I accidentally happened upon this video. It is one of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I have ever heard. Once I discovered its meaning, it brought tears to my eyes. I am not Indian, nor do I speak a word of Hindi, yet this performance carried me away to India and I felt the same deep longing for home. Thank you for touching my soul.

proud Algerian , yet this made me cry , india is a land of peace ! thanks A.R.Rahman for this masterpiece !

I am from Pakistan but there is a strong and beautiful connection with india

There is a separate fanbase for the shehnai. It gives goosebumps when shehnai starts in play.

I'm not an Indian. I am an Afghan but this song makes me cry. Beautifully done! AR Rehman is a legend. Love him. Staying away from your motherland and seeing your beloved country go through war is a horrible experience. I hope no one goes through this feeling of not being able to do much to support your people for peace.

I'm American but I've spent about two years in India. Commenting from Maharashtra now. Love this song and this particular rendition!

I am waiting for AR Rahman to get Bharat Ratna. He has been great son of this great country. He has truly assimilated different style of regional music to reflect India at its core. Thanks ARR !!! I am lucky to live in your time.

born in India, now in New Zealand !! will be heading towards Hindustan to serve nation very soon !!! Jai Hind !!! proud Bhartiya !!!

The amazing moment when the song is Indian and the top comments are from Afghans and Pakistanis. Love beyond boundaries.

Greetings from Turkey! This rhythm made me miss India so much. Hope to be there again soon 🙏

im Sri lankan..but this song bring me tears..jai hind my neighbour India..lots of love from Sri lanka..

I´m from México and I´ve been listening this song throught years, when I first found this song I couldn´t stop listening, then I went to the webb to a chat, and an person from India just translated to me, so touching the words, so touching the meaning and it just brings you some kind of redemption or peace or what ever it is but it just transports you to another state of mind, hits and warm your heart. I like a lot this song a lot, I like a lot the changes in the harmony, chords, voices, is just an amazing and peaceful song. Great India!!

long live india and ar rehman . love from pakistan

I come back here time and time again, even without understanding the language - When I'm in the dumps and need healing, when I'm nervous about a big day and need calming, when I need reassurance and a pick-me-up. Thank you all so much for this amazing contribution to the world. You really never know how many lives you touch from just believing in the music you're making.

It's hard to understand way some people dislike this song, this is amazing song Love from pakistan

+Usman Akhtar No-one dislikes this song. Its so patriotic. Whenever I listen to it I feel responsible towards my country.

I am born and raised in The Netherlands. I am a child of two generations Indians who were born and raised in Suriname (South America). But if you ask us what we are, we say that we are hindustani. The empty spot in my heart filled up immediately from the moment I walked out of a plain in india. Jai Hind! So doesn't matter where I go, hum lauth ke aayega.

Literally cannot stop eyes welling up! 😥 I'm an Indian living in UK. I've got permanent residence here.. but have been putting off switching to a UK passport. And I do understand why when I listen to songs like these.. India might have a million faults.. but songs like these make me realise that "yeh wo bandhan hai jo kabhi toot nahi sakta". Home is really where the heart lies. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Kudos to the Berkelee team for recreating the magic once again!

Love from northeast India a massive respect !!!!

We are based in US for many years now. My husband refuses to hear this song. It brings tears in his eyes and gives him a strong urge to return back to motherland. PHEW!!

I am from Lima - Perú, But this beautiful songs make me love India !! Thankyou for this awesome song!

Being a Sikh and punjabi, I love my india. I live in Portugal and I meet South Indian guy , we don’t understand each other, then we have use English language. Hamara india kitna anmol aur kitne culture se bhara hua hai , love and miss my india from Portugal 🇵🇹

Though I am not Indian...This song indulges me to the beauty of my motherland Nepal...But India is also close to my heart and will always be ...Nepal and India are inseparable to my heart...

i was born in london, live in america for last 28 years, but the moment i step foot in India, i feel at peace and home. Magical place!

I m Manipuri. I love this song very much.

Much love to India and it's beautiful people ❤ from the Dominican Rep. I really wish I could visit that beautiful country soon ♡

I'm blessed that I have been living the era of AR Rehman.... I'm pretty sure one can write full PhD thesis on each song of Rehman saab... Love from Bangladesh.. :)

After travelling from india, my heart left to this country

whats wrong? Is Everything Alright?? Yeah.Its just this Swades song cover(wipes tears)

Grandfather had S.D. Burman, Dad had R.D. Burman, well, I have A.R. Rahman ^_^

this made me cry iam an indian living in canada truly now I felt something I miss over in India maybe it was a soul

I am not an Indian, but I love this song very much, I know the song from Swades movie, it was a great movie

Wonderful arrangement. I've been learning to play this on sanshin (Japanese instrument) for a friend. Let me tell you one interesting arrangement detail I found. The first time the verse melody starts at 1:13, it is one beat later than when it happens the second time, at 1:37 (beat "1-and" the first time, beat "4-and" the second time). This way, the arrangement sounds more organic, because the melody doesn't repeat the same timing exactly. But there's more. As she's singing the second time, the choir sings as well, but they sing like it's the first time (they sing one beat later). So the choir sounds like an echo of the lead singer! They come together at 1:48. The same thing happens at 3:24, but now two halves of the choir are singing both parts. (At 3:47 they continue to sing two different parts, like call and response, while the "trumpet" (what is it called?) improvises... and then the ending comes, like a slowing-down version of the beginning.) It's a really satisfying composition idea. My respect to the arranger. Also, it's awesome to see so many nationalities of the people who performed this !!

am a mauritian but my origin is from India. The song really really touches my heart.

Sounds great! diversity@ a Korean guy from Kigali-Rwanda

This song crossed all the borders.💕 AR Rahman doesn't create music, He creates Magic🌼

This is awesome I'm south African Indian and would love to visit my motherland soon. God bless India and all her people around the world

greetings from Sri Lanka.....this is divine......

I am from pakistan.. i listen this song 3 days back from barklee singer/students. i must say that Mr. A R Rehman you are great... this word is not enough for u but we have olny this in english. Further i also pray for the guys who sing it... God bless you all and you all STAY BLESS!!!!

The meaning of the film is very deep. Music, songs and background music actually breaks the heart. I am from Ukraine, but the topic of the Motherland is close to every nation. I come to India and the feeling that I have returned HOME does not leave me. Thanks for the hard work!

It reminds me of SRK's masterpiece acting that should have won National Award.

First time ever in my life ,all alone in the US close to independence day august 13th listening to this song ,tears flowing in my eyes..nothing can beat my motherland...india :) jai ho... Thank you lord for creating the great ARR ..love u rahman :) happy independence day vandhe matharam ...

Whenever I heard this song I am proud to be an Indian #luv from manipur

That music of Shehnai literally will make you cry.......Love you My Country

What have you done AR Rehman.. This is truly a song that binds not only India and Indians staying away from their home but everyone who have left their motherland in search of better lives.. A truly Global song.. Magic

I came to the US just 3 months back for my Masters and I miss Bharat so much that as soon as I hear or see anything related to India, it brings tears to my eyes. Bharat is a soul, an emotion that cannot be measured by how rich it is. Believe me, Bharat is ahead of any country in the world if you just don't compare them on the basis of richness. I came to the US to learn and earn some money and I just can't wait to go back to India and build a small house there. Just counting the number of days and it has become the reason for survival now. It can take years but I will go back to my soul soon. Jai Hind!

I'm in total AWE of you all. Blessings!!!! ❤️💋🙏🏼

Peace From israel. Marvelous done. Thank you for sharing one more of your creation Dear master. , May Karma bring salvation to any land surrounding our Beautiful Planet.

A R Rahman is legend. Lots of love from Nepal

We are so fortunates to be in this beautiful Nation India 🇮🇳 b aware of this n always b thankful to God

This is orgasmic for the ears. Such a beautiful creation.

Bangladesh , India , pakistan , nepal , afganistan is only divided by boundaries. Remember All Brothers we are infinitely united by our culture of Indian only divided by boundaries .... Don't Listen to to these politicians .. We are infinitely united and no one can seperate us..

I am feeling really proud cause many foreigners are appreciating our country. I feel the patriotism. Proud to be an indian 🇮🇳. East or west, north or south we are indians. Vande mataram

Movie: Swades Music, Singer: A R Rahman Lyrics: Javed Akhtar A song with a patriotic sentiment, that talks about the dilemma of a successful immigrant over whether he should listen to his inner voice that wants him to go back to his native country and pay back to the people of that country. yeh jo des hai tera swades hai tera tujhe hai pukaara ye wo bandhan hai jo kabhi toot nahi sakta This country of yours, your motherland calls out to you.. this is a bond which can never break mitti ki hai jo khushboo tu kaise bhulaayega tu chaahe kahin jaaye tu laut ke aayega nayi nayi raahon mein dabi dabi aahon mein khoye khoye dil se tere koi ye kahega how can you ever forget the scent of the earth (of your homeland) wherever you go, you will come back. in new paths (that you take), in quiet sighs to your lost heart, someone will say [the someone here is nothing but an inner voice of himself.] ye jo des hai tera swades hai tera tujhe hai pukaara.... ye wo bandhan hai jo kabhi toot nahi sakta.. tujh se zindagi hai ye kah rahi sab to paa liya ab hai kya kami Your life is saying to you, you have achieved everything, what's there that is still missing then? yoon to saare sukh hain barse par door tu hai apne ghar se aa laut chal tu ab deewane jahaan koi to tujhe apna maane aawaaz de tujhe bulaaye wahi des as such, all comforts are there for you, but you're far from your home come, let's go back, O crazy one where at least someone will call you their own that country of yours calls you.. yeh jo des hai tera.... ye pal hai wahi, jis mein hai chhupi poori ek sadi saari zindagi It's this very moment, in which there is hidden, an complete century, an entire lifetime. tu na poochh raaste mein kaahe aaye hain is tarah doraahe tu hi to hai raah sujhaaye tu hi to hai ab jo ye bataaye jaaye to kis disha mein jaaye, wahi des.. Don't you ask why there is a two-way fork on the road.. [this represents a dilemma] you are the one who should suggest the path you are the one who would tell in which direction to take, that country..

Only a beautiful place can create such amazing emotions...love staying here and doing what i do :)

What a legend ..! What a gem of Indian land..!

If you are an Indian and if you know the lyrics you cannot go away.. this song will leave you in tears.... amazing composition and great scenes in the movie.

To all my Pakistani brothers and sisters. We appreciate your loving comments. Much love from India!

I forgot myself for 6 minutes and I cried while the song progressed. This miracle is possible only by Two legends. One A.R. Rahman and the other, one and only Hans Zimmer. Legends! Two wonderful gifts from God to the fim and music industry.

As a desi living in the US, I am very impressed by the music that the Berklee Indian Ensemble is producing. Bravo!!!!!! Keep up the great work. Thank you, Shukriya!!!:):)

Love from pak.. I haven't listened this song hundreds of times but actually have felt this inside me literally!

Mitti ki hai ye khusboo. Tu kese bhulayega? Tu chahe kahi jaye. Tu laut ke aayega. ❤️❤️❤️

can't stop crying. .......miss my country. ..my India...thank you Sir.A.R.Rahman and the whole crew

my country , my motherland , I promise to keep the most powerful country , unified , dignified and glorified .

Love and Respect from Pakistan ❤️

😭😭😭😭💕 I don't know what they're saying, and I don't need to, this is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard....
