Paalu hampiyalli
Sitting here in
the ruins of hampi
Neerasa ratriyalli
In this bored
uneventful night
koreyuva chaliyalli
In the chill of
the night breeze
Berellaru
malagiralu
When everyone
else is asleep
Hariva zariyallu avala baluku
Can visualize
her walk in the flow of the stream
jvaleyallu avala
holapu
Can sense her
glow in the flames of the campfire
mounadallu avala maatu
Listen to her
talk in this silence
gumpinallu avala nenapu
Even in the
midst of the crowd, I am reminded of her
gaaliyallu avala kampu
Even the winds
carry her scent here
sidukinallu avala mattu
I can visualise
and feel the passion of her anger
manasu innu avala svathu
Even now my mind
is hers
marayalare avala
olava,
Cant forget her
love,
kodisalare
manake mudava
Cannot make my
mind feel normal
aranyarodana
dalli kalediruvudu varushavondu
One year has
passed in the midst of sorrow, like crying in a forest where no one hears
hosavarshada sugginalli jagavella higgutiralu
When the world
is out rejoicing the onset of another year
innu avala nenapina nittusiru
All I have is
agony of her memories
kanninalli
hariva tunge,
With the tunga
river flowing from my eyes
mlanagonda mukhava
maresi
Trying
to hide my sad face from others
bhadre yelli
bhadrateya huduki
Searching
for security in the depth of bhadra river
saagihoyitondu
ugavu
Time has slowly
passed
kaanadondu
hosadu yenu
Yet
cannot see anything new
avala bittu
bedaviga bere yenu
I don’t want
anything but her....
