Malli Malli Lyrics Meaning Shankar Mahadevan | Nenu Naa Rakshasi
Rehman compares love to repeated lightning strikes in Telugu. Shankar Mahadevan describes heartfire with ‘Gundellona Godavala’ and ‘Nimishaniki 60 Sarlu,’ showing love’s physical toll through sleepless searching.
Malli Malli Merupula Na Kallanu Takindi O KalaA dream has touched my eyes like a flash of lightning, striking again and again.
Adi Champestundi Rojila Ragile SegalaIt’s killing me like a raging fire that burns all day long.
Gundellona Godavala Arey Chiche PettindentilaWhat’s this chaos in my heart? It’s like she’s set a fire inside!
Ehe Marchesindi Nannila Nadiche KalalaShe’s changed me completely; now I’m just a walking dream.
Nimishaniki 60 Sarlu Pedavini Podichinde TootluSixty times a minute, her memory pierces my lips like a bullet.
Aakalini Nidurani Marichi Aluperugaka Vetika VetikaForgetting hunger and sleep, I’ve searched and searched without rest.
Malli Malli Merupula Na Kallanu Takindi O KalaA dream has touched my eyes like a flash of lightning, striking again and again.
Adi Champestundi Rojila Ragile SegalaIt’s killing me like a raging fire that burns all day long.
Gundellona Godavala Arey Chiche PettindentilaWhat’s this chaos in my heart? It’s like she’s set a fire inside!
Ehe Marchesindi Nannila Nadiche KalalaShe’s changed me completely; now I’m just a walking dream.
Adi Monalisa Chellelo Arey Moham Penche VennelloIs she the Mona Lisa’s younger sister? Is she the moonlight that heightens desire?
Adi Banganiki Bandhuvo Na Daham Tirche BinduvoIs she a relative of pure gold? Is she the drop that quenches my thirst?
Evaridi Asalevaridi Intala Nanu Niluvuna Tadapina Tolakari Chinukunu Vetika VetikaWho is she? Who is she really? I’ve been searching for the first raindrop that soaked me to the bone.
Malli Malli Merupula Na Kallanu Takindi O KalaA dream has touched my eyes like a flash of lightning, striking again and again.
Adi Champestundi Rojila Ragile SegalaIt’s killing me like a raging fire that burns all day long.
Gundellona Godavala Arey Chiche PettindentilaWhat’s this chaos in my heart? It’s like she’s set a fire inside!
Ehe Marchesindi Nannila Nadiche KalalaShe’s changed me completely; now I’m just a walking dream.
Em Paniledu Emito Na Pai Tanaki Hakku EmitoDoes she have nothing else to do? What right does she have over me?
Nanne Naku Veruga Nettesey E Palana EmitoWhat kind of rule is this, separating me from my own self?
Hai Idi Toli Digulidhi Vintaga Eda Tolichina Sogasari Chilakanu Vetika VetikaThis is my first true heartache; strangely, I’ve searched for the beauty who hollowed out my heart.
Malli Malli Merupula Na Kallanu Takindi O KalaA dream has touched my eyes like a flash of lightning, striking again and again.
Adi Champestundi Rojila Ragile SegalaIt’s killing me like a raging fire that burns all day long.
Gundellona Godavala Arey Chiche PettindentilaWhat’s this chaos in my heart? It’s like she’s set a fire inside!
Ehe Marchesindi Nannila Nadiche KalalaShe’s changed me completely; now I’m just a walking dream.
Nimishaniki 60 Sarlu Pedavini Podichinde TootluSixty times a minute, her memory pierces my lips like a bullet.
Aakalini Nidurani Marichi Aluperugaka Vetika VetikaForgetting hunger and sleep, I’ve searched and searched without rest.
