एक बार किसी ने कहा था कि जब किसी इंसान की किंवदंती उस इंसान से भी बड़ी हो जाती है, तो आप असल इंसान को खो बैठते हैं और आपके सामने एक काल्पनिक तस्वीर रह जाती है।

इस बीमारी को वे 'रैप' कहते हैं - जिसमें कोई लयबद्ध थिरकन चल रही होती है, और कोई समाज-विरोधी बेवकूफ प्राथमिक स्कूल जैसी तुकबंदियां उगल रहा होता है।
This disease they call 'rap' - some kind of rhythmic pulse is going by, while some sociopathic idiot is belching out grade school poetry.

बहुत, बहुत सालों तक मैंने 'माय वे' गाने से इंकार कर दिया था। [मेरे पिता] का गाना 'माय वे' गाना मुझे ढोंग जैसा लगता था। अब कहानी को बयां करने में मदद के लिए इसे शो में शामिल करना ही होगा।
For many, many years I wouldn't sing 'My Way.' It seemed pretentious for me to sing [my father's] song 'My Way.' Now it must be in the show to help us tell the story.

मैंने अपना दर्शन कह दिया है - शायद मैं backyard philosopher (घर की चारदीवारी का दार्शनिक) हूँ - मेरा मानना है कि अंग्रेजी भाषा का सबसे गंदा शब्द "रिटायरमेंट" (सेवानिवृत्ति) है।
I have said my philosophy - I'm a backyard philosopher, I guess - is that the dirtiest word in the English language is "retirement."

फ्रैंक सिनात्रा अपने काम के प्रति बेहद समर्पित थे। अपने जीवन के अंत में, उनके पास जो कुछ बचा था - प्रशंसा, यादगार चीजें, उत्सव, तारीफें, और न जाने क्या-क्या। उन्होंने फिल्में की थीं, टीवी पर काम किया था, यह किया था, वो किया था - पर उनके पास जो असल चीज बची थी, वह थी अपने श्रोताओं के प्रति प्यार, और इसी ने उन्हें जिंदा रखा था।
Frank Sinatra was very devoted to what it was he did. At the end of his life, what he had left - there have been accolades, mementos, festivals, superlatives, all that stuff. He's done movies, TV, done this, done that - what he had left was a love of his audience, and that kept him alive.

यह तो दुनिया का दस्तूर है, समझ लीजिए। उम्र का असर तो दिखता ही है। जैसा कि मैंने कहा, यह तो प्रकृति का नियम है। जब वो वक्त आया और आखिरकार उन्हें मंच छोड़ना पड़ा, तो जिस चीज से वे चल रहे थे, वही गायब हो गई।
It's the way of all flesh, you know. Aging takes its toll. Like I said, it's the way of all flesh. When the time came and he finally had to step down, the thing that kept him going disappeared.

मध्यकालीन इंग्लैंड में एक ऐसा समय था जब वहाँ घूम-घूम कर गाने वाले चारण हुआ करते थे ... यदि फ्रैंक सिनात्रा 1190 या 1180 में हेनरी द्वितीय के शासनकाल में जीवित होते, तो वे उन्हीं घूम-घूम कर गाने वाले चारणों के समकालीन होते।
There was a time in medieval England when they had wandering minstrels ... A wandering minstrel would have been Frank Sinatra's counterpart had he lived during the time of Henry II in 1190 or 1180.

मुझे लगता है कि मेरी पीढ़ी में, जब मैं 60 के दशक की शुरुआत में आया, तो उस दौर के समाज में जिस तरह का संगीत चलन में था, वह बदलकर किसी और ही तरह के संगीत में तब्दील हो चुका था। मैं किसी आधुनिक अप्लायंसेज की दुकान में पुरानी एंटीक चीजें बेचने की कोशिश कर रहा था।
I think in my generation, when I came along in the early '60s, the type of music that was in vogue in society in those days had moved on to another kind of music. I was trying to sell antiques in a modern appliance store.

जब मैं अब पीछे मुड़कर देखता हूँ, तो मुझे एक बहुत ही अहम बात याद आती है, और वह यह है कि मुझे आखिरकार कुछ वापस लौटाने का अवसर मिला - एक बहुत ही शानदार अवसर। जब मैं बच्चा था, तो यह [फ्रैंक सिनात्रा] के ही प्रयास थे जिनकी वजह से मेरी छत के नीचे सिर छुपाने की जगह मिली, पेट भरने को खाना मिला, तन पर कपड़े मिले, मुझे अच्छी शिक्षा मिली और बीमार पड़ने पर डॉक्टर के पास जा सका। वे सारी चीजें जो एक बच्चा अपने माता-पिता से पा सकता है। सच कहूँ तो, मैं ऐसी स्थिति में नहीं रहना चाहता था जहाँ मैंने सिर्फ और सिर्फ दूसरों से लिया ही लिया हो।
As I look back on it now, I'm thinking of one very vital factor, that one factor being that I was afforded the luxury - the luxurious opportunity - of finally being able to put something back. As a child growing up, it was his [Frank Sinatra] efforts that put a roof over my head, food in my stomach, clothes on my back, and that got me an education and sent me to the doctor when I was sick. All those things a child could benefit from parent. I did not want to be in a position where all I had ever done was take, take, take, frankly.

कुछ सालों से, मैं "सिनात्रा सिंग्स सिनात्रा" नाम से एक कार्यक्रम कर रहा हूँ। यह लगभग 98 के अंत से लगातार चल रहा है। साल 1998 वही वर्ष था जब फ्रैंक सिनात्रा का निधन हुआ था। ... अब जब उनका 100वां वर्ष आ गया है - तो मैंने 2013 में जब हमने इस सबकी शुरुआत की थी, तभी यह तय कर लिया था कि हमें क्या करना चाहिए। हमने पहला "Sinatra Sings Sinatra" करने का फैसला किया जिसमें हम ऑडियो-विजुअल (दृश्य-श्रव्य) रूप से इसे पेश करेंगे।
For some years now, I've been doing a program called "Sinatra Sings Sinatra." It's been going on virtually since the end of '98. Nineteen ninety-eight was the year Frank Sinatra died. ... Now having reached what would have been his 100th year - I decided back in 2013 when we started to put all of this together, I decided what we should do was the first "Sinatra Sings Sinatra" in which we go audio visual.

मैंने कभी नहीं सुना कि दशकों तक रेडियो कार्यक्रमों की किसी लगातार श्रृंखला का विषय कोई अकेला कलाकार रहा हो। इसे ध्यान में रखते हुए, यह वही बात है जो फ्रैंक सिनात्रा अपने श्रोताओं, अपने चाहने वालों में जगाते हैं। यह मेरे लिए व्यक्तिगत रूप से संतोषजनक है क्योंकि उनका संगीत कुल मिलाकर बेहतरीन बोल, धुन, संगीत संयोजन और निश्चित रूप से कहानी बयां करने के उनके शानदार अंदाज से भरपूर था।
I've never heard of any one single artist being the subject in an ongoing series of radio programs for decades. Bearing this in mind, that's the kind of thing Frank Sinatra brings out in his audience, his followers. It's personally satisfying to me because his music by and large was the greatest quality of lyrics, melody, orchestration and, of course, his magnificent approach to telling a story.

फिलाडेल्फिया में एक शख्स हैं, जिन्हें मैं 50 साल से जानता हूँ, उनका नाम सिड मार्क है। वे विशेष रूप से फ्रैंक सिनात्रा का संगीत प्रसारित करने वाला एक रेडियो कार्यक्रम चलाते हैं - दशकों से एक ही शो, "फ्राइडे विद फ्रैंक", "सैटरडे विद सिनात्रा", "संडे विद सिनात्रा", दशकों से चल रहा है। यह वास्तव में एक बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण बात है।
There is a man up in Philadelphia, I've known him for 50 years now, his name is Sid Mark. He does a radio program featuring Frank Sinatra music exclusively - one show for decades, "Friday with Frank," "Saturday with Sinatra," "Sunday with Sinatra," for decades. This is something that is really quite important.

तो ऑडियो-विजुअल (दृश्य-श्रव्य) के साथ क्या हो रहा है, हम पहली बार संगीत पेश कर रहे हैं - जो लोग संगीत सुनने आते हैं वे संगीत से प्यार करते हैं - वे उनसे और उनके संगीत से प्यार करते हैं - कॉन्सर्ट में यह पहली बार है कि केवल संगीत ही नहीं है। अब उस इंसान को जानने का समय है। हम संगीत को तो जानते हैं, लेकिन वह इंसान कैसे थे?
So what's happening with the audio/visuality, for the first time we are doing the music - the people who would come to the concert love the music - they loved him and loved his music - for the first time in concert it's not only the music. Now it's time to know the man. We know the music, but what was the man like?

जब मैंने उनके साथ काम करना शुरू किया, तो [फ्रैंक सिनात्रा] का 72वां वर्ष आधा बीत चुका था, और जब उन्होंने अपना आखिरी शो किया तब वे 80 के करीब पहुँच रहे थे। वे भी यह जानते थे, दर्शक भी जानते थे, और इस बात को छिपाने की कभी कोई कोशिश नहीं की गई। उनकी नजर वैसी नहीं रही थी जैसी कभी हुआ करती थी। उनकी सुनने की क्षमता भी कम हो गई थी। उनकी याददाश्त कमजोर हो रही थी। वे इन सब बातों को जानते थे। उन्हें मदद की बहुत जरूरत थी, और मैं यह पाकर बहुत खुश था कि मैं थोड़ी ही सही, पर उनकी मदद कर सका।
When I came on board, it was halfway through his [Frank Sinatra] 72nd year, and when he did his last show he was gaining on 80. He knew it, the audience knew it, and there was never any attempt to conceal such a thing. His vision wasn't what it had once been. His hearing wasn't. His memory was fading. He knew these things. He was very much in need of help, and I was so happy to be able, in a small way, to render that help.

उम्मीद है कि मुझ पर कभी यह ठप्पा नहीं लगेगा कि मैं कोई अजीबोगरीब या सनकी कलाकार हूँ। 1998 में [मेरे पिता] के निधन के बाद से मैं "सिनात्रा सिंग्स सिनात्रा" नाम का एक कार्यक्रम कर रहा हूँ।
Hopefully I never get hit with that stigma of being a novelty act. Since [my father] death in 1998 I've been doing a program called Sinatra Sings Sinatra.

मैं कुछ वापस लौटाने में सक्षम था। मैं [फ्रैंक सिनात्रा] की तब मदद कर पाया जब उन्हें मेरी मदद की जरूरत थी - और उन्हें वाकई किसी की मदद की जरूरत थी।
I was able to put something back. I was able to be of help to [Frank Sinatra] when he needed my help - and he did need somebody's help.

टोनी बेनेट अभी भी कॉन्सर्ट करते हैं, अभी भी गाते हैं। यही बात उन्हें जिंदा रखे हुए है। वे अब अस्सी के दशक के उत्तरार्ध में हैं और बस गाए जा रहे हैं, रुके नहीं हैं। मेरा मानना है, भगवान उनकी रक्षा करे, कि यह उनके काम के प्रति समर्पण और अपने श्रोताओं के सामने प्रदर्शन करते रहने की लगन ही है जो उन्हें चलाए हुए है।
Tony Bennett is still giving concerts, still singing. It's keeping him alive. He's in his late 80s now and he keeps going and going. I maintain, God bless him, it's this devotion to duty and working and being in front his audience.
