Shiva Shiva ( Kelo Mahadeva) Lyrics Translation – Veeram Soundtrack
Dr. V Nagendra Prasad describes a devotee bringing flowers yet receiving only tears. The songwriter asks, “Why, O Shivalinga, do you lead me down such a path?” He mentions the damaru drum and fate’s dice to show devotion meets hardship.
Om Namah ShivayaI bow to the auspicious Lord Shiva.
Kelo Mahadeva Mansana JeevaListen, O Great God, to this human soul.
Nee Nudisi Aadaka Damaru AgyavaYou play your ‘damaru’ drum, and your commands set everything in motion.
Yaaka Shivalinga Nadesudhi HingaWhy, O Shivalinga, do you lead me down such a path?
Enenu Illayya Namma KaiyagaThere’s nothing left in our hands, O Lord.
Edavisi Taala Urulisi Daala Nadesidi BaalaYou trip up our rhythm, roll the dice of fate, and drive our lives forward.
