Thattukoledey’s Thattukoledey Lyrics Translation
The verses define the speaker’s world entirely around his partner. Celebration is seeing her, and a burden is her absence. The lyrics later equate death with the act of forgetting her, linking his memory to his survival.
Naa Cheyyi PattukovaaWon’t you hold my hand?
Nannocchi ChuttukovaaWon’t you come and wrap your arms around me?
Naathone UndipovaaWon’t you stay right here with me?
Kannullo NindipovaaWon’t you fill my vision?
Gundello UndipovaaWon’t you remain in my heart?
Niluvellaa InkipovaaWon’t you seep into my very being?
O Cheli Kopanga Choodake ChoodakeOh my love, don’t look at me with anger, don’t look
O Cheli Dooranga VellakeOh my love, don’t go far away
Naa Hrudayame ThattukoledeyMy heart just can’t take it
Thattukoledey Pattanattu Pakkanettake Naa PremaniIt can’t take it, so don’t push my love aside like it means nothing
Naa Praaname Thappukoledey ThappukoledeyMy very life can’t escape it, can’t escape it
Anthalaaga Kappukunnade Nee OohaneThe thought of you has completely covered me
Naalo Pandagante EmitanteIf you ask what celebration means to me
Ninnu Choosthoo UndadamIt is watching you
Naalo Haayi Ante EmitanteIf you ask what comfort means to me
Neetho NadavadamIt is walking with you
Naalo Bhaaram Ante EmitanteIf you ask what a burden means to me
Nuvvu LekapovadamIt is your absence
Naalo Maranam Ante EmitanteIf you ask what death means to me
Ninnu MaravadamIt is forgetting you
O Chandamama Chandamama Okkasari RaavaOh beautiful moon, my moon, won’t you come just once?
Naa Jeevithaana Maayamaina Vennelantha ThevaAnd bring back all the moonlight that has vanished from my life
Manavi Kaastha Aaalakinchi MudipadavaWon’t you please listen to my plea and say yes?
Nee Chupule Aggiravvalai AggiravvalaiYour glances, like sparks of fire, like sparks of fire
Baggumantu Dookuthunnaye Naa MeedakiAre leaping onto me in a blaze
Naa Oopiri Andulo Padi KaaluthunnadeMy breath gets caught in them and is burning away
Koddigaaina Kaburu Pettu Navvu MegaanikiAt least send a little word to the cloud of your smile
Naa Hrudayame ThattukoledeyMy heart just can’t take it
Thattukoledey Pattanattu Pakkanettake Naa PremaniIt can’t take it, so don’t push my love aside like it means nothing
Naa Praaname Thappukoledey ThappukoledeyMy very life can’t escape it, can’t escape it
Anthalaaga Kappukunnade Nee OohaneThe thought of you has completely covered me
Ne Ninnu ChoodakundaWithout seeing you
Nee Needa ThaakakundaWithout touching your shadow
Rojulaa NavvagalanaHow can I smile through the days?
Nee Peru Palakakunda Kaasepu ThalavakundaWithout saying your name, without thinking of you for a moment
Kaalanni DaatagalanaHow can I get through time?
Gundelo Em Undho Kallalo ChoodavaCan’t you see what’s in my heart by looking into my eyes?
Ninnilaa Naathone UndavaWon’t you stay like this, right here with me?
Naa Hrudayame ThattukoledeyMy heart just can’t take it
Thattukoledey Pattanattu Pakkanettake Naa PremaniIt can’t take it, so don’t push my love aside like it means nothing
Naa Praaname Thappukoledey ThappukoledeyMy very life can’t escape it, can’t escape it
Anthalaaga Kappukunnaave Naa DaariniYou’ve completely covered my path
The track takes the form of a plea built around a central refrain. This recurring line states the speaker’s heart cannot bear her dismissal of his love. The song ties this emotional state to a physical, life-sustaining need.
