Ninna MunimaapulloYesterday during ‘twilight’,
Ninna MunimaapulloIn the quiet of yesterday’s evening,
Niddarovu Nee OlloI was sleeping in your lap.
Gaalalle Thelipothavo Ila DolaloogevoYou’ll float like the breeze or swing like a cradle.
Anandala Ardharathri Andala GurthulloIn the beautiful memories of a blissful midnight,
Ninnu Valapinchanilet me make you fall for me.
Manam Chediri VilapinchaniLet us drift away and cry out in joy.
Kurula Nokkullo Nalupe ChukkalloIn the curls of your hair and the dark ‘beauty marks’,
Kurula Nokkullo Nalupe Chukkallowithin the waves of your hair and those tiny black spots,
Garvamanichenu Le Na Garvamanigenu Lemy pride has been humbled, yes, my pride’s faded away.
Snehithuda Snehithuda Rahasya SnehithudaOh friend, oh friend, my secret friend.
Chinna Chinna Na Korikale Allukunna SnehithudaYou’re the friend who’s woven all my tiny desires together.
Ide Sakalam Sarvam Ide Valapu GelupuThis is my everything, this is the victory of love.
Swasa Thudi Varaku Velige VedamIt’s a ‘sacred scripture’ that’ll shine until my last breath.
Vanchalanni Varamaina Prana BandhamA soul bond where every wish becomes a blessing.
Snehithuda Snehithuda Rahasya SnehithudaOh friend, oh friend, my secret friend.
Chinna Chinna Haddu Meera VacchunoyWe’re allowed to cross those tiny boundaries.
Ee Jivithana Pula Puntha VeyyavoyCome and lay a path of flowers through this life.

Puvvu Kose Bhakthudalle Metthaga Nenu NidrapotheWhile I’m softly sleeping like a devotee plucking a flower,
Letha Gollu Gillavoypinch me gently with your nails.
Sandello ThoduvoyBe my companion in the evenings.
