[FST] Always Fighting
And now for something with a similarly-titled name! (Hah, I think I'm just going to keep the "Always [verb]" theme for the FSTs, because I think it's kind of cute.) ♥ This is a gift for Athena; I promised her this would be her birthday present... waaaaay back in 2008. At least I delivered it before the new year rang? 8D

This FST is a little different from the past: its soundtrack is entirely in Hindi. I've provided a translation as well as a running commentary from Senel's POV on why each song's included.
// Hey Ya - Clinton Cerejo, Shankar Mahadevan, Loy Mendonsa (Karthik Calling Karthik)
Hey ya, I wanna get closer to you
Hey you, I need to be closer to you
Hey ya, I got to tell you how I feel
Hey ya, oh baby you are the only one for me
[ Senel: ... You put a love song on here? For what reason? Because Stella and I--- ohhhh. STILL. I didn't think I was exactly the "love song" type. Unless you needed to fill some... actually, wouldn't put it past you. This's the standard "love song" that's always on these albums. ]
// Pichle Saat Dinon Mein - Farhan Akhtar (Rock On!!)
Kaise bhulu saatva jo din aaya
How could I forget the seventh day
Kisi ne tumse ik party mein milvaaya
Somebody made me meet you in one party
Kaisa pal tha, jis pal maine tumko pehali baar dekha tha
What was that moment, when i saw you for the first time
Hum jo mile pehli baar, maine jaana kya hai pyar
When we met for first time, i realized what love is?
Maine hosh bhi khoya, dil bhi khoya
I lost my awareness and heart also
[ Senel: .... I thought you said we were done with love songs. Even if this one kinda fits my relationship with Stella. ]
// Dhoom Machale - (Dhoom)
So don't fight the feeling just let your body decide
Where you get down on the road
It' s a wild overload
Ridin' higher than you ever did before
[ Senel: ... You have no excuse for this song, do you?
....
Thought not. ]
// Deewangi Deewangi - (Om Shanti Om)
Dekho dekho hai shaam badi deewani
Look at this night; it's brimming with madness
Dheere dheere ban jaaye na koi kahani
Stories are created on such nights
Dilbar hai dilkash hai dildaar nazaren hain
Everything is so beautiful, so charming
Aaj zameen par uthre kitne sitaren hain
So many stars have descended on earth
Aklo hosh nami danam
No one has any wits left
[ Senel: ... This describes you more than me, you know that? ]
// Aal Iz Well - Sonu Nigam, Shaan, Swanand Kirkire (3 Idiots)
Murgi kya jaane aande ka kya hoga
The Chicken's clueless about the egg's fate
Aree life milegi ya tawee pe fry hoga
Will it hatch or become an omelet
Koi na jaane apna future kya hoga
No one knows what the future holds
Honth ghuma Seeti bajaa
So let your lips roll
Seeti bajaa ke bol
Whistle away the toll
Bhaiyaa aal izz well
Brother, all is well
[ Senel: How I feel "post-game," right? I guess... this works. It's better than the love songs, at least. ]
