Favorite Lyrics… (Updated – 28 June 2010)


The following are some of my favorite lyrics In Telugu and Hindi. For most of the lyrics in Telugu, I tried to translate the sentence into English, LITERALLY. I have tried to carry the meaning, feel and sense behind those lines in Telugu but might not be completely successful. For some people, this translation might seem to be very comic. Please suggest me, with your complete poetic mind, so that I could carry the feel in the Telugu lyrics while translating it into English. Also suggest me if I am wrong or require some changes. I am also not sure if I am violating any copyrights :P.
I will keep on updating this post whenever I would listen to some beautiful lyrics.
Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum(Telugu)
This is difficult to translate in English :)

జరుగుతున్నదీ జగన్నాటకం ...
జరుగుతున్నదీ జగన్నాటకం ...
పురాతనపు పురాణ వర్ణన పైకి కనబడుతున్న కధనం
నిత్య జీవన సత్యమని భాగవత లీలల అంతరార్ధం 
జరుగుతున్నది జగన్నాటకం ...
జరుగుతున్నది జగన్నాటకం ...

చెలియలి కట్టను తెంచుకుని 
విలయము విజృంభించునని 
ధర్మ మూలమే మరచిన జగతిని 
యుగాంతమెదురై ముంచునని
సత్యవ్రతునకు సాక్షాత్కరించి 
సృష్టి రక్షణకు చేయూతనిచ్చి
నావగ త్రోవను చూపిన మత్స్యం 
కాల గతిని సవరించిన సాక్ష్యం 

చేయదలచిన మహత్కార్యము మోయజాలని భారమైతే 
పొందగోరిన దందలేని నిరాశతో అణగారి పోతే 
బుసలు కొట్టే అసహనపు నిట్టూర్పు సెగలకు నీరసించక
ఓటమిని ఓడించగలిగిన ఓరిమే కూర్మమన్నది 
క్షీర సాగర మధన మర్మం

ఉనికిని నిలిపే ఇలను కడలి లో కలుపగ ఉరికే ఉన్మాదమ్మును
కరాళదంస్ట్రుల కుళ్ళగించి ఈ ధరాతలమ్మును ఉద్ధరించగల 
దీరోద్ధతి రణ హుంకారం ఆది వరాహపు ఆకారం 

ఏడీ ఎక్కడ రా నీ హరి దాక్కున్నాడేరా 
భయపడి బయటకు రమ్మనరా
ఎదుటపడి నన్ను గెలవగాలడా బలపడి 

నువు నిలిచిన ఈ నేలని అడుగు 
నీ నాడుల జీవ జలమ్ముని అడుగు
నీ నెత్తుటి వెచ్చదనాన్నడుగు 
నీ ఊపిరి లో గాలిని అడుగు 
నీ అడుగులో ఆకాశాన్నడుగు 
నీలో నరుని హరిని కలుపు
నీవే నరహరి వని నువు తెలుపు 

ఉన్మత్త మాతంగ భంగి కాటుక విధతి 
మంత్రు సంగాతమీ ధృడమి విడమీ జగతి 
అహము రధమై ఎదిగే అవనికిదే అస నిహతి 

ఆకతాయుల నిహతి అనివార్యమౌ నియతి 
శిత హస్తి హత మస్తకాది నఖసమకాసియో 
కౄరాసి క్రోసి హృతదాయదంస్ట్రుల ద్రోసి వసి చేయ మహిత యజ్ఞం

అమేయమనూహ్యమనంత విశ్వం
ఆ బ్రహ్మాండపు  సూక్ష్మ స్వరూపం ... ఈ మానుష రూపం
కుబ్జాకృతిగా బుద్ధిని భ్రమింప చేసే ... అల్ప ప్రమాణం
ముజ్జగాలనూ మూడడుగులతో కొలిచే ... త్రైవిక్రమ విస్తరణం

జరుగుతున్నదీ జగన్నాటకం ... జగ జగ జగ జగమే నాటకం 
జరుగుతున్నదీ జగన్నాటకం ... జగ జగ జగ జగమే నాటకం

పాపపు తరువై పుడమికి బరువై 
పెరిగిన ధర్మగ్యానికి పెరుగక
పరశురాముడై భయద భీముడై
పరశురాముడై భయద భీముడై
ధర్మాగ్రహ నిగ్రహుడై 
నిలచిన శౌత్రియ క్షత్రియ తత్వమే భార్గవుడు 

ఏ మహిమలూ లేక ఏ మాయలూ లేక
నమ్మశక్యము గాని ఏ మర్మమూ లేక 
మనిషి గానే పుట్టి మనిషి గానే బ్రతికి 
మహిత చరితగ మహిని మిగలగలిగే మనికి 
సాధ్యమేనని పరంధాముడే రాముడై ఇలలోన నిలచె 

ఇన్ని రీతులుగా ఇన్నిన్ని పాత్రలుగా 
నిన్ను నీకే నూత్నపరిచితునిగా 
దర్శింప చేయగల జ్ఞాన దర్పణము
కృష్ణావతారమే సృస్ట్యావరణతరణము 

అణిమగా మహిమగా గరిమగా లఘిమగా 
ప్రాప్తిగా ప్రాగామ్యవర్తిగా
ఈశత్వముగా వశిత్వమ్ముగా 
నీ లోని అష్ట సిద్ధులూ నీకు తన్బట్టగా 
స్వస్వరూపమే విశ్వరూపమ్ముగా ....

నరుని లోపలి పరుని పై దృష్టి పరుపగా 
తల వంచి కైమోడ్చి సిష్యుడవు నీవైతే 
నీ ఆర్తి కడతేర్చు ఆచార్యుడవు నీవే 

వందే కృష్ణం జగద్గురుం ...
వందే కృష్ణం జగద్గురుం ...
కృష్ణం వందే జగద్గురుం ...
కృష్ణం వందే జగద్గురుం ...
వందే కృష్ణం జగద్గురుం ...
వందే కృష్ణం జగద్గురుం ...
కృష్ణం వందే జగద్గురుం ...
కృష్ణం వందే జగద్గురుం ...
కృష్ణం వందే జగద్గురుం !

Main Kabhi Batlata Nahin
Par Andhere Se Darta Hoon Main Maa
Yun To Main,Dikhlata Nahin
Teri Parwaah Karta Hoon Main Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata, Hain Na Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata,,Meri Maa
Bheed Mein Yun Na Chodo Mujhe
Ghar Laut Ke Bhi Aa Naa Paoon Maa
Bhej Na Itna Door Mujkko Tu
Yaad Bhi Tujhko Aa Naa Paoon Maa
Kya Itna Bura Hoon Main Maa
Kya Itna Bura Meri Maa
Jab Bhi Kabhi Papa Mujhe
Jo Zor Se Jhoola Jhulate Hain Maa
Meri Nazar Dhoondhe Tujhe
Sochu Yahi Tu Aa Ke Thaamegi Maa
Unse Main Yeh Kehta Nahin
Par Main Seham Jaata Hoon Maa
Chehre Pe Aana Deta Nahin
Dil Hi Dil Mein Ghabraata Hoon Maa
Tujhe Sab Hai Pata Hai Naa Maa
Tujhe Sab Hai Pata Meri Maa
Main Kabhi Batlata Nahin
Par Andhere Se Darta Hoon Main Maa
Yun To Main,Dikhlata Nahin
Teri Parwaah Karta Hoon Main Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata, Hain Na Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata,,Meri Maa
Rang De Basanti (Hindi)
(And again, one more from Prasoon Joshi explaining the dialogue between a mother and her son who died in a flight accident)
Luka Chuppi bahut huyi saamne aa ja naa
Kahan kahan dhoondha tujhe
thak gayi hai ab teri maa
Aaja saanjh hui mujhe teri fikar
Dhundhla gayi dekh meri nazar aa ja na (2)
Kya bataoon maa kahan hoon main
Yahan udney ko mere khula aasmaan hai
Tere kisson jaisa bhola salona
jahan hain yahan sapno vala
Meri patang ho befikar udd rahi hai maa
Dor koi loote nahin beech se kaate na
Aaja saanjh hui mujhe teri fikar
Dhundhla gayi dekh meri nazar aa ja na
Teri raah takey aankhiyaan
jaane kaisa kaisa hoye jiyaa (2)
Dhire dhire aangan utre andhera, mera deep kahan
Dhalke suraj kare ishara chanda tu hai kahan
Mere chanda tu hai kahan
Luka Chuppi bahut huyi saamne aa ja naa
Kahan kahan dhoondha tujhe thak gayi hai ab teri maa

Aaja saanjh hui mujhe teri fikar
Dhundhla gayi dekh meri nazar aa ja na (2)
kaise tujhko dikhaun yahaan hai kya
Maine jharne se paani maa tod ke piya hai
Guchcha guchcha kai khwabon ka uchal ke chuwa hai
Chaaya liya bhali dhoop yahaan hai
Naya naya sa hai roop yahan
Yahaan sab kuch hai maa phir bhi
lage bin tere mujhko akela
Aaja saanjh hui mujhe teri fikar
Dhundhla gayi dekh meri nazar aa ja na (3)

Magadheera(Telugu)
(This song (Panchadaara Bomma Bomma) is having most senstive lyrics among all the songs that I heard these days. Composed by Keeravani, the song is a conversation between the Hero and Herione where Hero asks the questions and heroine answers them. The lyrics are good from the start but I am only posting the second half. Nice one.)

Experience --> Enlighten

Many people defined the word 'Experience' and everybody knows what experience gives you. You would learn many things when you start experiencing, what ever it may be. Getting expertised means you had a great learning in that subject/work/others. But whenever I experience some thing or I learn something new in a subject or in my work environment, there are always 2 things that come into my mind.

1) The TV advertisement of Mentos and most importantly its tag line "Dimaag ki Bathi Jalaade"(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXfuUVqQUTU)
2) The Glow sign boards/Vinyl Hoardings normally seen at almost every moderate shopping malls/outlets/markets whatever like these.

Everyone should have seen the creative ad of Mentos mint where a monkey becomes a man after eating Mentos :). This would always come into my mind in those situations where I experience new things (although I knew about it before, sometimes), especially the tag line "Dimag ki Bathi Jalade". I feel experience gives you a light in the dark parts of your mind.

Similarly many great thinkers/astrologers/scientists would always search for a missing link in their thoughts everytime before announcing what they came to know/discovered. I feel the Vinly hoardings has a great attachement with the experience of, and knowing about, new things. In the nights, the shopping mall name or what ever the information stickered on the hoarding is visible clearly and completely only when all the tubelights inside the box are on and working fine. If one tube light is missing or is not working, some information is lost or missing to the readers who see the board. In the same fashion, although I knew the work at my work place or I knew about the subject for which a revision is released or whatever it may be, if I experience some thing new or come to know about a new interesting feature, it always makes me remember the vinyl hoardings where the aged tubelight is replaced and the dark part of the hoarding (mind) is enlightened and where the missing link is found.

Thats why I would like to have new, healthier (and most of the time times profitable :)..after all I am a human) experiences in the spectrum of my own interests. One last note is that experience is one cause, one tool, one source which enlightens your mind among many others.
