What is the meaning of Anu Anu Lyrics from Srirastu Subhamastu?
Sri Mani writes about eyes that wound and smiles that pierce. Thaman S describes falling into cupped hands, breaking chains only to face new restraints. The lyrics repeat questions about reality versus illusion.
Vaalu Kallatho ChoosindheShe looked with those captivating eyes,
Thippi Gaayame ChesindheAnd turned, leaving me wounded.
Ee Maaye NijamenaIs this illusion truly real?
Choosina LenaDid I even see her, or not?
Ne ChoosananukunnaanaDid I think I’d seen her?
Ee Chinnaari Navve VachchiThis innocent smile came along,
Nanne GuchchindheAnd pierced my heart.
Unnaana LenaAm I still here, or am I gone?
Ne Nunna NanukunnaanaDid I think I was still myself?
Nee Gundello Chote VachchiThen a place opened in your heart,
Nanne PilichindheAnd it called out to me.
Anu Anu AnuSay, just say it,
I Love You Ne AnuSay ‘I love you’.
Ee Maata Kosam Vechchunna NenuI’ve been waiting for those words.
Vinu Vinu VinuListen, just listen,
Ne Lone UnnanuI’m only within you.
Nee Gundellone Koorchuna NenuI’ve settled right inside your heart.
Champesthoo Chiru NavvesiYou kill me with a gentle smile,
Praanam PosthaaveBut you also give me life.
Ompesthoo Malli NuvveThen you pour yourself out again,
Dosili PadathaaneAnd I fall into your cupped hands.
Thempeasthoo SankellesiYou break my chains, yet shackle me,
Thalapesthoo Thalape TheesiYou bring thoughts, then snatch them away.
Nanne Nuvvem ChesthunnaaveWhat are you doing to me?
Choosaana LenaDid I even see her, or not?
Ne ChoosananukunnaanaDid I think I’d seen her?
Ee Chinnaari Navve VachchiThis innocent smile came along,
Nanne GuchchindheAnd pierced my heart.
Unnaana LenaAm I still here, or am I gone?
Ne NunnananukunnaanaDid I think I was still myself?
Nee Gundello Chotte VachchiThen a place opened in your heart,
Nanne PilichindheAnd it called out to me.
Anu Anu AnuSay, just say it,
I Love You Ne AnuSay ‘I love you’.
Ee Maata Kosam Vechchunna NenuI’ve been waiting for those words.
Vinu Vinu VinuListen, just listen,
Ne Lone UnnanuI’m only within you.
Nee Gundellone Koorchuna NenuI’ve settled right inside your heart.
Champesthoo OmpesthooKilling me, pouring out,
Champesthoo Chiru NavvesiYou kill me with a gentle smile,
Praanam PosthaaveBut you also give me life.
Ompesthoo Malli NuvveThen you pour yourself out again,
Dosili PadathaaneAnd I fall into your cupped hands.
Gaali Thoti Godavaye NeI quarreled with the wind,
Shwaasa TheeyaledhaniBecause I couldn’t even breathe.
Neeti Thoti Godavaye NeI argued with the water,
Naaku Dhaahame LedhaniBecause I didn’t feel thirsty.
Chirunavve AligindheEven my own smile got upset,
Thana Thoti Pani LedhaniSaying it had no purpose without you.
Thanuvantha VairaaloAmidst all this internal strife,
Nee Baanisa NenaniI still declare I’m yours.
Choosaana LenaDid I truly see her, or not?
Ne ChoosananukunnaanaDid I believe I’d seen her?
Ee Chinnaari NavveThat innocent smile,
Nanne GuchchindheStill pierced my heart.
Choosaara KannaOh darling, didn’t you see?
Nee Gundellone UnnaI’m always within your heart.
Na Manasaara NinneWith all my heart, it’s just you,
Naalo ChoosaananthunnaI’m saying I see you in me.
Cheppalani UnnaThough I long to tell you,
Alusai PothaananukunnaI thought I’d become too vulnerable.
Na Mounaannae ChadivesthaananiThat you would read my silence,
Kalale KannanaWas I only dreaming?
Anu Anu AnuSay, just say it,
Nee Kopam ChoosaanuI’ve seen your anger.
Nee Premani KoodaAnd I’m seeing your love too.
Choosthunna NenuI’m watching it unfold.
Vinu Vinu VinuListen, just listen,
Nee Pantham AyyaanuI’ve become your determination.
Nee Sontham Kooda Avuthunna NenuI’m also becoming completely yours.
