What is the meaning of Chinni Thandri Lyrics from Sisindri?
Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry’s lyrics claim a thousand eyes cannot fully see the child’s beauty. Swarnalatha sings of hiding the boy in her lap to shield him from harm. The Telugu verses compare the child to Krishna and the moon.
Chinni Thandri Ninu ChudagaOh my dear little boy, just to see you completely.
Veyyi Kallaina SaripovuraEven a thousand eyes wouldn’t be enough.
Anni Kallu ChustundagaWith all those eyes watching you,
Niku Dishtentha TagilenuraYou might get struck by the heavy ‘evil eye’.
Anduke Amma Vodilone DagundiporaThat’s why you should hide safely in your mother’s lap.
Chinni Thandri Ninu ChudagaOh my dear little boy, just to see you completely.
Veyyi Kallaina SaripovuraEven a thousand eyes wouldn’t be enough.
E Chota Nimisham Kuda VundaleduHe doesn’t stay in one spot for even a minute.
Chinnari Sisindreela Chindu ChuduLook at him skipping around like a little ‘firecracker’.
Pilichina Palakadu Vethikina DorakaduHe won’t answer when called, and he’s nowhere to be found when searched for.
Ma Madhya Velisadu Aa JabiliThat beautiful moon has risen right here in our midst.
Mungitlo Nilipadu DeepavaliHe has placed the festival of lights right in our front yard.
Nilichundali Kalakalamu Ee SambaraluThese celebrations must last for all eternity.
Chinni Thandri Ninu ChudagaOh my dear little boy, just to see you completely.
Veyyi Kallaina SaripovuraEven a thousand eyes wouldn’t be enough.
Anni Kallu ChustundagaWith all those eyes watching you,
Niku Dishtentha TagilenuraYou might get struck by the heavy ‘evil eye’.
Aa Muvva Gopalu Lle TirugutunteAs he wanders around like the divine cowherd Krishna,
Aa Navve Pillangrovai MogutunteAnd his laughter sounds like a flute’s melody,
Manasulo NandanamA garden of joy in the heart,
Viriyada Prati KshanamDoesn’t it bloom every single second?
Ma Kanti Velugule HarivillugaThe light of our eyes transforms into a rainbow.
Ma Inti Gadapale RepallegaThe thresholds of our home become the sacred village of ‘Repalle’.
Ma Ee Chinni Rajyaniki Yuvaraju VeeduHe is the crown prince of this little kingdom of ours.
Chandamama ChusavatoyOh Uncle Moon, have you seen this?
Acchu Neelanti Ma BabuniOur boy is exactly like you.
Nela Addana Neebimbamai ParadutunteAs he crawls on the mirrored floor like your own reflection.
Chandamama ChusavatoyOh Uncle Moon, have you seen this?
Acchu Neelanti Ma BabuniOur boy is exactly like you.
The Sisindri track’s lyrics in English translation present maternal love as sacred devotion. Koti’s melody supports Swarnalatha’s performance framing the child as celestial. Family spaces transform into divine realms through this composition.
