Ondu Dina Madya Ratriyalli Lyrics English Translation by B K Sumitra
Sumitra describes a celestial figure holding a ruby veena and book, referencing Saraswati’s iconography. After bowing reverently, the dreamer asks the goddess to reveal her identity.
Ondu Dina RaatriyaliOne night, I had a dream.
Kande KanasonduI saw a vivid dream.
Banna Bannada BelakaliIn the glow of colorful light,
Kande Divya SwaroopavonduI saw a divine form.
Ondu Dina RaatriyaliOne night, I had a dream.
Kande KanasonduI saw a vivid dream.
Banna Bannada BelakaliIn the glow of colorful light,
Kande Divya SwaroopavonduI saw a divine form.
Ondu Kaiyalli Maanikya VeeneA ruby ‘Veena’ in one hand,
Ondu Kaiyalli PustakaA book held in the other.
Ondu Kaiyalli Maanikya VeeneA ruby ‘Veena’ in one hand,
Ondu Kaiyalli PustakaA book held in the other.
Cheluvina Haneyali Kunkuma TilakaA vermilion ‘Tilaka’ on her beautiful forehead,
Koralali Hoovugala MaalikaAnd a garland of flowers around her neck.
Ondu Dina RaatriyaliOne night, I had a dream.
Kande KanasonduI saw a vivid dream.
Kande KanasonduI saw a vivid dream.
Haalu Hunnime Holuva MoguvuHer face shining like the milky full moon,
Naidile Hoovanu Holuva KannuHer eyes resembling the blue lotus.
Haalu Hunnime Holuva MoguvuHer face shining like the milky full moon,
Naidile Hoovanu Holuva KannuHer eyes resembling the blue lotus.
Kamala Karagadali Ratnada KankanaJeweled bangles on her lotus-like hands,
Naguve Avala AabharanaAnd her smile is her true ornament.
Ondu Dina RaatriyaliOne night, I had a dream.
Kande KanasonduI saw a vivid dream.
Kande KanasonduI saw a vivid dream.
Baliyali Hogi Namisuta TaayeI approached her and bowed down, Mother,
Neenyarendu KelideAnd I asked, ‘Who are you?’
Baliyali Hogi Namisuta TaayeI approached her and bowed down, Mother,

Sharade Sharade SharadeSharade, Sharade, Sharade.
Ondu Dina RaatriyaliOne night, I had a dream.
Kande KanasonduI saw a vivid dream.
Banna Bannada BelakaliIn the glow of colorful light,
Kande Divya SwaroopavonduI saw a divine form.
