Yevade Subramanyam’s O Kala Telugu Lyrics English Meaning
Ananta Sriram describes discovering a shadow becomes the singer’s long-sought light. Harini questions how to teach her restless heart stillness now bound to this presence.
O Kala O KalaOh dream, oh dream.
Chudake AlaDon’t look at me like that.
Hey Ila Nee Vala Allithe ElaHey, how can you weave a web around me like this?
Maro PrapanchameA whole other world…
Ala Varinchaga…is choosing me like that.
Parugulu These Na EdakiTo my heart that’s racing,
Nilakada Nerpedelahow can I teach it to be still?
Kuduruga Unte ManchidaniTelling it that being steady is better,
Venakaki Lagedelahow can I pull it back?
O Kala O KalaOh dream, oh dream.
Chudake AlaDon’t look at me like that.
Kannule Vethike Veluthoru NeedaniThat the light my eyes were searching for is your shadow,
Ipude Ipude TelisinadiI’ve only just realized it now.
Thanane Piliche Pilupulu NeevaniThat the calls meant for ‘the one’ are actually yours,
Vayasu Ipude Thelchukunnadimy heart has finally decided now.
Niduraki Cherithe Jola NuvveYou’re the lullaby when I drift to sleep,
Melukuva Vachina Eduta Nuvveand you’re right there when I wake up.
Ika Ninnu Veedatam Ela Adi ElaNow, how can I ever leave you? Just how?
O Kala O KalaOh dream, oh dream.
Chudake AlaDon’t look at me like that.
Edama Kudilo Evaru LeraniThat there’s no one else in my heart’s chambers,
Vanike Pedavi Palikinadimy trembling lips have confessed.
Nijame Palike Choravani CheyavaniBecause you won’t take the lead to speak the truth,
Nasiginadi Nachakannadimy heart grumbled, saying it didn’t like it.
Manasuki Cheruva Prathi OkaruEveryone who was once close to my heart
Manakika Dhooramai Anni Veduruhas become distant, and everything’s a struggle.
Mari Ninnu Cheradam Ela Adi ElaSo, how can I reach you? Just how?
O Kala O KalaOh dream, oh dream.
Chudake AlaDon’t look at me like that.
