What is the meaning of Karma Lyrics from Kantara Chapter -1?
Thrilok Vikram’s poetry offers a striking line: ‘The garland of flowers you wore while boasting of your pride, has it shed its petals to become a noose by tomorrow?’ He uses this image to show how pride can lead to downfall. The songwriter crafts a story of destiny and its inevitable consequences.
Karmada kallanu edavida manujanaIf a man trips over the stone of his own karma,
Beralina gaayavu maayaduthe wound on his toe will never heal.
Dharmava darpake bali kodo durularaTo the wicked who sacrifice righteousness for pride,
Aluvige daivavu sooladuthe Divine will never surrender to their tears.
Appalisi dhareyannae nungo ghora sidiluAs the terrifying thunder crashes down to swallow the earth,
Bikkalisutta bhoomi thaaya madilu kelithenudid Mother Earth hear the sobbing from within her lap?
O garbadalle aada gaaya hanebarahaYour destiny is a wound formed within the womb,
Badukidi maddu huduki aledaaduveand you’ll spend your whole life searching for a cure.
Yaara jothe ariyade ninna kalahaYou don’t even know who you’re fighting against,
Ninnannee neenu huduki kaleduhoguveebut you’ll lose yourself while searching for who you are.
Nungikondarunoo maado paapanellaa gangeEven if the holy Ganges swallows every sin you’ve committed,
Bittu hoguttaale pashchatapa nange ningeshe leaves behind only regret for you and me.
Darpadali merevaaga totta hoova maaleThe garland of flowers you wore while boasting of your pride,
Naalege hoovu uduri kunikeyaayithenohas it shed its petals to become a noose by tomorrow?
O saaviginta ghora shaapa ee badukuThis life is a curse far worse than death itself,
Vyatheyella kaleva maddu chiteyallideand the only medicine for your pain lies within the funeral pyre.
Aadiyalli antyavuntu elladakkuEverything has its end written into its beginning,
Nadeve neenadara sulivu sigalaaradeyet you walk on without even a hint of what’s coming.
Nettaraagi hoyte hetta thaaya ede haaluHas the milk from your mother’s breast turned into blood?
Aada paapadalli helu yaardeshtu paaluTell me, how much of this sin belongs to you?
What does ‘Karma’ mean? The lyrics describe the inescapable consequences of one’s actions. Sankarakumar P.S and Venkatesh D. C. bring this Kannada track to life with their voices.
