
00:43:26,630 --> 00:43:28,840
What I think is…

522
00:43:31,470 --> 00:43:36,090
I think it speaks of
the hardships of that time.

523
00:43:36,170 --> 00:43:38,590
His grandma says it's a folk song.

524
00:43:39,670 --> 00:43:42,090
Folk song? Maybe it is.

525
00:43:42,170 --> 00:43:44,720
But whose folk song?

526
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:54,630
Damn.

527
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:56,720
Yeah.

528
00:43:57,970 --> 00:44:00,510
He was good, right?
-Yeah, he was amazing.

529
00:44:04,010 --> 00:44:08,670
Wow, a song that came from elsewhere,
now ruling the charts here.

530
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,880
We have two Arabic leads now.

531
00:44:18,090 --> 00:44:23,090
Maybe it came from
the ancient Arab traders.

532
00:44:23,170 --> 00:44:24,920
But it isn't Arabic.

533
00:44:27,300 --> 00:44:28,760
It's not.

534
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:32,170
But they could've got it from elsewhere.
-Possible.

535
00:44:39,130 --> 00:44:40,970
Dude.
-Yeah?

536
00:44:41,050 --> 00:44:43,470
Isn't Vasco da Gama overrated?

537
00:44:43,550 --> 00:44:46,510
Arabs were trading with us
long before him.

538
00:44:46,590 --> 00:44:49,090
Every corner had an Arab trader.

539
00:44:50,420 --> 00:44:54,260
But Gama came alone, like Rocky bhai.

540
00:44:54,340 --> 00:44:56,840
That's the difference.

541
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,260
Did you water the plants, Rocky bhai?

542
00:44:59,340 --> 00:45:03,220
I'll water them in the evening.
-Evening?

543
00:45:03,300 --> 00:45:06,630
What the… plants must be
watered in the evening.

544
00:45:06,720 --> 00:45:09,170
Why don't you ever do anything on time?

545
00:45:14,010 --> 00:45:15,670
Dude.
-Yeah?

546
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,300
Let me tell you what I think.
-Go ahead.

547
00:45:19,510 --> 00:45:24,840
A story that breaks everything will come.
Someone will come with such a story.

548
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:26,340
Let them come.

549
00:45:27,340 --> 00:45:29,670
Someone has come. Food I hope.

550
00:45:34,380 --> 00:45:38,380
Can we get a pseudo-intellectual?
Who can read between the lines?

551
00:45:40,260 --> 00:45:43,670
A pseudo who knows its origins.
-Yeah.

552
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,880

I'm not much of a singer.

563
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:24,840
It's been a while since I sang.

564
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,050
Back in the day I've sang at many venues

565
00:46:29,460 --> 00:46:30,840
and won many prizes.

566
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,000
It's nice.
-Thank you!

567

How do you know this song?

568
00:46:36,170 --> 00:46:38,250
I wrote this song.

569
00:46:41,170 --> 00:46:43,550
You wrote it?
-Yes.

570
00:46:44,710 --> 00:46:47,630
But many know this song. His grandma too.

571
00:46:47,710 --> 00:46:50,550
Maybe from one of my performances?

572
00:46:50,630 --> 00:46:54,800
I've won many prizes
for this, in light music.

573
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,880
You wrote this as a child?
-Yes.

574
00:46:59,960 --> 00:47:04,920
When I was at my grandma's, as a child…

575
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:11,380
We had a mango orchard. One evening,
grandma and I were sitting there

576
00:47:11,460 --> 00:47:14,630
A mango fell into my hands.

577
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,920
I wrote it lamenting about the mango.

578
00:47:20,420 --> 00:47:23,590
That song brought you here.

579
00:47:23,670 --> 00:47:26,050
What's the meaning between the lines?

580
00:47:26,130 --> 00:47:28,250
Meaning…

581
00:47:28,340 --> 00:47:31,670
O, mango tree, have you no shame?

582
00:47:31,750 --> 00:47:35,380
Fragrance outside, nectar inside

583
00:47:35,460 --> 00:47:38,090
When you taste the nectar…
-Throw the seed away.

584
00:47:41,500 --> 00:47:45,710
Have you been to such a beautiful place?
-No, never.

585
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,170
Isn't it beautiful?

586
00:47:47,250 --> 00:47:49,710
The vines, leaves, trees…

587
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,840
the greenery… Isn't it beautiful?

588
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,880
We must live in such places.

589
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,210
You city people

590
00:47:57,300 --> 00:48:00,420
see nature only during tours.
-Yes, first time ever!

591
00:48:18,460 --> 00:48:19,630
Look, over there!

592
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:23,380
Wordsworth's daffodils!
-Get lost!

593
00:48:28,670 --> 00:48:31,170
First time seeing mango trees!
-Oh yeah!

594
00:48:32,380 --> 00:48:33,960
Never seen plants, either!

No problem! I can drive properly

No need to drive.

00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:26,300
How did I learn the song?

618
00:50:26,380 --> 00:50:29,920
My mentor Johny asan gave it to me.

619
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,000
Johny asan?

620
00:50:32,090 --> 00:50:35,420
Know him?I was with him in Fort Kochi.

621
00:50:35,500 --> 00:50:40,590
He owned Chinese fishing nets,
many of them.

622
00:50:40,670 --> 00:50:42,630
I used to operate three of them.

623
00:50:42,710 --> 00:50:45,210
Chinese net operator! It was amazing.

624
00:50:47,550 --> 00:50:50,090
He sang it often. That's how I learned.

625
00:50:50,170 --> 00:50:52,300
He's Anglo-Indian.

626
00:50:52,380 --> 00:50:55,630
Half Cherai, half Portuguese.

627
00:50:55,710 --> 00:50:57,960
CR7! Yaay!

628
00:51:00,130 --> 00:51:02,170
Is it Portuguese?
-Yeah.

629
00:51:03,170 --> 00:51:06,380
Ask him not to look behind so often.

630
00:51:06,460 --> 00:51:08,300

00:51:13,300 --> 00:51:16,750
Still, you can look ahead and drive.
-Don't worry.

634
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:20,050

635
00:51:20,130 --> 00:51:22,800
When we pull the Chinese net

636
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:27,300
we'll get a good catch
if we sing it, he said.

637
00:51:27,380 --> 00:51:29,130
Sang it a lot, poor chap.

638
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:36,420
Following his advice I bought seven nets.

639
00:51:36,500 --> 00:51:40,130
I sang the song, along with my buddy Appu.

640
00:51:40,210 --> 00:51:41,800
You got a good catch?

641

My foot!

642
00:51:45,380 --> 00:51:50,500
I had to dismantle them when the govt said
it was blocking the river's flow.

643
00:51:51,670 --> 00:51:53,460
And the song's meaning?

644
00:51:53,550 --> 00:51:55,380
It's a fishing song.

You know, the mermaids…

646

Why so stressed? Relax, sit properly.

Don't worry, he's a clean-sheeter.

655
00:52:52,670 --> 00:52:57,460
Son, I've worn these robes
for a while now.

656
00:52:57,550 --> 00:52:59,710
You know me, right?

657
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:04,130
He was a college kid then.

658
00:53:04,210 --> 00:53:06,340
Let's see.

659
00:53:06,420 --> 00:53:09,340
I don't care if he's the judge.

660
00:53:09,420 --> 00:53:13,090
I want to meet him in person.
-We came at the wrong time.

661
00:53:15,420 --> 00:53:17,630
What's the status?

662
00:53:17,710 --> 00:53:22,630
I lost all my goodwill due to this case.
-Chance for an 'angry man' interview.

663
00:53:22,710 --> 00:53:25,880
In front of all those people.
-Will he allow the camera?

664
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:30,840
No respect for senior advocates!
-Shall we come back later?

665
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:32,800
We've come so far, let's try.

666
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,130
You understand?

667
00:53:34,210 --> 00:53:35,710
He's coming. Ask him!

668
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,460
You ask.
-Ask, ask.

669
00:53:37,550 --> 00:53:41,380
Let him come back.
-Where did he go?

670
00:53:41,460 --> 00:53:42,960
There he comes.

671
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,590
What's your case?
-Sir, we called you yesterday.

672
00:53:52,670 --> 00:53:54,050
Many people call me.

673
00:53:54,130 --> 00:53:56,670
Sir, it's about the song.

674
00:53:58,050 --> 00:54:00,170
We spoke yesterday.

675
00:54:00,250 --> 00:54:02,420
Oh, yes. Right.

676
00:54:24,630 --> 00:54:26,380
Understood?
-No, sir.

677
00:54:26,460 --> 00:54:29,670
You won't. I'm just coming to the point.

678
00:54:30,710 --> 00:54:35,710
Men of Mevelil House have been
Chavittunatakam artists for generations.

679
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:37,880
I'm one of them.

680
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:42,170
So is it a Chavittunatakam song?

681
00:54:42,250 --> 00:54:45,880
My grandpa was a
great Chavittunatakam artist.

682
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,880
You may know him. Mevelil Pathrose.

683
00:54:56,300 --> 00:55:00,210
Alexander the Great is no more.

684
00:55:00,300 --> 00:55:04,460
Who will inherit his empire
and his riches now?

685
00:55:05,500 --> 00:55:08,800
There is no one greater than Alexander.

686
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:10,840
Alexander the Great.

687
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,300
What's this?
-Got it?

688
00:55:37,250 --> 00:55:40,250
The song is related to art.
-Art, okay.

689
00:55:40,340 --> 00:55:41,840
Are you sure?

690
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:45,090
Sure?

691
00:55:49,210 --> 00:55:51,130
Not on the plants, no!

692
00:55:51,210 --> 00:55:53,130
Physical assault… Big Boss!

693
00:55:53,210 --> 00:55:55,800
I'll show you what physical assault is.

694
00:56:40,670 --> 00:56:42,710
This book has the song
you're searching for.

695
00:56:51,250 --> 00:56:55,460
This is a book by Gabriel Zeussi,
patron of migrants.

696
00:56:55,550 --> 00:56:57,800
He was Italian.

697
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:02,710
Born in an aristocratic family,
he gave his riches to the poor.

698
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:07,500
He gave them his land, gave them
life lessons, taught them songs.

699
00:57:07,590 --> 00:57:09,670
He was a good singer too.

700
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,550
Zemos, his disciple,

701
00:57:14,630 --> 00:57:19,170
compiled his songs.
This is one of 17 songs in that book.

702
00:57:20,500 --> 00:57:23,960
How long ago was this?

703
00:57:24,050 --> 00:57:26,420
The book is around 400 years old.

704
00:57:26,500 --> 00:57:27,500
Songs of Gabriel

705
00:57:27,590 --> 00:57:29,960
So, Father Gabriel wrote this song?
-Yes.

706
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:35,210
But many know the song.
It's even sung in temples.

707
00:57:35,300 --> 00:57:38,250
Father Gabriel traveled far and wide.

708
00:57:38,340 --> 00:57:44,090
He lived amongst people of all religions,
prayed for them, and taught them songs.

709
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:49,170
So the song is in Italian?

710
00:57:49,250 --> 00:57:50,090
Yes.

711
00:57:59,210 --> 00:58:00,800
It's related to faith.

712
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,460
Isn't your Dad's name Sukumaran?

713
00:58:05,550 --> 00:58:07,250
Shut up, dude.

714
00:58:07,340 --> 00:58:09,710
Seems like the song
is mostly related to faith.

715
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:28,090
A song…

716
00:58:29,380 --> 00:58:33,170
is brushing against
the shore of the Arabian sea for years.

717
00:58:36,670 --> 00:58:39,880
Everyone who found it
thinks it's their song.

718
00:58:41,250 --> 00:58:43,300
Wonderful story.
-Get lost.

719
00:58:49,500 --> 00:58:50,460
It's not Italian.

720
00:58:52,340 --> 00:58:54,340
I don't know Italian, but it's not.

721
00:58:57,130 --> 00:59:00,170
Hey, let me ask you something.

722
00:59:00,250 --> 00:59:04,130
Won't we be questioning the faith
of a lot of people?

723
00:59:07,460 --> 00:59:10,090
We won't tell them
their beliefs are wrong.

724
00:59:11,210 --> 00:59:16,840
But we can look at them with a smug smile.

725
00:59:19,550 --> 00:59:21,750
What say?
-Yes, possible.

728
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:50,760
Hello, Pereira?

729
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:53,840
How are you? Are you happy?

730
00:59:56,420 --> 00:59:59,170
Dude, please. Don't do that.

731
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:02,880
Don't abuse my family.

732
01:00:02,970 --> 01:00:05,550
The edit is done.

733
01:00:05,630 --> 01:00:08,260
Just need to put your name in the title.

734
01:00:10,220 --> 01:00:11,220
Dude, by the way…

735
01:00:12,300 --> 01:00:15,880
How do you spell Pereira?
With one R, or two?

736
01:00:17,300 --> 01:00:19,220
Okay, that R.

737
01:00:22,090 --> 01:00:23,670
Is your new place set up?

738
01:00:25,670 --> 01:00:27,550
I see. Where is it?

739
01:00:29,470 --> 01:00:30,300
I see.

740
01:00:32,010 --> 01:00:34,970
Oh, is it raining? Alright.

741
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:40,920
Dude…

742
01:00:41,010 --> 01:00:43,630
What about that song?

743
01:00:46,090 --> 01:00:46,920
I see.

744
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:49,670
Okay.

745
01:00:51,050 --> 01:00:52,760
Can you send it to me?

746
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:53,880
On WhatsApp.

747
01:00:55,050 --> 01:00:55,880
Okay.

748
01:00:57,590 --> 01:00:59,920
I'll send you a payment request.

749
01:01:02,510 --> 01:01:03,800
Not possible?

750
01:01:05,340 --> 01:01:07,670
Three hundred? Well… okay.

751
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:10,510
Yeah?

752
01:01:10,590 --> 01:01:12,010
Okay.

753
01:01:12,090 --> 01:01:16,800
By the way, don't forget,
send it to me on WhatsApp.

754
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:18,590
Okay.

Phew.

756
01:01:20,510 --> 01:01:22,340
What did he say?
-He'll send it.

757
01:01:22,420 --> 01:01:25,300
He'll send me the contact.

758
01:01:25,380 --> 01:01:28,220
He was their local guide or something.

759
01:01:28,300 --> 01:01:29,920
We can ask him.

760
01:01:30,010 --> 01:01:31,420
A local?
-Yes.

761
01:01:31,510 --> 01:01:35,130
He knows the song?
-He's from there, right?

762
01:01:35,220 --> 01:01:37,720
He must know the language. We'll call him.

763
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:42,220
I see, did he take them there?
-Yeah.

764
01:01:43,300 --> 01:01:47,260
You'll talk to him in English, right?
-Does he speak English?

765
01:01:47,340 --> 01:01:49,420
He said he speaks English.

766
01:01:49,510 --> 01:01:50,800
You talk to him.

767
01:01:52,550 --> 01:01:53,720
Call him.

768
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,010
He'll send ₹ 300. Let's have mandi.

Hey, rich boy.

Kaushik bhai, how do you know the song?

771
01:02:02,750 --> 01:02:04,750
It's our song.

772
01:02:04,830 --> 01:02:07,080
Does he know Malayalam?

773
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,580
He knows trade-related Malayalam.

774
01:02:09,660 --> 01:02:13,080
He says 'Your bill is ₹ 2912, setta'
like a pro.

775
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:14,750
I know a little. Tell me.

776
01:02:16,460 --> 01:02:20,460
How do you know this song?

777
01:02:20,540 --> 01:02:24,000
We sing this while cooking in our room.

778
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,790
One of our customers, Akhil bhai

779
01:02:27,870 --> 01:02:30,540
made a video of it which became viral.

780
01:02:30,620 --> 01:02:33,500
But everyone knows the song.

781
01:02:33,580 --> 01:02:36,460
They stole it. The song
belongs to our village.

782
01:02:37,660 --> 01:02:39,830
What did he say?

783
01:02:39,910 --> 01:02:43,080
He says the others stole it.
-I see.

What song are you talking about?

860
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:36,620
Hi, Dazzle.

861
01:08:36,710 --> 01:08:39,830
This is Anupama here. How are you?

862
01:08:39,910 --> 01:08:42,370
I'm good. How are you?

863
01:08:42,460 --> 01:08:44,540
I'm good too. Thanks for asking.

864
01:08:44,620 --> 01:08:48,120
It's Anu-pama?
-Yes, you said it right.

865
01:08:48,210 --> 01:08:50,460
Anu-pama.
-You can call me Anu.

866
01:08:50,540 --> 01:08:52,540
Anu is a very good name.

867
01:08:52,620 --> 01:08:56,250
I hope Pereira has told you
about our documentary work.

868
01:08:56,330 --> 01:08:58,660
Yeah, about the song?

869
01:08:58,750 --> 01:09:02,460
Yes, it's about that song, Yaluna Tharish.

870
01:09:05,620 --> 01:09:09,460
Can you tell me more about it?
How did you come across the song?

871
01:09:09,540 --> 01:09:14,790
I've heard someone play it many times.

872
01:09:14,870 --> 01:09:20,080
It's been around for many…
for a long time.

873
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,750
For a long time.
For generations, actually.

874
01:09:23,790 --> 01:09:26,370
By any chance, do you know
the meaning of the song?

875
01:09:30,910 --> 01:09:33,910
I've been asking around.

876
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,160
But nobody knows.

877
01:09:37,250 --> 01:09:43,410
Even the tribes don't know its meaning?
-No, no.

878
01:09:43,500 --> 01:09:45,540
Not even the tribes.

879
01:09:47,750 --> 01:09:49,660
Actually.

880
01:09:50,710 --> 01:09:54,620
Nice talking to you, Dazzle.
Thanks for your time.

881
01:09:54,710 --> 01:09:57,040
Thank you, have a nice one.

882
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:10,960
We thought it's their song.

883
01:10:26,250 --> 01:10:27,870
How do we end this?

884
01:11:00,540 --> 01:11:01,370
Hello?

885
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:04,790
Hello?

886
01:11:06,910 --> 01:11:08,910
Hi, chetta.

887
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:10,120
Yes, I can hear you.

888
01:11:18,290 --> 01:11:21,870
I couldn't talk to you much that day.

889
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:25,120
The election campaigners
had come, that's why.

890
01:11:25,210 --> 01:11:27,580
So, did you find it?

891
01:11:27,660 --> 01:11:30,410
You found the meaning?
-Too many meanings.

892
01:11:30,500 --> 01:11:33,460
We don't know which one is real.

893
01:11:33,540 --> 01:11:35,790
Seems like an ancient chant.

894
01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:41,290
We couldn't even find
what language it is.

895
01:11:41,370 --> 01:11:43,500
The song has 34 words.

896
01:11:43,580 --> 01:11:46,660
The words have their own meanings.

897
01:11:46,750 --> 01:11:49,750
But the words are from various languages.

898
01:11:49,830 --> 01:11:54,660
People say it's Portuguese,
Arabic, Italian, Mexican…

899
01:11:54,750 --> 01:11:59,620
Some say it's Sanskrit. Like that it goes.

900
01:11:59,710 --> 01:12:02,540
Indeed, some words are
from those languages.

901
01:12:02,620 --> 01:12:06,460
But the other words
are from other languages.

902
01:12:06,540 --> 01:12:10,870
So we can't say
it's from a particular language.

903
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:16,660
I think there was once a mother language
made up of all these languages.

904
01:12:16,750 --> 01:12:18,910
It's a far-fetched thought.

905
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:23,870
I called you because I remembered
my teacher, Kunjikkannan.

906
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:25,830
He's no more.

907
01:12:25,910 --> 01:12:28,210
He used to sing this at the party office.

908
01:12:28,290 --> 01:12:31,710
I was curious about the song.

909
01:12:31,790 --> 01:12:37,910
I asked him what language it was.

910
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:42,500
He replied that it's the song of slaves.

911
01:12:43,660 --> 01:12:48,960
Also, there was a theatre festival
12 years ago.

912
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:52,210
People from various parts of India came.

913
01:12:52,290 --> 01:12:54,160
Siddi tribals also came.

914
01:12:54,250 --> 01:12:58,710
They presented their arts and culture.

915
01:12:58,790 --> 01:13:03,500
You know who accompanied them
in their performance?

916
01:13:03,580 --> 01:13:06,080
Artists from Africa.

917
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:08,160
What does that mean?

918
01:13:08,250 --> 01:13:12,160
Yes, they are different.
But they are somehow the same.

919
01:13:12,250 --> 01:13:14,710
Their languages were similar.

920
01:13:14,790 --> 01:13:17,080
And, another thing to add.

921
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:21,370
Do you remember the recent art debate?

922
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:26,250
The term 'aruvani' was used
during the debate.

923
01:13:26,330 --> 01:13:29,910
An African lady commented on it.

924
01:13:31,710 --> 01:13:34,380
Criticising the use of such obscene terms.

925
01:13:34,540 --> 01:13:37,460
Thus, there are a lot of similarities.

926
01:13:39,040 --> 01:13:40,580
Can you sing the song?

927
01:13:40,670 --> 01:13:43,670
Of course. I have the book with me.
