Sonu Nigam | Sanjith Hegde’s Mayavi Lyrics (with English Translation)
Mathalle Minchu Thanda Nannavale Ee Mayavi,
The girl who brought lightning with her words, this enchantress,
Chandranne Jhumki Madi Itkondidlu Hayagi,
She casually wears the moon as her earring.
Muddada Kannigondu,
For her lovely eyes,
Putta Aa Kennogondu Nakshathra Thandu Kodalenu Mayavi,
And for that cute cheek, should I bring a star, oh enchantress?
Mayavi Minugu Neenu, Munjane Bisilu Neenu,
You embody the excitement surrounding magic, akin to the first light of dawn.
Saladhiro Hadu Neenu, Bekeniso Sanje Neenu,
You’re the song that never fades, the sunset I always crave.
Edheya Dhunige Belaku Neene, Neenadhe Neenadhe,
With the fire in my heart, you’re the light that shines.
Yariradha Rastheyalli, Santhaiso Avale Gali,
Sagaradha Baninalli, Kangoliso Avale Neeli,
She’s the soothing breeze on quiet roads, the sky stretching over the sea.
Samaya Nee Ninthodhe, Avala Angayyalle,
Nanoonu Sharanadhe, Avala Gunginalle,
Time pauses in her hands, and I surrender in her embrace.
Sothe Hodhe Sothe Hodhe,
I’ve lost myself in her.
Nee Modhala Koneya Aase, Nanna Edhege Hidiso Bhashe,
You’re the first and last longing—the language my heart understands.
Anuragadhali Konebeedhiyali, Nanagu Ninagu Mane Madiruve,
Olage Baralu Thada Inneke, Kitakeele Na Kadhe,
A home awaits us at Love’s Last Road. Why delay coming inside? I’m here waiting by the window.
Yaro Na Yaro Kanasalli Yaru Iradhaga,
Who am I, lost in fantasies without you?
Nannavala Manasalli Nanage Bekitthu Jaga,
I yearn for a place in the heart of my love.
Ee Hrudhaya Mouna Aaguvaaga, Mathu Hege Aadali,
When my heart falls silent, how could words still flow?
Huduki Hodhe Ello Dhooori, Nine Sikka Shayari,
I’ve wandered far, and it’s you I’ve found as my verse.
Sothe Hodhe Sothe Hodhe,
I’ve lost myself in you.
Nee Modhala Koneya Aase, Nanna Edhege Hidiso Bhashe,
You’re the first and last desire, the language my heart holds close.
Anuragadhali Konebeedhiyali, Nanagu Ninagu Mane Madiruve,
Olage Baralu Thada Inneke, Kitakeele Na Kadhe,
A home awaits us at Love’s Last Road. Why delay coming inside? I’m here waiting by the window.
