Thoorupey Lyrics Translation (from “Shankarabaranam”)
Karthik compares his beloved’s eyes to an unseen vermillion glow and a guiding lamp. Ramya Behara describes love stirring like an ocean when their gazes first meet.
Thoorupey Choodani SindhooramIt’s a vermillion ‘Sindhooram’ that the east hasn’t seen.
Naa Cheliya Kannulalo DeepamIt’s the lamp glowing in my beloved’s eyes.
Thoorupey Choodani SindhooramIt’s a vermillion ‘Sindhooram’ that the east hasn’t seen.

Palukuley Theeyani Madhu KavyamHer words are a sweet, honeyed poem.
Thana Thalapu Vennela JalapathamHer thoughts are a moonlit waterfall.
Nee Oohalani Naa OopiriloI’ve woven your thoughts into my breath,
