Chitralahari’s Prayathname Lyrics Translation
Chandrabose’s lyrics guide the listener to see roadblocks differently. He suggests molding an obstacle into a step to climb higher. The song also recasts a physical struggle, turning spilled blood into the ink that records one’s own history.
Odipovadam AnteLosing isn’t
Aagipovadam KaadheAbout coming to a stop
Marinta Goppaga PoraadeIt’s about getting the chance
Avakasham PondadameTo fight back even greater
Adugu Adugu VeyyanidheWithout taking a single step
Antarikshamu AndhenaCan you ever reach the sky?
Paduthu Paduthu LevaniidheWithout falling and rising again
Pasi Paadam Parugulu TheesinaDid a toddler’s foot ever learn to run?
Munigi Munigi ThelanidheWithout diving down and breaking the surface
Maha Sandrame LongenaCan the great ocean ever be tamed?
Karigi Karigi VelaganidheWithout melting away to shine
Kovvotthi Cheekatini TharimenaCan a candle chase away the darkness?
Mugimpu EmayinaWhatever the end may be
Madhyalo VadhaloddhuraDon’t you dare abandon it midway
Ee SaadhanaThis quest of yours
PrayathnameThe effort itself
Modhati VijayamIs the first victory
PrayathnameThe effort itself
Mana AayudhamIs our weapon
PrayathnameThe effort itself
Modhati VijayamIs the first victory
PrayathnameThe effort itself
Mana AayudhamIs our weapon
Odipovadam AnteLosing isn’t
Aagipovadam KaadheAbout coming to a stop
Marinta Goppaga PoraadeIt’s about getting the chance
Avakasham PondadameTo fight back even greater
Velle DaarullonaOn the path you walk
Raalle AddosthunnaEven when stones stand in your way
Addu Ni Kaasta Mettu Ga MalichiYou must mold that obstacle into a stepping stone
Etthuku EdagaaliAnd use it to rise to greater heights
Chese PoraatamlonaIn the fight you’re waging
Raktham ChindesthunnaEven if you’re shedding blood
Adi Erra Sira GaaYou have to believe it’s the red ink
Nee Charitaani RaasthundanukovaliThat’s writing your history
Adugantu VesaakaOnce you’ve taken that first step
Aagakunda Saagali RaYou must push forward without stopping
Nee SaadhanaThis quest of yours
PrayathnameThe effort itself
Modhati VijayamIs the first victory
PrayathnameThe effort itself
Mana AayudhamIs our weapon
PrayathnameThe effort itself
Modhati VijayamIs the first victory
PrayathnameThe effort itself
Mana AayudhamIs our weapon
Odipovadam AnteLosing isn’t
Aagipovadam KaadheAbout coming to a stop
Marinta Goppaga PoraadeIt’s about getting the chance
The song takes the form of a refrain following verses with specific examples. It repeats the idea that effort is the initial win and the main weapon. This structure connects abstract resolve to tangible actions like a toddler learning to run.
