Chengaluva Lyrics Translation Abby V | Anirudh Ravichander | Bharateeyudu 2
Shruthika Samudhrala sings lines like, ‘You’re a single raindrop in the lake, melting away half the void in my world.’ The poet describes love as a magical force, blending cosmic imagery with intimate emotions. The performer brings a soft, heartfelt touch to the verses.
Chengaluva cheyandenaaIs the water lily reaching out,
Chelikaani cherenaaDoes it find its way to the lover?
Nijamenaa nishaantamenaaIs this real or just the night’s end?
Sandraalu ruchi maarchenaaHave the oceans changed their taste?
Mantraalu panchenaaAre magical spells being shared?
Idi vere prapanchamenaaIs this an entirely different world?
Sameepa dooraala nirnayamDeciding what’s near and what’s far,
Gataala gaayamIs a wound from the past.
Eevela nee raakatoToday, with your arrival,
Jayam nirantaraayamSuccess flows without a single break.
Varinchu utsaahamedo punjukunnaA chosen thrill’s picking up speed,
Nee pedaalakuFor those lips of yours.
Tarinchu ullaasa laaliA joyful lullaby that sets one free,
Paadaneeka momu daachakuDon’t hide your face while it’s being sung.
Maare manasulalo emi indrajaalamWhat sorcery’s inside these changing hearts?
Theere thapanalaku deham chandrayaanamFor desires fulfilled, the body’s a moon mission.
Aarambhame payanamThe journey’s only the start.
Nenevvaro telisinaa adagalekaEven knowing who I am, I can’t ask,
Manassulo manasuneDeep within the heart’s own core.
Nuvvevvaro vetikinaa kanapadaniEven if you search for who you are, you’re invisible.
Sarassulo chinukuveYou’re a single raindrop in the lake,
Karigine sagam veliti naa jagamMelting away half the void in my world.
Avasaram maro nenuI need another version of myself,
Edamayye gunam mudipade kshanamA moment where distant traits finally knot together.
Priyavanam ade neevuYou’re that beloved garden.
Andinaa andananna ninnalanWhether the past’s reachable or not,
Nee kshemame kadaa vasantamaiIsn’t your well-being just like the spring?
Chenta cherinaa jatainaComing close and becoming a pair.
Seetalaa padaaLike a cool breeze, let’s go.
Maare manasulalo emi indrajaalamWhat sorcery’s inside these changing hearts?
Theere thapanalaku deham chandrayaanamFor desires fulfilled, the body’s a moon mission.
Kalalu maare manasulaloWithin the hearts where dreams are shifting.
Emi indrajaalamWhat sorcery’s this?
Theere thapanalaku deham chandrayaanamFor desires fulfilled, the body’s a moon mission.
Aarambhame payanamThe journey’s only the start.
Sameepa dooraala nirnayamDeciding what’s near and what’s far,
Gataala gaayamIs a wound from the past.
Eevela nee raakatoToday, with your arrival,
Jayam nirantaraayamSuccess flows without a single break.
Maare manasulalo emi indrajaalamWhat sorcery’s inside these changing hearts?
Theere thapanalaku deham chandrayaanamFor desires fulfilled, the body’s a moon mission.
Kalalu maare manasulaloWithin the hearts where dreams are shifting.
Emi indrajaalamWhat sorcery’s this?
Theere thapanalaku deham chandrayaanamFor desires fulfilled, the body’s a moon mission.
Maare manasulalo emi indrajaalamWhat sorcery’s inside these changing hearts?
Theere thapanalaku deham chandrayaanamFor desires fulfilled, the body’s a moon mission.
Kalalu maare manasulaloWithin the hearts where dreams are shifting.
Emi indrajaalamWhat sorcery’s this?
Theere thapanalaku deham chandrayaanamFor desires fulfilled, the body’s a moon mission.
Aarambhame payanamThe journey’s only the start.
