Hashe Chilika | Soulful Odia Abstract Jazz Song | Sambit Dash

About the Song

Hashe Chilika ("Chilika Smiles") is an experimental jazz reverie that dissolves boundaries between sound and philosophy. Unconventional instrumentation mirrors the lake's duality: freeform drums ebb and flow like restless tides, while bass guitar shadows the depths beneath. Staccato organ jabs punctuate like suppressed sobs, synced to snare cracks for jarring emotional texture.

Electric guitar filaments spiral between dissonance and melody -- half scream, half lullaby -- while synth atmospherics stretch time itself. Sambit's voice becomes another instrument in this improvisational ritual, where Chilika transforms into sound: her smile in the E-Minor keys, her pain in the broken chords.

This is jazz as alchemy -- raw, questioning, and defiantly untamed.

The Story Behind Hashe Chilika

Sambit Dash's translation reimagines Chilika as a woman -- her laughter bright as the lake's surface, her pain as its hidden depths. The lyrics trace a man's intimate reckoning with her duality: the joy she radiates, the doubts she conceals, and the deceptive currents beneath her calm. Recorded live with jazz improvisations (May 2025), the track's raw delivery mirrors whispered confessions, where the lake's waves become metaphors for her elusive truth.

Why Listen to Hashe Chilika?

Because this is where jazz becomes a whispered conversation between a man and the mystery of a woman. Every note carries the weight of unsaid words -- the organ's sharp stabs like sudden doubts, the synth's lingering haze like memories you can't shake, the guitar's restless bends mirroring questions left hanging.
Listen to hear how joy and deception dance together -- how the melody smiles while the harmony aches. Listen for the moments when the drums stumble, just as he did when he realized her laughter wasn't always This isn't just music. It's the sound of a man learning that some waters are deeper than they seem, and some hearts, like Chilika's waves, never fully reveal what moves

Lyrics

[Prelude Music]
[ Intro]
ଉର୍ମି ଅଧୀର, ରୂପସି ଚିଲିକା
ଉଲ୍ଲାସେ ମାତେ ଆଜି ନାଚେ ଏକା ଏକା
ହସେ ଚିଲିକା
ଉଲ୍ଲାସେ ମାତେ ଆଜି ନାଚେ ଏକା ଏକା
ହସେ ଚିଲିକା
[Interlude Music 1]
[Verse 1]
ତୁମେ କି ଜାଣିଛ ରୂପ ର ଉର୍ମି ତଳେ,
ଟିକି ଟିକି ହୋଇ ଦୁଃଖ ମଶାଲ ଜଳେ,
ତୁମେ କି ଜାଣିଛ ରୂପ ର ଉର୍ମି ତଳେ, ଦିକି ଦିକି ହୋଇ ଦୁଃଖମଶାଲ ଜଳେ
ତୁମେକି ଦେଖିଛ ବେଦନା ଆହତ ଆଖି ର ଅଶ୍ରୁ ଲେଖା
ଚିଲିକା ଚିଲିକା

[Interlude Music 2]
[ Verse 2]
ଭିନ୍ନ ଋତୁ ରେ ଅନେକ ରଂଗ ମାଖି
ତୁମେ ଛଳନା ର ଆଲୋକ ରେ , ଆଲୋକ ରେ ହୁଅ ସୁଖୀ
ତୁମେକି ବୁଝିବ ଏଡ଼େ ନିଷ୍ଠୁର, ଜୁହି ର ଅଗ୍ନି ଶିଖା
ଚିଲିକା ଚିଲିକା

[Outro]
ଉର୍ମି ଅଧୀର, ରୂପସି ଚିଲିକା
ଉଲ୍ଲାସେ ମାତେ ଆଜି ନାଚେ ଏକା ଏକା
ହସେ ଚିଲିକା
ଉଲ୍ଲାସେ ମାତେ ଆଜି ନାଚେ ଏକା ଏକା
ହସେ ଚିଲିକା
ହସେ ଚିଲିକା
ହସେ ଚିଲିକା

Lyrics (English Translation)

[Prelude Music]
[ Intro]
The waves are restless, Chilika, the beautiful,
Today, she dances alone, lost in joy,
Chilika smiles,
Today, she dances alone, lost in joy,
Chilika smiles,
[Interlude Music 1]
[Verse 1]
Do you know beneath the waves of beauty,
Tiny sorrows burn like flickering torches?
Do you know beneath the waves of beauty,
Little by little, sorrows ignite like flames?
Have you seen the tears in wounded eyes,
Written in pain?
Chilika, Chilika

[Interlude Music 2]
[ Verse 2]
In different seasons, painted in many hues,
You bask in the light of deception, pretending to be happy,
Will you ever understand the cruel fire,
The burning flame of longing?
Chilika, Chilika

[Outro]
The waves are restless, Chilika, the beautiful,
Today, she dances alone, lost in joy,
Chilika smiles,
Today, she dances alone, lost in joy,
Chilika smiles,
Chilika smiles,
Chilika smiles
