Needhe Needhe
Rihitha • From “Gopala Gopala”
Needhe Needhe Lyrics Translation (from “Gopala Gopala”)
The song asks whether God exists in idols or human creation. Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry shifts focus inward: “If you become a hand that serves in friendship, do you not become God yourself?” Rihitha’s vocals emphasize self-realization over external worship.
Brahmale Nine Ninu SrushtinchananukonaShould I believe that even the Creator, Brahma, made you?
Bommale Nuvve Nannu PuttinchavanukonaOr should I believe that you, as idols, created me?
Nammukuntundo NavvukuntundoWill your heart believe it, or will it just laugh?
Yemi Antundo Nee BhavanaWhat will your inner feelings say?
Needhe Needhe Prashna NeedheThe question is yours, and yours alone.
Needhe Needhe Badulu NeedheThe answer is yours, and yours alone.
Nee Deham Lo PranamlaLike the life force flowing within your body.
Velige Kanthi Naa Navve AniThe light that glows there is my smile.
Nee Gundello Palike NaadamThe melody echoing in your heart.
Naa Pedavi Pai Murali DaniIs the sound of the ‘divine flute’ on my lips.
Telusuko Galige Telivi NeekundeYou’ve got the wisdom to realize this.
Teralu Tolagisthe Velugu VasthundeIf you pull back the curtains, the light will shine through.
Needhe Needhe Swapnam NeedheThe dream is yours, and yours alone.
Needhe Needhe Satyam NeedheThe truth is yours, and yours alone.
Maula Mere Maula Mere Maula MereMy Lord, my Lord, my Lord.
Maula Mere Maula Mere Maula MereMy Lord, my Lord, my Lord.
Aaye Khuda Aaye Khuda Aaye KhudaOh God, oh God, oh God.
Maula Mere Maula Mere Maula MereMy Lord, my Lord, my Lord.
Maula Mere Maula Mere Maula MereMy Lord, my Lord, my Lord.
Yekkadekkadekkadani Dikkulanni TirigitheIf you wander everywhere asking ‘Where is He?’
Ninnu Nuvvu Choodagalava Oh RabbaCan you ever really see yourself, oh Lord?
Karunatho Karigina Maadi MandiramunaIn the ‘temple of a heart’ that’s melted with compassion.
Koluvai Nuvvu Leva Oh RabbaDon’t you already reside there, oh Lord?
Akadakkadakkadani Neeli Ningi ThadimiteIf you search the blue skies high and low.
Ninnu Nuvvu Thakagalava Oh RabbaCan you ever touch your true self, oh Lord?
Chelimini Panchanga Chachina Cheyyi VaitheIf you become the hand that reaches out in friendship.
Daivam Nuvvu Kaava Aaye KhudaDon’t you become God yourself, oh God?
Needhe Needhe Dharmam NeedheThe duty is yours, and yours alone.
Needhe Needhe Marmam NeedheThe mystery is yours, and yours alone.
