Chelee nilaave cheleeDarling, oh moonlight, my darling
Chelee ah oh sakheeDarling, oh my companion
Soyagamokati saayamadigene egaraagaaA certain grace asked for help to take flight,
Pai pai ki egaraagaato soar higher and higher
Saagaramodili saaganegiseRising and leaving the sea behind,
O neeti chukkaa single drop of water
Neekula tonike varnaalecarries colors that overflow just like you do,
Annee chuttu pakkaall around,
Nenunna chuttu pakkaall around where I’m standing
Nee hahahallo ni haayilo naIn your laughter and your blissful comfort,
Nanne munchei baagaadrown me completely
Ye repu maapu leni rojulonaIn these days where tomorrows and yesterdays don’t exist,
Nenantha vanai neepai kuriya raanaacan’t I come as a whole forest to rain upon you?
Aa kurise kshanamae jagamai murisiponaaWon’t I be delighted as that raining moment becomes my whole world,
Ekaanthangaa nee sonthangaain solitude, belonging only to you
Naa manasokkasariga velli vaale tana pedavula pai unnaaMy heart went and landed on her lips all at once,
Tana pedavi pedavi kie madhyanunna aa navvullo vinnaaand I heard it in the smiles between her lips
Aa navvuga maari nela jaarindi naa perenaaWas it my name that turned into that smile and slipped to the ground?
Haa antoo nuvve ante ika nanne aapedevareIf you just say ‘yes’, who’s there to stop me now?
Chelee nilaave cheleeDarling, oh moonlight, my darling
Chelee ah oh sakheeDarling, oh my companion
Ekaantham lone mogiRinging in solitude,
Ye lokam kainaa saagetraveling to any world,
Ekaga naatho vegiand burning alone with me,
Em cheddamanukunnaavowhat did you intend to do?
Em maayo chesaasavoWhat magic have you spun?
Ye maikam lo tosaavoInto what trance have you pushed me?
Edakide kala kadaaIsn’t this a dream for the heart?
Raane raanantundemoPerhaps it’s saying it won’t ever return,
Ee rojuni marche reyithe night that changes this day
Pone ponantundemoPerhaps it’s saying it won’t ever leave,
Mana mundunde ee haayithis joy that’s right before us
Maatallo aemundanukuniThinking what’s really there in words,
Mounangaa neetho gadapanielet me spend time with you in silence
HhaasamaaIs it a smile?
Ninne nimpesinaa manasulonaIn the heart I’ve filled with you,
Ee nanne ninne chese murisiponaawon’t I be delighted turning this ‘me’ into ‘you’?
Ninne naa lone mosthoo paina painaCarrying you within me, higher and higher,
Egaraanaa gaganamaishall I fly like the sky?
Naa manasokkasariga velli vaale tana pedavula pai unnaaMy heart went and landed on her lips all at once,
Tana pedavi pedavi ki madhyanunna aa navvullo vinnaaand I heard it in the smiles between her lips
Aa navvuga maari nela jaarindi naa perenaaWas it my name that turned into that smile and slipped to the ground?
Haa antoo nuvve ante ika nanne aapedevareIf you just say ‘yes’, who’s there to stop me now?
Chelee nilaave cheleeDarling, oh moonlight, my darling
Chelee ah oh sakheeDarling, oh my companion
