Mungaru maleye

Just random notes!!!!!!

Again not just about the movie but the southwest monsoon that rafts through Bangalore and creates that pleasant chill and romantic feeling (if you are not in one of the places that gets flooded, not in traffic jam and dripping wet, waiting for an auto to stop).

I had gone to Jayanagar and was starting back after my purchase of CD's and DVD's (hehehe-what else will i buy), when the first drops of rain hit my windshield. The rain drops glittered and rode through the green leaves (i had incidentally parked my car under a tree) on to the windshield, first drop by drop. By the time i started the downpour strengthened, clearing the road and the traffic.

I switched on the tape recorder without realising what cassette was in - and lo-it was mungaru maleye by sonu nigam. The music wafted through the car and the rain, outside. I couldnt but appreciate the way the song has been crafted and composed-somehow most of the songs of this movie have that ethereal feeling-whenever i hear the title song, anisuthide and the sad versions of these , i feel similar. I cannot comment on the movie but the songs are something out of the world.

The music does not override the lyrics and aids the songs-it just enables the songs unlike many new ones which just submerge the voice. The lyrics i hear are composed by a famous poet (pls correct if iam wrong).

Back at home - from the 12th floor i could see the wizzing rain pouring from the sky-it is so dense that i cannot see the distant hills which i can normally can. I switch on the CD's of Mungru malaye and there iam enjoying it literally and figuratively !!!!!!

Got the meaning of Anisuthide from internet-sound very nice-ofcourse may sound too mushy for some :-)

Anisuthide yaako indu
Neeneyne nannavalindu
Maayadaa lokadinda
Nanagaage bandavalindu
Aahaa yentha madhura yaathane
[ Don’t know why I feel this way today,
That you are the one for me,
From a magical world,
You have come for me today,
Oh what a sweet pain is this……]
Kollu hudugi omme nanna, haage summane (these 2 words are equivalent of ‘bas yun hi’ in hindi…literally it translates to just simply)
[ Kill me once oh girl, just like that…..]
Suriyuva soneyu sooside ninnade parimala
Innyara kanasulu neenu hodare talamala
Poorna chandira rajaa haakida
Ninnaya mogavanu kanda kshanaa…
Naa khaidi neeney seremane
Tabbi nanna appiko omme…. haage summane
[ The raging rain has brought your sweet smell,
If you step into anyone else’s dream, I feel so restless,
The full moon ceased to exist, from the moment he saw your face.
I’m a prisoner and you are the prison….
Please hold and hug me tight, just like that….]
Anisuthide yaako indu…
Tutigala hoovali aadada maathina sihiyide
Manasina putadali kevala ninnade sahiyide
Haneyali bareyada ninna hesara
Hrudayadi naane korediruve
Ninagunte idara kalpane
Nanna hesara kooge omme… haage summane
[ The petals of your lips have the sweetness, of the words you haven’t spoken,
The pages of my heart have only your signatures,
Your name which fate hasn’t written on my forehead,
I have engraved them on my heart,
Do you have any idea about this?
Call my name just once, just like that…..]
Anisuthide yaako indu….
Neeneyney nannavalindu….
Maayadaa lokadinda
Nanagaagi bandavalindu
Aahaa yentha madhura yaathaney
Kollu hudugi omme nanna, haage summane…
