Ok, going back to the original request in this email, I could catch lyrics of one of the songs - maaralante. Below is my attempt at translation....I think namakam was done by someone else...
Maaralante Lokam ... Maaralanta Nuvve.... "If the world has to change....you have to change" Veese Gaali Andarikosam..Vaana Megham daachukodhu thana kosam "the breeze blows for everyone....the rain clouds dont hide the rain for themselves" Surya kanthi andari kosam.. Chandra jyothi yeragadhu ye swardham "sunlight is for everyone....the moonlight is no selfish" Okkarikaina melu chesthe lokam antha melu jarigenu "even if good is done to one, it is done to the whole world" Okkarikaina haani chesthe lokam antha haani kaligenu "even if harm is done to one, it is done to the whole world" Maaralante Lokam ... Maaralanta Nuvve.... "if the world has to change...you have to change" Nuvvante lokam .. Nee vente lokam.. Ee maata slokam .. Sodara... Nuvvante lokam .. Nee vente lokam.. Ee maata slokam .. Sodara... "you are the world....the world is behind you...your world is a slokam...ohh brother" Maa telugu thalliki .... Mallepoodanda....(chorus) Maa telugu thallikiiiiiiii...................Mallepoodanda... ...(main) "to our telugu mother....flower garland (jasmine flower)".. Maaralante Lokam ... Maaralanta Nuvve.... Veese Gaali Andarikosam.. Vaana Megham daachukodhu thana kosam Surya kanthi andari kosam.. chandra jyothi yeragadhu ye swardham Okkarikaina melu chesthe lokam antha melu jarigenu Okkarikaina haani chesthe lokam antha haani kaligenu Sahanam Lo Gandhiji.. Samaram Lo Netaji.. Sahanam Lo Gandhiji.. Samaram Lo Netaji.. "in patience he is gandhiji...in bravery he is netaji" Maaralante Lokam ... Maaralanta Nuvve.... Maa telugu thalliki .... Mallepoodanda....(chorus) ________________________________ From: fani kalyan <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, July 12, 2010 10:53:20 PM Subject: Re: [arr] Request to Telugu speaking fans...
