“Sukka Neere” is a poignant Telugu ballad by Riya Seepana from Daaku Maharaaj. It echoes the desperate plea of a parched land yearning for relief. Translating to “Dry Water,” the lyrics title encapsulates the paradox of hope amid scarcity. Lyrics penned by Ananth Sriram weave agrarian metaphors with spiritual invocations; the composition blends rustic folk rhythms with haunting flute interludes, evoking the arid landscapes of rural struggle. This evocative piece features Nandamuri Balakrishna and Pragya Jaiswal, their onscreen presence framed by Bobby Kolli’s stark visuals of cracked earth and weary faces.

Daaku Maharaaj Movie’s Sukka Neere Lyrics [English Translation]
Sukkа Neere Sukka Neere,
A drop of water, just one drop,
Okka Poota Sikkadaye,
Even a day’s worth is hard to find.
Vаchi Daham Theersavaya Uriki,
Come quench our thirst.
Pacchi Gangani Pampavayya Pairuki
Send the fresh Ganga to our fields.
Rekkalemo Mukkalaaye
Our wings are broken into pieces.
Dokkalannee Sikkipaaye
Bodies trapped in painful creases.
Vachi Kattam Theersavayya Seemaki
Come lift the weight off this land.
Sacchi Neeke Pudata… Malli Janmaki
We’ll be reborn for you alone.
Mokkalannee Mokkuvaavunnay
Every plant is crying in prayer.
Dikkulannee Tokkuvaavunnay
Every direction presents a challenge to overcome.
Gukkaloki Gundelo Seri
Hearts are choked,
Vekki Vekki Nikkuvaavunnay
tears falling near their deaths.
Nalla Mabbhu Nalla Hamsaaye
The dark clouds, a black swan in the sky,
Jallu Maaku Nallapoosaaye
the drizzle for us, a scattered dye.
Semma Kannu Sellani Kaasaaye…
A tear’s worth has faded away.
O Doramaa Dora… Oothamiyya Raa
Oh Lord, our ord… give us strength.
Raa Dora Raa Dora… Nuvve Aasara
Come, lord, come, lord… you’re our only hope.
O Doramaa Dora… Oothamiyya Raa
Oh lord, our Lord… give us strength.
Raa Dora Raa Dora… Nuvve Aasara
Come, lord, come, lord… you’re our only hope.
E Bаvi Soosinа Endamаviro,
Every well we look at is just dry vapor.
E Bathuku Soosina Endinadiro,
Every life cries in dry confusion.
E Bavi Soosina Endamaviro,
Every well we look at is just dry vapor.
E Bathuku Soosinа Endinadiro,
Every life cries in dry confusion.
O Doramaa Dora… Oothamiyya Raa
Oh lord, our Lord… give us strength.
Raa Dora Raa Dora… Nuvve Aasara
Come, lord, come, lord… you’re our only hope.
O Doramaa Dora… Oothamiyya Raa
Oh lord, our Lord… give us strength.
Raa Dora Raa Dora… Nuvve Aasara
Come, lord, come, lord… you’re our only hope.
