जब रात घिर आए और धरती अंधेरे में डूब जाए और चाँद ही वह इकलौता प्रकाश हो जिसे हम देख सकें। नहीं, मैं नहीं डरूँगा, नहीं, मैं बिल्कुल नहीं डरूँगा, बस जब तक तुम मेरे साथ हो, मेरा साथ देते रहो।
When the night has come and the land is dark and the moon is the only light we see. No, I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid, just as long as you stand, stand by me.

यदि आप पूरी तरह अपने काम पर ध्यान केंद्रित करें और सचमुच उसका आनंद लेने खुद को अनुमति दें और अपनी भावनाओं को बाहर आने दें, चाहे कोई भी धुन हो, कोई भी ताल हो, कोई भी गाना हो, तो 10 में से 9 बार यह सफल होगा।
If you just concentrate on what you're doing and allow yourself to actually enjoy and let your feelings come out, whatever the tempos, whatever the rhythms, whatever the songs, 9 out of 10 times it will work.

आप जो लिखते हैं, वह आपकी भावनाएं होती हैं। और जब आप लिख चुकते हैं तो उस पर अपने हस्ताक्षर करते हैं और उसे डाक से भेज देते हैं और बस बात खत्म। 'स्टैंड बाय मी' के साथ भी असल में ऐसा ही हुआ था।
You're writing it is how you feel. And when you're finished you put your signature on it and you mail it off and that's it. And that's how "Stand By Me" was really.

अगर वह आसमान जिसे हम देखते हैं, लड़खड़ाकर गिर पड़े। या पहाड़ टूटकर समुद्र में समा जाएं। मैं नहीं रोऊँगा, नहीं, मैं एक भी आंसू नहीं बहाऊँगा, बस जब तक तुम मेरा साथ देते रहो।
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall. Or the mountain should crumble to the sea. I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear, just as long as you stand by me.

मुझे गाना गाना पसंद था, मुझे गीत लिखना पसंद था, मुझे रिकॉर्डिंग करना पसंद था। संगीत सृजन से जुड़ी वे तमाम चीजें बहुत शानदार थीं।
I enjoyed singing, I loved song writing, I loved recording. All those things that involves with creating music was great.

मुझे लगता है कि 'स्टैंड बाय मी' गाना उन गानों में से एक है... और किसी ने मुझसे पूछा, तुम क्या सोच रहे थे या तुम्हारी क्या भावनाएँ थीं? यह कुछ ऐसा है कि गीतकार बस गाने लिख देते हैं। यह किसी चित्रकार की तरह है जो पेंटिंग बनाता है। वे वही चित्रित करते हैं जो वे महसूस करते हैं। यह इस बारे में नहीं होता कि मैं इनमें से कितनी पेंटिंग्स बेच पाऊंगा, बल्कि उस पल वे जो महसूस कर रहे होते हैं, यह उसकी अभिव्यक्ति होती है। और मैंने 'स्टैंड बाय मी' इसी तरह लिखा था।
I think that the song, the song "Stand By Me" is one of those songs that... and someone asked me, what was you thinking about or what was you feeling about? It's something that, songwriters just write songs. It's like an artist that paints. They paint what they feel. It's not, it's not about how many of these painting I'll sell it's just how they feel at the moment. And that's how I wrote "Stand By Me".

वैसी बातें आज के समय में नहीं होतीं। मुझे आज की पीढ़ी के बच्चों पर दया आती है। वे जेट विमानों में धूप का चश्मा पहनकर कैविया खाते हैं, लेकिन वे उस सच्ची भावना को कभी नहीं जान पाएंगे जो हमने महसूस की थी।
Those things don't happen today. I feel sorry for the kids in the industry today. They have on sunglasses, eat caviar in jet planes, but they'll never know the true feeling that we did.

आप कुछ करने का जोखिम उठाते हैं और अपने दिल में यह महसूस करते हैं कि या तो यह अब तक की सबसे बेहतरीन चीज़ साबित होगी या फिर सबसे बुरी। इसमें कोई बीच का रास्ता नहीं होगा कि मैंने लगभग एक हिट गाना बना लिया था। वह या तो तुरंत फ्लॉप होगा या रातों-रात सुपरहिट बन जाएगा।
You take a chance to do something and you realize in your heart it's either going to be the greatest thing that ever happened or the worst thing that ever happened. It won't be an in between, I almost made a hit. It will be an instant flop or an instant success.

ज़्यादातर अश्वेत गायक शब्दों को थोड़ा खींचना पसंद करते हैं और सीधे आपके दिल में उतर जाते हैं। वे आपके कानों को लुभाने में दिलचस्पी नहीं रखते, हम बस सीधे आपके दिल तक पहुँचना चाहते हैं।
Most black singers like to slow the word down and, and go directly to your heart. They're not interested in your ears, we just want to go directly to your heart.

मैंने कभी एक सेकंड के लिए भी यह कल्पना नहीं की थी कि मैं वह कर पाऊँगा जो आज मैं कर रहा हूँ।
I never even visualized for a second doing what I'm doing.

मुझे एलिसिया कीज़ और जॉन लीजेंड का अंदाज़ वाकई पसंद है। उनके संगीत में शालीनता बरकरार रहती है।
I do like what Alicia Keys and John Legend are doing. With their music, you keep your clothes on.

मुझे आज भी लगता है कि मेरा पूरा करियर एक इत्तेफाक था। मैंने कभी इसके पीछे भागकर कोशिश नहीं की। कभी-कभी मुझे ऐसा लगता है जैसे मैं किसी धोखे से यहाँ तक पहुँची हूँ।
I still think my whole career was accidental. I didn't pursue it. I feel like I'm cheating sometimes.

मैं एक गीतकार हूँ। इसलिए मैं ठीक हूँ। लेकिन जब मैंने "स्टैंड बाय मी" गाना लिखा और यह सोचता हूँ कि यह गीत शायद आने वाले सैकड़ों सालों तक यहाँ रहेगा, तो यह वाकई बहुत बड़ी बात है, समझते हैं आप। और इसके बोल कितने सरल थे।
I'm a songwriter. So I'm OK. But when I wrote "Stand By Me" as a song and to know that the song will probably be here for hundred and hundreds of years to come, it's great, you know. And it was just simple lyrics.

विदेशों के लोग हमेशा हमारी सबसे बेहतरीन चीज़ों को अपना लेते हैं, हमेशा पिछले दरवाजे से आते हैं और उसी से हम पर वार करते हैं। और फिर एक दिन हम नींद से जागकर कहते हैं, अरे, मैंने यह सुना है शायद। हाँ, इसे किसी ने तो गाया था, आप जानते ही हैं। तो, यह हमारी एक कमज़ोर कड़ी रही है कि हम अपनी चीज़ों को संभालकर नहीं रख पाते जैसे वे लोग वहाँ रखते हैं।
People abroad always tend to take what the best of what we have and come back through the back door always, say, and hit us with it. And then we wake up one day and say, I think I've heard that. Yeah, it was done by whoever, you know. So, ah, that's been one of our weaknesses we don't tend to hold on as they do there.

इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि मैं किस स्टूडियो में हूँ, कौन सा निर्माता इसे तैयार कर रहा है या गाना कौन सा है, क्योंकि उन्होंने मुझे इतनी बातें सिखाई हैं कि संगीत के मामले में मैं जहाँ भी जाऊँ, खुद को पूरी तरह सुरक्षित महसूस करता हूँ।
I don't care what studio I'm in, I don't care what producers is producing it and I don't care what song it is because they taught me those things I feel so protected wherever I go as far as music.

मैं आज भी अपने हर शो में इसे गाता हूँ। जब तक सांसें चल रही हैं, मैं इसे गाता रहूंगा। मुझे इस बात पर बहुत गर्व है कि यह गाना समय की कसौटी पर खरा उतरा है।
I still perform it in all my shows. I'll do it as long as I'm breathing. I'm so proud it has stood the test of time.

और, ऐसा इसलिए था क्योंकि उस दौर की हर बात में एक ईमानदारी थी। वह सीधे सड़क के आम लोगों से जुड़ती थी।
And, because there was an honesty about all that was going on. It connected with the people in the street.

उस दौर में, यानी गीतकार के रूप में अपने शुरुआती सालों में, मैं सचमुच दस मिनट में गाना लिख लेता था क्योंकि अचानक से गाना अपने आप लिखता चला जाता था, मैं बस शब्द पिरो रहा होता था। ऐसा लगता था जैसे हर अगली पंक्ति पिछली वाली से खुद-ब-खुद बहती जा रही हो। यह किसी प्रेम पत्र को लिखने जैसा था जिसके बारे में सोचना नहीं पड़ता, वह सीधे दिल से निकलता है।
During those times like in my early years as a writer I could actually write a song in ten minutes because all of a sudden a song is writing itself, I'm just putting down words. It just seem each line that you put down flows with the other ones. It's like writing a love letter you don't think about it, it's something from the heart.

न्यूयॉर्क में, मैं वहाँ के संगीत को लेकर बहुत उत्साहित था क्योंकि बचपन में दक्षिण (साउथ) में मैं जिस संगीत से जुड़ा हुआ था, वह या तो कंट्री एंड वेस्टर्न था या जिसे हम तब पहाड़ी संगीत (हिलबिली) कहा करते थे, और हाँ, गॉस्पेल संगीत। इसके अलावा और कुछ नहीं था, बीच का कुछ था ही नहीं। और जब मैं न्यूयॉर्क पहुँचा, तो दुनिया भर का बाकी सारा संगीत मेरे जेहन में उतर आया—चाहे वह क्लासिकल हो या जैज़। इससे पहले मैं नहीं जानता था कि जैज़ क्या होता है, मैंने जैज़ के बारे में कभी कुछ सुना ही नहीं था।
In New York, I was excited about the music in New York because the only music that I was more or less involved with in the South was either country and western or hillbilly music as we used to call it when I was a kid and, ah, gospel. There was no, there was no in between. And when I got to New York all the other musics that's in the world just came into my head whether it was the classics, jazz, I never knew what jazz was about all, had heard anything about jazz.

जाहिर है, जिन बच्चों ने बे ई. किंग नाम के शख्स के बारे में कभी नहीं सुना था, वे अब इस गाने के बहाने उस नाम से वाकिफ हो गए थे। एक कलाकार के रूप में इसने मुझे बहुत बड़ा संबल दिया।
Of course, the kids who had never heard of a person called Ben E. King were then aware of the name associated with the song. That gave a tremendous lift to me as an artist.

हाँ। मैं काफी भाग्यशाली रहा हूँ कि मुझे लगभग हर जगह घूमने का मौका मिला।
Yeah. I've been pretty fortunate to travel I guess, all around the place.

अगर इस इंडस्ट्री की कोई ऐसी बात है जिससे मुझे प्यार है और जिससे मैं बेहद खुश हूँ, तो वह यह है कि मेरा करियर उसी दौर में शुरू हुआ और मैं उस समय के कुछ सबसे महान कलाकारों से मिला, जिनमें से कुछ आज भी हमारे बीच हैं।
If there's anything about the business that I love and that I'm extremely happy about, is that my career started at that time and that I met some of the greatest entertainers at that time and some are still here.

कई बार मैं पॉल अंका के साथ टूर पर गया हूँ। उनके साथ एक शख्स हमेशा पीछे बैठा रहता था ताकि कोई उनसे बात तक न कर सके। आप वहाँ एक तरह के प्रतिबंधित दायरे में बंद रहते थे।
Many times I've gone on tours with Paul Anka. He would have someone sitting behind him to keep people from even talking to him. You were almost in a little restricted area there.
