Bhairavam’s Oo Vennela Lyrics Translation
The lyrics detail the physical effects of this new affection, like floating away like a piece of cotton. Another line describes the other person dropping an anchor and pulling their mind in. The feeling is presented as an irresistible, capturing force.
Arey Gundelona ChappudeHey, there’s a sound inside my heart
Lavvu Ganta KotteroIt’s ringing the bell of love
Hey Nelapaina AduguleHey, my feet on the ground
Kotha SteppuleseroAre dancing a whole new step
Arerere Neelirangu NingilonaWow, in the deep blue sky
Guvvala Gumpu EgirinattuLike a flock of doves taking flight
Oohalanni Okkasari RekkalipperoAll my thoughts have suddenly spread their wings
Ehe Gaalilona Doodhi LaagaLike a piece of cotton in the wind
Theli Theli PoyinattuI’m just floating, floating away
Gaali Edho Sokinattu GolagundiroIt feels like a new wind has stirred up a storm in me
Oo Vennela Nee MaayilaOh moonlight, don’t let your magic
Naa Painila Challi PokalaJust sprinkle over me and then disappear
Oo Vennela Naa RaanilaOh moonlight, like my queen
Noorellila Undipo IlaJust stay like this for a hundred years
O O O Osey Andhaala ChittiOh, you beautiful little thing
Oho Kaalikunna Muvvala PattiYou’re like an anklet that’s found my feet
Aaha Manasune Baaga ChuttiYou’ve wrapped up my mind so tightly
Langaresi LaagesthunnaveAnd dropped an anchor to pull me in
Kallake Kaatuka ChuttiLining your eyes with ‘kohl’
Oho Kaalare Gattiga PattiYou’ve stopped time in its tracks
Aaha Mellaga Matthulo NettiAnd gently pushed me into a daze
Nanne Ila MunchethunnaveYou’re completely overwhelming me
Oy Maatala MaariHey, you weaver of words
Nee Pakkana CheriJust by getting close to you
Naa Dikkulu MaariMy whole world has turned around
Kothaga AyipoyaI’ve become someone new
Nuvvante Naaku Entho NachiI’ve fallen for you so hard
Cheppalenantha Ekkindi PichhiIt’s a madness I can’t even describe
Thaali Theesukoni Kattey VachiJust come and tie the sacred ‘thaali’ thread
The song presents a back-and-forth between two people who are equally swept away. They move from describing internal feelings to a direct request to stay together for a hundred years. The meaning of the ‘Oo Vennela’ lyrics points to this mutual and immediate devotion.
