Nelly Furtado sings classic Hindi song Kahbi Kabhie
"Kabhi Kabhie" is a classic Hindi love song from a classic Hindi film from 1976 also called Kahbi Kahbie (Sometimes Sometimes). The song is so romantic that people are known to tear up just from the melody, let alone the words (Lyrics & English translation of the lyrics www.bollywhat.com)...so popular that you can even find songstress Nelly Furtado belting out the beautiful lyrics of Khabi Kahbie in one of her concerts in Nottingham, England February 2007 (in Hindi to boot!).
Nelly Furtado has said: "I grew up with a lot of Asian and Indian friends speaking Punjabi and Hindi. And I grew up watching a lot of bhangra, Bollywood, religious music and we even had it on television on Saturdays. Actually sometimes while I would clean hotel rooms... my friends invited me to sing at their Indian cultural festival when I was about 18 years old, and my friend's father said I should sing in Hindi, and I really liked it. I learned Kabhi Kabhi"
