Eknaath • From “JIGRIS”
JIGRIS’s Meereley Telugu Lyrics English Translation
Harish Reddy Uppula’s words describe mistaking dampness for a raindrop, then realizing they are his own tears. Eknaath conveys that without the other person, he is nothing; his movements merely their shadows.
O Taakaga Tadi YedhoOh, when I felt some dampness,
Chinukemo AnukunnaI thought it was a raindrop.
Kadhadhi NenenaBut wasn’t it me?
Kanneeruga KurisanaaDid I fall as tears instead?
O Nela Raalina AakunainaOh, even for a leaf that’s fallen to the ground,
Praanam MigilenaDoes life still remain?
Meeru Leka AstaminchanaWithout you, won’t I just fade away,
Repannadhi LekaWith no tomorrow in sight?
MeereleIt’s always been you.
Kanule Vetiketi Naa TodeYou’re the companion my eyes always search for,
Kalaga Mugisindhi Mana KathaleBut our story has ended, like a dream.
Nenani VeraitheIf I become separate from myself,
Velivestha Nanu NeneI’ll cast myself out.
Meere Lekunte Nen OntareIf you’re not here, I’m utterly alone.
Adugai Kadhileti Mee NeedaleEven my steps are just your moving shadows.
Ye Chota Ne ChoosinaWherever I may look,
Mee Jnaapakalo LenaAm I not still in your memories?
MeereleIt’s always been you.
Naa Chinnanati Prathi GuruthuYou’re every memory from my childhood,
Migile Kadhalaga KadavarakuLingering as stories until the very end.
Kannulu Rendani VidadheesiCan you split your two eyes,
Oka Choopuki ChebuthavaAnd tell me with a single glance,
Meerani Nenani VeruganeThat you and I are now truly separate?
Ikapai Dhaare SaageWill our paths continue apart from now on?
Meerani Nenani VeruganeThat you and I are truly separate?
Ikapai Dhaare SaageWill our paths continue apart from now on?
