Khaidi No. 150’s Neeru Neeru Lyrics Translation

Lyricist Ramajogayya Sastry asks if streams of tears can quench thirst or grow crops, showing the farmer’s helplessness. The lyrics later present hunger as a force that takes its own life. This detail moves beyond personal suffering to describe the complete death of a livelihood.

Neeru Neeru NeeruWater, water, water.
Raithu Kanta NeeruTears in the farmer’s eyes.
Choodanaina ChoodarevvarooBut no one even bothers to look.
Gundelani BeeduHearts have become barren land.
Aashalanni ModuAll hopes are now lifeless stumps.
Aadarinchu NaadhudevvaruThere is no one to offer comfort.
Annadaata GoduThe food provider’s cries…
Ningi Nante Nedu…reach the sky today.
Aalakinchu Vaaru EvvaruBut there is no one there to listen.
Neeru Neeru NeeruWater, water, water.
Raithu Kanta NeeruTears in the farmer’s eyes.
Choodanaina ChoodarevvarooBut no one even bothers to look.
Gontu Endee PoyeMy throat has gone dry.
Pegu MandipoyeMy stomach is burning.
Ganga Thalli Jaada LedaniBecause there’s no sign of Mother Ganga.
Neeti Paina AashayeThe very hope I had for water…
Neeru Gaari Poye…has drained away itself.
Raatha Maare Daari LedaniIt seems there’s no way to change my fate.
Daaham AarutundaCan this thirst be quenched?
Pairu PandutundaCan these crops be grown?
Dhaaralaina Kanti NeetithoWith these streams of flowing tears?
Neeru Neeru NeeruWater, water, water.
Raithu Kanta NeeruTears in the farmer’s eyes.
Choodanaina ChoodarevvarooBut no one even bothers to look.
Gundelanni BeeduHearts have become barren land.
Aashalanni ModuAll hopes are now lifeless stumps.
Aadarinchu NaadhudevvaruThere is no one to offer comfort.
Nela Thalli Nedu VangilaaripoyeeToday, Mother Earth has bent and broken.
Moogaboyee Rythu NaagaliThe farmer’s plough has fallen silent.
Aayuvantha Choodu AarthanaadhamaayeLook, his whole life has become a cry of anguish.
Gontu Kosukundi AakhaliHunger itself has slit its own throat.

Neeru Neeru Music Video

The song connects the farmer’s internal anguish directly to the parched, broken earth. A silent plough and a bent “Nela Thalli” (Mother Earth) represent the total collapse of a provider’s world. This “Neeru Neeru” lyrics translation shows how the loss of water becomes the loss of all hope.
