Ellora Shilpanni Lyrics Translation (from “Billa”)
Rita compares her lover to an Ellora sculpture, praising his timeless power. She claims agency with lines like ‘I’m a young cobra, burning with intense passion.’ The character actively chooses obsession.
Ellora Shilpanni Vasthunna NeekesiI’m approaching you, sculpted like a beauty from Ellora.
Naalo Andalanni Andistha PogesiI’ve gathered all my beauty to offer it to you.
Ellora Shilpanni Vasthunna NeekesiI’m approaching you, sculpted like a beauty from Ellora.
Naalo Andalanni Andistha PogesiI’ve gathered all my beauty to offer it to you.
Nanne Padagottela Nee Power E NacchindiI love the power you wield that sweeps me off my feet.
Mood E Chedagottela Nee Pogare GicchindiYour arrogance teased me, disrupting my peace of mind.
Kanuke Merupai Valapesa Nee MeedaThat’s why I’ve struck like lightning, casting my love on you.
Dooke Dudukai Vollona PadiporaadaCome quickly now and fall right into my embrace.
Nanna Nasha Hon Neeke Vote EsukunnaI’m intoxicated; I’ve cast my vote for you alone.
Ninne Pattesukoni Neepai VottesukunnaHolding onto you tight, I’ve sworn an oath on your life.
Natho Kattesukoni NinneBinding you forever with me.
Lokanne Yeluthundi NuvvainaEven if you’re the one ruling the entire world.
Neethone PandemesukoniI’ve placed a wager with you.
Vetade Lady Queen Nenu KaanI may not be a queen who goes out on the hunt.
Simhanne Longa DeesukoniBut I’m the one who tamed the lion.
Left Right U Neepai Na Sogase GuripedathaI’ll aim my beauty at you from every single side.
Right O Wrong O Neeku Na Vayase Bali PedathaRight or wrong, I’ll sacrifice my youth just for you.
Manase Vethike Mogaadivi Nuvve GaYou’re the very man my heart has been searching for.
Kasitho Ragile Nava Nagini NenegaaI’m a young cobra, burning with intense passion.
Na Na Nasha HonI’m pure intoxication.
Nanna Nasha Hon Neeke Vote EsukunnaI’m intoxicated; I’ve cast my vote for you alone.
Ninne Pattesukoni Neepai VottesukunnaHolding onto you tight, I’ve sworn an oath on your life.
Natho Kattesukoni NinneBinding you forever with me.
Neekosam Vechi Vundi Dil MeraMy heart is waiting right here for you.
Anandam Antha ChesukoraCome and make all this joy your own.
Aratam Daatuthondi PolimeraMy longing is crossing every single boundary.
Aahwanam Manninchi Doriki PoraAccept my invitation and surrender to me now.
Andam Chandam Mottham Attaru La KuripisthaI’ll shower all my beauty on you like sweet perfume.
Khullam Khulla Swargam Anchullo MuripisthaOpenly, I’ll delight you at the very edge of heaven.
Cheliya Chelako Chelaregale ChalaThis playful girl is raging with wild energy.
Segalu Pogalu ChallaraliveelaThe heat and smoke simply can’t cool down yet.
Na Na Nasha HonI’m pure intoxication.
