Prathi Gaadhalo
Krishna Kanth | Ravi Basrur • From “Salaar Cease Fire – Telugu”
Prathi Gaadhalo Lyrics Translation (from “Salaar Cease Fire – Telugu”)
Krishna Kanth tells the story of a warrior who turns into a monster. He writes, ‘Hold courage, even as your body withers.’ The lyrics describe virtues carved in stone.
Prathi gaathalo raakshasude himsalu pedthaaduIn every story, a monster inflicts suffering.
Anachagane pudathadu raje okaduAnd as soon as he’s suppressed, a king is born.
Shathruvune kadadherche panilo mana rajuOur king is busy finishing off his enemies,
Himsalane marigaadu manchini marichebut he’s grown fond of violence and forgotten his goodness.
Aa neechudi anthu choosaadu pantham tho poraadiHe saw the end of that vile man by fighting with grit.
Krodhamtho maari poyadu thaane oka rakkasudaiBut he’s changed with rage, becoming a monster himself.
Sadhinche gunam undaali balavanthudaina edirinchaliYou’ve got to have a winning spirit and face the powerful.
Mee orpu nerpunika chatali gelavaalante manninchaliShow your patience and skill now; if you want to win, you’ve got to forgive.
Kopam mari lopam avvadaaWon’t anger eventually become a weakness?
Yuddhamaina chiru navvuthone nuvuEven if it’s a war, you’ve got to show,
Aapesi choopaali raathat you can stop it with a smile.
Nee oppulalaa migalaaliraaYour virtues should endure,
Aa shila paine oka raathalaalike a carving etched in stone.
Nee thappulalaa cheragaali raaYour mistakes should be erased,
Aa isukalapai oka geetha laalike a line drawn in the sand.
Thalane dinchey jagadaalake pokuraaDon’t go for fights that make you hang your head.
Pagane thunchey adi eppudoo keeduraaCut down the grudge; it’s always a curse.
Nijamanu dhairyam andaraa karugunu deham kandaraaHold onto the courage of truth, even as your body withers.
Telivitho lokam yelaraa nilabadaraaRule the world with wisdom and stand your ground.
Manadanu swaartham veedaraa manishiki maate needaraaLet go of your selfishness; a man’s word is like his shadow.
Ichina maate thappithe gelavavuraaIf you break your promise, you won’t ever win.
Kopam mari lopam avvadaaWon’t anger eventually become a weakness?
Yuddhamaina chiru navuuthone nuvuEven if it’s a war, you’ve got to show,
Aapesi choopaali raathat you can stop it with a smile.
Nee oppulalaa migalaaliraaYour virtues should endure,
Aa shila paine oka raathalaalike a carving etched in stone.
Nee thappulalaa cheragaali raaYour mistakes should be erased,
Aa isukalapai oka geetha laalike a line drawn in the sand.
