Another song from ‘Omkara’ the lyrics of which baffle me like anything. Since the time I first heard this song, I’ve been trying hard to understand its meaning, but they just make no sense to me!
“Namak ishq ka” – Is it some new brand of salt (namak) which is being promoted through this song? I’ve heard about Tata salt. I’ve also heard about Captain Cook namak. But namak ishq ka?? Some weird new brand it is. And is this ishq ka namak only available with one’s lover? Why else would the song go like: “Balam se manga, manga re, namak ishq ka…”?
Oh, and how exactly can a girl swallow the moon? The very first line says: “Mein chaand nigal gayi…” And how does the moon figure in this ‘ishq ka namak’ commercial (if that’s what it is)?
Uff….too confusing!
