Bro’s Jeevame Lyrics Translation
The lyrics strip away personal identity by addressing cherished family roles. A line notes that even if you act like a father or brother, your part is temporary and you will not return. It later adds that time does not stop when one person is gone.
Evaritho EvaramooWho are we with, in this journey?
Chivariki MigalamuIn the end, we are left alone.
Thalli Pegu ThalladillinaEven if a mother’s very core trembles with pain,
Chelli Kannu Chemma GillinaEven if a sister’s eyes well up with tears,
Gunde ChappudaagipovutaThe silencing of a heartbeat,
AapalemuleYou simply cannot prevent.
Naannalaagaa Baruvu MosinaThough you’ve shouldered burdens like a father,
Anna Vayyi Daari VesinaThough you’ve paved a thousand paths like a brother,
Vellipoye Paathra NeedhiraaYour role is one of departure,
Malli RaavuleAnd you will not return.
Moonnaalla JeevameThis life lasts but for a moment,
Choosthunte MaayameIt’s an illusion that vanishes as you watch,
Poyedi JeevameIt is life that fades away,
Cheredi DaivameAnd it is the divine that it reaches.
Nuvvu UnnanninaalluFor as long as you are here,
DeepamavvaraaBecome a guiding light,
Thoti DeepaalalonaAnd among the other lights around you,
Kaanthi NimparaaFill them with your brilliance.
Nuvvu LekunteIf you are gone,
KaalamaagipoduraaTime itself will not stop,
Kaala GarbhaanaIn the womb of time,
Antha OkkatenuraaEverything is one and the same.
Jeevame JeevameOh, this life, this life,
Jeevame JeevameOh, this life, this life.
JeevameThis life.
Brahma Poorna BruhaspoorthiA complete inspiration, born of the creator,
Sa Brahmi Poorva SamaakruthiThat divine form, which was the first creation,
Prapavra Garva NirvaanavrutthiA state of being, free from worldly pride and attachment.
Vishweshreyaa SamarvathiDedicated to the well-being of the universe,
Suvighnasreeya ShikhadyuthiA radiant peak of auspicious light,
Videha Gehava JagruthiAn awakening that knows neither body nor home.
Moonnaalla JeevameThis life lasts but for a moment,
Choosthunte MaayameIt’s an illusion that vanishes as you watch,
Poyedi JeevameIt is life that fades away,
Cheredi DaivameAnd it is the divine that it reaches.
Nuvvu UnnanninaalluFor as long as you are here,
DeepamavvaraaBecome a guiding light,
Thoti DeepaalalonaAnd among the other lights around you,
“Jeevame” serves as a blunt reminder of mortality from a cosmic viewpoint. The song dismantles feelings of self-importance by showing that all people are equal within the grand scale of time. This makes the lyrics’ meaning a stark lesson about the temporary nature of human existence.
