What is the meaning of Ele Jeeva Lyrics from Bharathi Teacher?
M L Prasanna says the child should be a baby in the Great Mother’s lap and a tree in the land’s field. He tells the little life to learn Kannada and become a voice of light.
Ele Jeeva Ele JeevaHey little life, hey little life.
Ninagindu BelakagideToday, the light’s dawned for you.
Bahukala BelakagiTo shine as a light for a long time.
Ulivanthe BelibekideYou’ve got to grow so you’ll endure.
Mahatayi Madilalli Maguvagu NeeBe a child in the lap of the Great Mother.
Ee Nelada Holadalli Maravagu NeeBe a tree in the field of this land.
Nudiyachegu Ee GadiyacheguBeyond words and beyond these borders.
Daniyago Magalagu NeeBecome a voice, become a daughter.
Ele Jeeva Ele JeevaHey little life, hey little life.
Ninagindu BelakagideToday, the light’s dawned for you.
Bahukala BelakagiTo shine as a light for a long time.
Ulivanthe BelibekideYou’ve got to grow so you’ll endure.
Madilinda Madilige Tusu JarutaSlipping gently from one lap to another.
Karedavara Karegella O EnnutaAnswering everyone who calls out to you.
Muddada Matannu Todal TodalutaStammering out sweet and lovely words.
