Mleccha
Mleccha (from Vedic Sanskrit म्लेच्छ mleccha, meaning "non-Vedic", "barbarian"), also spelled Mlechchha or Maleccha, is a name , which referred to people of foreign extraction in ancient India. Mleccha was used by the ancient Indians much as the ancient Greeks used barbaros, originally to indicate the uncouth and incomprehensible speech of foreigners and then extended to their unfamiliar behaviour, and also used as a derogatory term in the sense of "impure and/or "inferior" people.
In ancient India, this term was also applied by the ancient Indian kingdoms to foreigners. The word Mleccha was commonly used for 'outer barbarians of whatever race or colour'.
The Indians referred to all alien cultures that were less civilized in ancient times as 'Mlechcha' or Barbarians. Among the tribes termed Mlechcha were Sakas, Huns, Yavanas, Kambojas, Pahlavas, Bahlikas and Rishikas. The Amarakosha described the Kiratas and Pulindas as the Mleccha-jatis. Indo-Greeks, Scythians, and Kushanas were also mlecchas.

Title : Familiar Feeling
Nothing can come close
Nothing can come close
Nothing can come close
I never doubted it
What's for you will not pass you by
I never questioned it
It was decided before I asked why
It's all there ever was
And it's all there ever will be
How could you have questioned us?
It's yourself you deceive
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Hush now
No need to say the words
At first sight you perfectly heard
Love in all its entirety
Is no less than we deserve
I saw, your face
Some place
I felt this feeling before
Is it deja vu?
Do I somehow know you?
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
We say it all without
Ever speaking
Nothing can come close
Nothing can come close
(Ever speaking)
Nothing can come close
To this familiar feeling
Nothing can come close
