Padesave
Karthik | Mm Manasi • From “Akhil”
Padesave Lyrics Translation (from “Akhil”)
Bhaskarabhatla Ravi Kumar describes fire turning cold and water igniting. Mm Manasi and Karthik sing of sighs tasting sweet and honey losing flavor, framing love as a sensory reversal.
Padesave Padesave Nee Maayalo Nannu PadesaveYou made me fall, you made me fall, you’ve made me fall into your magic.
Padesave Padesave Nee Maikam Lone PadesaveYou made me fall, you made me fall, you’ve trapped me in your intoxication.
Tu Mera Pyaar Dil De De YaarYou’re my love, so give me your heart, my dear.
Nee Neetho Chestunale Oohallo VihaarI’m wandering through my dreams with you.
Tu Mera Pyaar Dil De De YaarYou’re my love, so give me your heart, my dear.
Thene Sappagunade Ufu ThiyyagunadeHoney tastes bland now, and even a sigh feels sweet.
Neeru Bhaggumanade Nippu ChallagunadeWater’s catching fire, and the flames feel cold.
Ollu Thuluthunade OopiragutunnadeMy body’s swaying, and I’m losing my breath.
Cheli AagamaruponaOh girl, I’ve completely lost myself.
Padesave Padesave Nee Maayalo Nannu PadesaveYou made me fall, you made me fall, you’ve made me fall into your magic.
Padesave Padesave Nee Maikam Lone PadesaveYou made me fall, you made me fall, you’ve trapped me in your intoxication.
Padesave Padesave Nee Maayalo Nannu PadesaveYou made me fall, you made me fall, you’ve made me fall into your magic.
Padesave Padesave Nee Maikam Lone PadesaveYou made me fall, you made me fall, you’ve trapped me in your intoxication.
Nanu Kaani Vini Erugani Alajadito Thosesavu RaYou’ve pushed me into a restlessness I’ve never known before.
Na Manasuki Matimarupu Endukila Em Chesavu RaWhy’s my mind so forgetful? What’ve you done to me?
Ninu Kalavaka Mundara Ledu Ila HonIt wasn’t like this before I met you.
Prema Okkadanike Enni MaayalunnaviHow many illusions does this thing called love have?
Prema Puttinakane Baadha HaayiguntadiOnce love is born, even pain starts to feel pleasant.
Sudi Mettaguntadi Dudi GuchugunadiA whirlpool feels soft, and cotton feels like it’s pricking.
Prema Kaalu PettinakeThat’s just what happens when love enters your life.
Padesave Padesave Nee Maayalo Nannu PadesaveYou made me fall, you made me fall, you’ve made me fall into your magic.
Padesave Padesave Nee Maikam Lone PadesaveYou made me fall, you made me fall, you’ve trapped me in your intoxication.
Padesave Padesave Nee Maayalo Nannu PadesaveYou made me fall, you made me fall, you’ve made me fall into your magic.
Naa Pidkedu Manasuku Endukano Ishtam Nuvvu RaFor some reason, my tiny heart has fallen for you.
Ara Secondu Oka Padi Padi Rakamuluga Gurthostavu RaYou come to my mind in ten different ways every half second.
Ee Tikamaka Idivarakereganu Ra HonI’ve never known this kind of confusion before.
Ningi Kinda Untadi Nela Paina UntadiThe sky’s down below, and the ground’s up above.
Cheyyi Jaaruthuntadi Gontu AaruthuntadiI’m losing my grip, and my throat’s gone dry.
Rendu Aksharalalo Vela LakshanaliveThese are the thousands of traits found in two simple letters.
Arere Prema Ante IntheOh, so this is what love is all about.
Padesave Padesave Nee Maayalo Nannu PadesaveYou made me fall, you made me fall, you’ve made me fall into your magic.
Padesave Padesave Nee Maikam Lone PadesaveYou made me fall, you made me fall, you’ve trapped me in your intoxication.
Padesave Padesave Nee Maayalo Nannu PadesaveYou made me fall, you made me fall, you’ve made me fall into your magic.
Tu Mera Pyaar Dil De De YaarYou’re my love, so give me your heart, my dear.
