Chaddh De – Clinton Cerejo feat Master Saleem, Coke Studio @ MTV Season 2

An introspective song, Chaddh De flows like a river. The song is about letting go of desires. It talks about how futile it is to fret over desires or wants when your time on earth is limited. It’s about the futility of trying to control life when everybody’s place is preordained and nothing one does can ever change that.
It was written by Lyricist Manoj during a low & depressive phase of his life. The lyrics literally mean ‘oh fool let go’ (of your desires). Clinton includes a remarkable string section in this song with the cello playing a prominent role.

Meaning:

The Poet is imploring to all beings, to not fall for the worldly traps. For life is like loose sand, that will
flow away without any warning in the endless wide ocean of impermanence. When we know that the
end of this journey will have to be done alone and empty handed, what is point of dying for desires and
planning for them each day?

The end is inevitable and hence your space is predefined…for you will, either be burnt to ashes and
hence become part of the air or, be buried and hence will become part of this earth…one day.

Poet quotes the great Saint and poet, Sant Kabirdas, “since we know the end is inevitable, we must use
this time to sow good deeds. For when we came to this earth as a new born, everyone laughed and we
cried…but when we undertake our final journey, the world must miss us for the plethora of good that
we would have done…while we enjoy our communion with The One”.
