Song Meaning of “Ekla Cholo Re” by Amitabh Bachchan
Ekla Cholo Re is a song about an individual’s journey of life, no matter how difficult it is. The lyrics of the song personify the feelings and emotions that one faces while on that journey and encourages them to go on alone or with the help of faith, even if the rest of the world decides not to follow. The protagonist is urged not to grieve, they are encouraged to stay strong by saying ‘go alone’, implying that if the rest of the world chooses not to walk with them, they still need to continue their journey. The chorus of the song, “Aye, Ekla Cholo Re, Bahu Katha Diye Ray Bhai Re, Aye Ekla Cholo Re” translates to “Come, go alone, do not fall into the temptation of telling your story to the world around you, come, go alone.” The song also suggests that only in being alone can one become stronger and find true companionship within. The message of the song is that no matter what challenges life may bring, no matter how much of a long and difficult path lies ahead, one should always choose to go alone and keep moving forward with strength and courage.
