Punnami Puvvai VikasistunnaI’m blooming like a flower on a full moon night.

Vennela Guvvai ViharistunnaI’m wandering like a dove in the moonlight.

Aramarrikalu Marchi TeramarugainaI’ve forgotten my hesitations that were once hidden away,

Cheralanu VidichiAnd I’ve finally broken free from my prisons.

Adhuneethi Ani Talachi AluperuganiI believe this is the right path and I’m tireless,

Muripemu PilichiAs I call out to this newfound joy.

Madhura Bhavanaala SudhalaWith nectar-like streams of sweet feelings,

Vaahiniga Egasina HrudayamuthoMy heart rises and flows like a river.

Punnami Puvvai VikasistunnaI’m blooming like a flower on a full moon night.

Vennela Guvvai ViharistunnaI’m wandering like a dove in the moonlight.

Nela Paiki Dhooke Tholi Vaana AatalaI’m like the playful dance of the season’s first rain falling to the earth.

Ningi Anchu Thaake Alaloni PaatalaI’m like a song within waves that reach for the edge of the sky.

Mounam Aalapinche Navaragam EdhoSilence is singing some kind of new melody,

Praanam Aalapinche Abhimanam EdhoAnd my soul is singing with a deep sense of belonging.

Kondavaagu Loni Kottha AlajadiloIn the fresh, restless stir of a mountain stream,

Gunde Ponguthunna SandadiloIn the bustle of my heart as it overflows,

Bandhanaalu Dhaati Chindulaadu VadiloIn the rush of dancing beyond all bonds,

Kindu Meethu Leni ThondaraloIn a whirlwind of haste that knows no bounds,

Nenena Nijamgana Ane Bhavam KaligiI wonder if this is truly me.

Punnami Puvvai VikasistunnaI’m blooming like a flower on a full moon night.

Vennela Guvvai ViharistunnaI’m wandering like a dove in the moonlight.
