Bobby Bob, Ellan Vannin Lyr Req: Raga Puti Rama (6) RE: Lyr Req: Raga Puti Rama 18 Nov 99


As it said in 'Sing Out!' -

"Traditionally, each couplet is first sung by a soloist, then repeated by the group or audience. The first couplet is actually used as a refrain. Start with the first couplet and do it twice, once as a solo and then with group. Then do the second couplet the same way. Go back to the first. Then go on to the third which is sung to the tune of the second. Repeat the song while increasing the tempo. Finally, repeat the first couplet in half-time (slow, while the rhythm is fast).

(Chord of E) Ragupati ragava rajah Ram
Puhtita bhavana sitaram

(Chord of Em) Sitaram je sitaram
Puhtita bhavana sitaram.

Ishere Allah tere nam
Tubko sunmutti de bhagawan.

Pronunciation guide:-

a = as in father i = ee bh = very soft b All r's should be rolled

Don't be disturbed by the absence of other chords. Harmonic accompaniments as we know them are unknown in Indian music. The desired quality of sound should be a drone rather than a choral pattern."

I hope this is the one you meant!

Shoh slaynt,

Bobby Bob
