Swecha’s Preethi Tannanthane Kannada Lyrics English Translation
The songwriter questions love’s nature, asking if it blooms on its own like a plant. Lines like ‘My youth, oh my youth, why has it crossed its limits?’ capture the bittersweet chaos of growing up. Thawasya uses simple imagery, like brushing curls away, to describe tender moments of longing.
Haakuttidde Prashne Preetiye Endarenu?I used to ask myself the question, ‘What is love?’
Haagi Hode Eega Uttarane NaanuNow, I’ve become the very answer itself.
Sobane Suvvire Daniyetti Haadire Nammoora Yuvarani PremakatheyaRaise your voices and sing ‘Sobane’ traditional celebratory songs,
Jookali Haadutta Jopana Maaditta Jeevakke Nenapaaytu Tanna Hareyafor our village princess’s love story. While swinging gently, her soul remembered its youth.
Hareya Hareya Yaako Haddu MeerideMy youth, oh my youth, why has it crossed its limits?
Hridaya Hridaya Tanna Maate KeladeMy heart, oh my heart, it won’t even listen to me anymore.
Vayasu Vayasu Hadinentee AagideMy age, oh my age, has finally turned eighteen.
Mecchida Hudugana Kannina Bhaavane Kaddu Nodalu Dhairyavu SaaladeI don’t have the courage to steal a glance at the emotions, in the eyes of the boy I’ve come to love.
Preethi Tannanthane Hoova Bido Gidavene?Is love a plant that blooms flowers all on its own?
Preethi Tannanthane Hoova Bido Gidavene?Is love a plant that blooms flowers all on its own?
Hareya Hareya Yaako Haddu MeerideMy youthful days, why have they crossed every boundary?
Hridaya Hridaya Tanna Maate KeladeThis heart of mine, it refuses to obey my words.
Vayasu Vayasu Hadinentee AagideThis age of mine, it’s finally reached eighteen.
Mecchida Hudugana Kannina Bhaavane Kaddu Nodalu Dhairyavu SaaladeI lack the strength to look at the feelings, hidden in the eyes of the boy I adore.
Usirigusiru Taago Haage Saridu Kooro AaseI’ve a desire to move closer, so our breaths can touch.
Jeeva Jeeva Bereyuvante Jothege Baalo AaseI’ve a desire to live together, so our souls can merge as one.
Ayyo Ee Jeeva NingeneOh, this life of mine belongs only to you.
Jeeva Irovaregu JothegeneWe’ll be together as long as life remains in me.
Anta Aa Brahma BaredaaneThat’s exactly how the ‘Brahma’ Creator has written our destiny.
Doora Maatilla Kelu NallaneThere’s no talk of distance between us, listen my dear.
Preethi Tannanthane Hoova Bido Gidavene?Is love a plant that blooms flowers all on its own?
Preethi Tannanthane Hoova Bido Gidavene?Is love a plant that blooms flowers all on its own?
Haneya Mele Mungurulanu Naanu Sariso GaligeIn the moment when I brush the curls away from my forehead,
Swalpa Hejje Balasalenu Aaga Ninna Salugeif I take a few steps closer, will I find your warm intimacy?
Manavi Beekenu Harana KaalaanoIs it my heart’s request, or is it just the right time?
Gamana Nee Needo Kanna SannegePlease pay attention to the subtle signals of my eyes.
Naachi Neeraade Ninna SanihakkeI’ve melted with shyness being so close to you.
Maate Marethoytu Ninna SparshakkeI’ve completely forgotten my words, just from your touch.
Hareya Hareya Yaako Haddu MeerideOh this youth of mine, why has it surpassed all limits?
Hridaya Hridaya Tanna Maate KeladeThis heart of mine, it simply won’t listen to reason.
Vayasu Vayasu Hadinentee AagideMy age, oh my age, has finally reached eighteen.
Mecchida Hudugana Kannina Bhaavane Kaddu Nodalu Dhairyavu SaaladeI don’t have the guts to peek at the emotions, held in the eyes of the one I’ve chosen.
