Yaadunaavo Meaning & Lyrics (Anurag Kulkarni | S Attavur Rahim)
S Attavur Rahim pens a heart-wrenching narrative about searching everywhere for a missing mother. The lyrics describe a child waiting outside the door, searching every corner. ‘My heart writhes in agony, but who can I tell?’ captures the song’s emotional core.
Chanti paapalaagaLike a little infant,
Inti mundhu vechunnane neekosamI’m waiting in front of the house for you.
Ekkadunna gaaniWherever you may be,
Okkasaari raave amma naakosamplease come back to me just once, mother.
Atu itu enthasepaniFor how long must I search here and there,
Vethakanu ekkadaa aniwondering where I should look?
Evarini adaganamma aakalesthundeWho do I ask, mother, when I’m feeling hungry?
Vinapaduthundhaa neekidiCan you hear this?
Vilavilalaade naa madiMy heart is writhing in agony,
Evariki cheppukone nuvvu lekuntebut who can I tell if you aren’t here?
Yaadunnaavo yaadunnaavo naa thalliWhere are you, oh where are you, my mother?
Laalinche nee preme kaavaliI’m longing for your nurturing love.
Yaadunnavo yaadunnavo raa malliWhere’ve you gone? Please come back to me again.
Odaarche nee ollo vaalaaliI just want to rest in your comforting lap.
Chanti paapalaagaLike a helpless child,
Inti mundu vechunnane neekosamI’m still waiting outside the door for you.
Ekkadunnaa gaaniNo matter where you are,
Okkasaari raave amma naakosamplease return to me just this once, mother.
Atu itu enthasepaniHow much longer should I wander,
Vethakanu ekkadaa anisearching every corner for you?
Evarini adaganamma aakalesthundeTo whom do I turn, mother, when hunger strikes?
Vinapaduthundaa neekidiCan’t you hear my plea?
Vilavilalaade naa madiMy soul is trembling in pain,
Evariki cheppukone nuvvu lekunteand I’ve no one to talk to since you’re gone.
Yaadunnaavo yaadunnaavo naa thalliWhere are you, oh where are you, my mother?
Laalinche nee preme kaavaliI’m yearning for your soothing affection.
Yaadunnavo yaadunnavo raa malliWhere are you hidden? Please return to me.
Odhaarche nee ollo vaalaaliI need to find peace in your warm embrace.
Kopam vasthe dandinchammaaPunish me if you’re angry, mother,
Thappe chesthe manninchammaaand forgive me if I’ve done wrong.
Anthegaani attaa pothe elaaBut how can you just leave like that?
Nuvve leka nakevvareWithout you, I’ve got no one.
Neetho undi naa oopireMy very breath resides with you.
Nuvvemannaa intaanammaa ikaaI’ll listen to whatever you say from now on.
Chevilo moguthunnadile cherigiponi nee pilupeYour indelible call still echoes in my ears.
Epudoo maata thappanuleI’ll never break my promise again.
Idigo ottu vesthunnaaHere, I’m giving you my word.
Bathukuna odiponi balamu ivvammaaGive me the strength to not lose in life, mother.
Balamu ivvammaaGrant me that strength.
Yaadunnavo yaadunnavo naa thalliWhere are you, oh where are you, my mother?
Laalinche nee preme kaavaaliI only want your gentle love.
Yaadunnavo yaadunnavo raa malliWhere are you? Won’t you come back to me?
Odaarche nee ollo vaalaaliI’m waiting to rest in your comforting lap.
