HanuMan’s Poolamme Pilla Lyrics Translation
The lyrics use rustic comparisons to show his helplessness. He feels caught by her glance like a fish struggling in a net. He later asks her to prescribe “love medicine” to cure the fever she has caused in him.
Poolamme Pilla Poolamme PillaOh flower-selling girl, oh flower-selling girl
Gundenu Illa Dandaga AllaYou’ve woven my heart just like a garland
Poolamme PillaOh flower-selling girl
Poolamme Pilla Poolamme PillaOh flower-selling girl, oh flower-selling girl
Ammayi Jallo Cheredi EllaHow can I ever reach the flowers in your hair?
Poolamme PillaOh flower-selling girl
Mooredu Poole Maa RaanikeeveGive two arm’s lengths of flowers for my queen
Chaaredu Champalle Sureedai PooseleYour rosy cheeks bloomed bright as the sun
Erraga Kandele Nunnani BuggaleYour smooth cheeks have turned a deep red
Pilla Palleru Kaaya SoopullaGirl, with a glance like a thorny fruit
Sikki Alladinane SepallaI’m caught and struggling just like a fish
Pasidi Pachani ArasethullaIn your golden, henna-painted palms
Daaraposta Praanalu Thaane AdagaalaI’d give my life, does she even have to ask?
Seethakokalle Rekka VippelaLike a butterfly spreading its wings
Navvi Naalona Rangu NimpalaYour smile fills my world with color
Hey Malli Andala SenduMalliHey, you’re a beautiful marigold flower
Gandhalu Meeda JalliSprinkling your fragrance all over me
Nanu Munci VeseneYou’ve completely drowned me in it
Thanapai Manasu JaariMy heart slipped and fell for her
Vachha Yeri KoriI came here searching just for her
Mooredu Poole Maa RaanikeeveGive two arm’s lengths of flowers for my queen
Chaaredu Champalle Sureedai PooseleYour rosy cheeks bloomed bright as the sun
Erraga Kandele Nunnani BuggaleYour smooth cheeks have turned a deep red
Pilla Alladipoyi Nee VallaGirl, I’m completely undone because of you
Udiki Jaramochinattu NiluvellaIt’s like a fever is boiling through my body
Balame Lekunda Poye GundellaThere’s no strength left inside my heart
Prema Mande Raasiyye Moodu PootallaPrescribe me ‘love medicine’ three times a day
Elli Pothunte Nuvvu VeedhullaWhen you’re just walking down the street
Thulli Oogindhe Ollu UyyalaMy whole body leaps and sways like a cradle
Hey Thella Thellani Kotu PillaHey girl in the bright white blouse
Dachesi Jebulalla Nanu MosukellaveHide me away inside your pocket and carry me off
Patnam SandamamaYou’re the moon of the city
Sinna Naati PremaA love from my younger days
Poolamme Pilla Poolamme PillaOh flower-selling girl, oh flower-selling girl
Ammayi Jallo Cheredi EllaHow can I ever reach the flowers in your hair?
Poolamme PillaOh flower-selling girl
Mooredu Poole Maa RaanikeeveGive two arm’s lengths of flowers for my queen
Chaaredu Champalle Sureedai PooseleYour rosy cheeks bloomed bright as the sun
Erraga Kandele Nunnani BuggaleYour smooth cheeks have turned a deep red
Poolamme Pilla Music Video
The song uses exaggerated, rural imagery to explain the power of a first crush. He feels so small he asks her to carry him away in her pocket. This approach presents a humble hero’s total surrender to an overwhelming new feeling.
