Kanguva Movie’s Mannimpu Lyrics English (with Translation)
Tanane Toliche Manushulake, Daham Teerchu Nela Gunam
The earth has a quality to quench the thirst of those who dig it.
Tanane Viriche Chetulake, Needai Kache Chettu Ganam
The tree has a character to shade those who cut it.
Tanane Tunche Galulake, Gandham Poose Poolavanam
The flower has a nature to spread fragrance to the wind that plucks it.
Tanane Voliche Uli Debbalake, Shilpam Ichche Rayitanam
The stone has a virtue to give sculpture to the hands that chisel it.
Mannipu Ledante, Ee Lokana Yedi Ledule
Without forgiveness, there’s nothing in this world.
Manniche Hrudayanki, Ye Badha Radule
A forgiving heart knows no sorrow.
Mannipu Ledante Ee Lokana Yedi Ledule
Without forgiveness, there’s nothing in this world.
Manniche Hrudayanki Ye Badha Radule
A forgiving heart knows no sorrow.
Karadavini Kalche Chichchuvu Kava, Pagato Unte Nityam
Do you want to be the fire that burns the forest with rage forever?
Aa Vedini Dati Veluguvu Kava, Manniste Konchem
Or do you want to be the light that crosses the heat with a little forgiveness?
Padi Tadabadutune Porabadutune, Nerche Manushula Naijam
Humans learn by stumbling and making mistakes.
Prati Tappunu Pagato Dandiste, Ika Migiledi Shoonyam
If every mistake is punished with vengeance, all that remains is emptiness.
Ye Neram Erugani Akulanu, Kanneeruga Ralche Kalam
What sin did the innocent leaves commit to shed tears?
Malli Toli Chigurulu Ichchi, Manpestundi Tanu Chesina Gayam
Spring arrives again, offering new buds and healing the wounds.
Mannipu Ledante, Ee Lokana Yedi Ledule
Without forgiveness, there’s nothing in this world.
Manniche Hrudayanki, Ye Badha Radule
A forgiving heart knows no sorrow.
Mannipu Ledante, Ee Lokana Yedi Ledule
Without forgiveness, there’s nothing in this world.
Manniche Hrudayanki, Ye Badha Radule
A forgiving heart knows no sorrow.
Oka Enugu Karisham Vedini Chusi, Vellina Dooram Chebuta
By the warmth of the elephant’s dung, I can tell how far it has traveled.
Puli Vesina Jadala Lothunu Kolichi, Baruvemto Chebuta
By the depth of the tiger’s footprints, I can tell how much it weighs.
Okka Nakke Vese Uulanu Vintoo, Akali Ento Chebuta
By listening to the howls of a single fox, I can tell how hungry it is.
Tooneegalu Egire Veganto, Varsham Vainam Chebuta
By the speed of the dragonflies, I can tell when the rain will fall.
Oka Chinna Alikiditona, Adavantha Kanipedutane
With a small rustle, I can perceive the entire forest.
Bidda Nee Manasunu Matram, Anthe Chikkaka Vetikestunnane
But my dear son, your heart alone remains an unsolvable puzzle to me.
Mannipu Ledante, Ee Lokana Yedi Ledule
Without forgiveness, there’s nothing in this world.
Manniche Hrudayanki, Ye Badha Radule
A forgiving heart knows no sorrow.
Mannipu Ledante, Ee Lokana Yedi Ledule
Without forgiveness, there’s nothing in this world.
Manniche Hrudayanki, Ye Badha Radule
A forgiving heart knows no sorrow.
