Atavi’s Egise Keratam Lyrics Translation
The lyrics transition from describing natural wonders to direct worship. The narrator states they have built a temple in their heart for this person. This figure is also described as moonlight appearing in the darkness.
Egise Keratam Ningine ThaakeA soaring wave touched the heavens
Merise Merupe Nela Meeda NadicheA flash of lightning walked upon the earth
Kadile Kaalam Kalla Mundu AageMoving time stopped right before my eyes
Nadiche Megham Na MundukocheA walking cloud came to stand before me
Kanula Mundu Nee Andam Kanula VindugaaBefore my eyes, your beauty is a feast
Manasulona Nee Roopam ParimalinchagaaIn my heart, your image spreads like a sweet fragrance
Ninnu Chusi Naa Hrudayam Paravashinchagaa Nuvvunte Prathiroju PandagegaaSeeing you, my heart is filled with joy; when you’re here, every day is a celebration
Egise Keratam Ningine ThaakeA soaring wave touched the heavens
Merise Merupe Nela Meeda NadicheA flash of lightning walked upon the earth
Kadile Kaalam Kalla Mundu AageMoving time stopped right before my eyes
Nadiche Megham Na MundukocheA walking cloud came to stand before me
Gundelona Neeku Gudikattane Andulone Devathaga PrathishtichaneI’ve built a temple for you in my heart and enshrined you inside as a deity
Manasulona Ninne Poojinchane Manaspoorthigaa Ninnu PreminchaaneIn my mind, it’s you I worship; I’ve loved you with all my soul
Kovelala Naa Chuttu Koluvai Unna Aaradhya Devathavu Nuvve AyyaavLike a sacred idol in a shrine, you’ve become the goddess I worship
Cheekatilo Naa Chuttu Velugai Unna Vennela La Neevu VelivesavuIn the darkness surrounding me, you appeared like the brilliant moonlight
Kanula Mundu Nee Andam Kanula VindugaaBefore my eyes, your beauty is a feast
Manasulona Nee Roopam ParimalinchagaaIn my heart, your image spreads like a sweet fragrance
Ninnu Chusi Naa Hrudayam Paravashinchagaa Nuvvunte Prathiroju PandagegaaSeeing you, my heart is filled with joy; when you’re here, every day is a celebration
Egise Keratam Ningine ThaakeA soaring wave touched the heavens
Merise Merupe Nela Meeda NadicheA flash of lightning walked upon the earth
Kadile Kaalam Kalla Mundu AageMoving time stopped right before my eyes
Nadiche Megham Na MundukocheA walking cloud came to stand before me
Dhyasalona Neevu UsaeyyaveIn my thoughts, you are my every breath
Dhyanam Lo Neevu Naa ShwaasayyaveIn my meditation, you’ve become my very life-breath
Aashalanni Nipaine PettukunnaneI have placed all of my hopes on you alone
Prananga Ninnu PreminchaaneI have loved you more than my own life
Mabbule Naa Chuttu AavarinchinaEven when dark clouds gather all around me
Chirujallula Neeve VastaaveYou arrive like a gentle, welcome shower
Shoonyame Naa Chuttu CherukunnaEven when emptiness closes in around me
Indradhanusula Nannu ChuttukuntaveYou embrace me just like a rainbow
Kanula Mundu Nee Andam Kanula VindugaaBefore my eyes, your beauty is a feast
Manasulona Nee Roopam ParimalinchagaaIn my heart, your image spreads like a sweet fragrance
Ninnu Chusi Naa Hrudayam Paravashinchagaa Nuvvunte Prathiroju PandagegaaSeeing you, my heart is filled with joy; when you’re here, every day is a celebration

Nadiche Megham Na MundukocheA walking cloud came to stand before me
