Arthavaagutthillave Meaning & Lyrics (Anuradha Bhat)
Anuradha Bhat phrases ‘you pass by as if you haven’t seen me’ with controlled vibrato. Anitha Rangaswamy repeats ‘my heart has floated toward you’ at rising pitches, mirroring escalating emotional stakes. The melodic progression leans toward unresolved chords during denials of mutual connection.
Arthavaagutthillave Ninage ArthavaagutthillaveDon’t you understand, oh, don’t you understand?
Nanna Manasu Ninna Kade Teli HogideMy heart has floated away towards you.
Eshtu Helidru Nanna Maathe KelutillaveNo matter how much I say, you just don’t seem to listen.
Nanna Nodidru Noodadange Hogtiya Neenu Mallananna HangeEven if you see me, you walk by like you haven’t, acting all tough.
Aadrunu Ninnanne Nodo Aaseyu Yaako NangeBut even so, I don’t know why I still long to look at you.
Arthavaagutthillave Ninage ArthavaagutthillaveDon’t you understand, oh, don’t you understand?
Nanna Manassu Ninna Kade Teli HogideMy heart has floated away towards you.
Nanna Kannugalu Ninna Kannugala Jothe MaathadiveMy eyes are trying to speak with your eyes,
Nanna Kaigalu Ninna Appikolloke KaayutiveMy arms are waiting to hold you in an embrace.
Nanna Hrudaya Ninnade Geetheya HaaduthideMy heart is singing a song that’s only for you,
Nannusiru Ninna Usirali Bereya BekideAnd my every breath wants to become one with yours.
Arthavaagutthillave Ninage ArthavaagutthillaveDon’t you understand, oh, don’t you understand?
Nanna Manasu Ninna Kade Teli HogideMy heart has floated away towards you.
Ninna Kaiyannu Hididu Doora Elladru Hogo AaseI wish I could hold your hand and just go somewhere far away,
Ninna Pakka Kootu Ninna Kiviyalli Eneno Helo AaseI wish I could sit beside you and whisper sweet nothings in your ear.
Naanellelli Nodali Ninnane Kaanuva AaseI wish that wherever I look, I only see you,
Nanna Jeevake Ninna Jeevada Aasare AaseAnd I wish that my life could find its support in yours.
Arthavaagutthillave Ninage ArthavaagutthillaveDon’t you understand, oh, don’t you understand?
Nanna Manasu Ninna Kade Teli HogideMy heart has floated away towards you.
Eshtu Helidru Nanna Maathe KelutillaveNo matter how much I say, you just don’t seem to listen.
Nanna Nodidru Noodadange Hogtiya Neenu Mallananna HangeEven if you see me, you walk by like you haven’t, acting all tough.
Aadrunu Ninnanne Nodo Aaseyu Yaako NangeBut even so, I don’t know why I still long to look at you.
Arthavaagutthillave Ninage ArthavaagutthillaveDon’t you understand, oh, don’t you understand?
Laalalallalla Ninna Kade Teli HogideLa la la la la, it’s floated away towards you.
Unreciprocated longing drives the Arthavaagutthillave lyrics meaning. Anitha Rangaswamy structures musical phrases to emphasize distance between desire and reality. Lyric translations in English retain the Kannada original’s rhythmic repetitions of unanswered questions.
