Oh Priyaa Na Priyaa Lyrics Translation (from “Mehbooba”)
Bhaskarabhatla Ravi Kumar asks who drew these borders on our earth with enmity. He writes that if they knew love, they would not draw this line. When lovers are apart, every day becomes a silent war.
Oh Priyaa Na PriyaaOh my love, my dearest.
Oh Priyaa Na PriyaaOh my love, my dearest.
Mehbooba MehboobaMy beloved, my beloved.
Oh Priyaa Na PriyaaOh my love, my dearest.
Oh Priyaa Na PriyaaOh my love, my dearest.
MehboobaMy beloved.
Premalo Paddamani LopalaNow that I’ve fallen in love,
Kallaki Kanneerento KaapalaMy eyes are guarded by tears.
Nuvvu Daggarunte Ye YuddhamainaWhen you’re near, even war itself,
Nisshabdam InnallugaHas been silent all this time.
Nuvvu Dooramaithe NisshabdangaBut when you’re away, silently,
Prathi Roju Yuddham KadhaEvery day becomes a war, doesn’t it?
Mehbooba MehboobaMy beloved, my beloved.
Oh Priyaa Na PriyaaOh my love, my dearest.
Oh Priyaa Na PriyaaOh my love, my dearest.
Levule Ye Gaaliki AankshaleThe wind knows no restrictions,
Ningiki Lenelevu EllaluThe sky has no limits.
Mana Matti Meeda PagabattiSo on our earth, full of hatred,
Evaru Geesharo SarihadduluWho is it that drew these borders?
Premante Ento Telisunte VaalluIf they had ever known what love is,
Ee Geetha GeesundaruThey never would’ve drawn this line.
Mehbooba MehboobaMy beloved, my beloved.
Oh Priyaa Na PriyaaOh my love, my dearest.
Oh Priyaa Na PriyaaOh my love, my dearest.
Mehbooba MehboobaMy beloved, my beloved.
