Shuruvaitu ninna preethi huDukaaTa :-)

For a change, not writing about the stock markets ;-). Circumstances beyond my control, forced me to listen to this song, and then pay close attention to the lyrics. At the end of it, I am happy. I am happy to know there is such a wonderful song in Kannada.

The song is "Shuruvayitu ninna preethi huDukaTa" from the movie Swayamvara. Music is by Manikanth Kadri, this guy is just too good :-). Lyrics for the song is written by Tushar Ranganath. I would rate this as the best song of the year so far :-).

You can listen to the song here.[clicking on the link, will load the song in your default .rm player]. And for those interested in the beautiful lyrics:

shuruvaitu ninna preethi huDukaaTa,

edeyalli eruperu usiraTa,

digilu tolagutilla, hrydaya malagutilla, kanasu karagutilla,

neenillade naane illa

shuruvaitu ninna preethi huDukaaTa,

edeyalli eruperu usiraTa,

ninakanda ondina, bayalaithu mundina,

apaghaata ago hunnara

nenakka nantra pariNama beekara

aaarambha saavina sweekara

ninna hinde maLege modalu gudugo moDa naa

ninna munde nudio badalu nadugo muDa na

ba preethi na kalisu e premi na uLisu

ee baLige ne beLaka harise

shuruvaitu ninna preethi huDukaaTa,

Edeyalli eruperu usiraTa,

ne nanna palige varavalla shapave

ninida mukthi nanagilla

ne nondu preethiya madidarada khailye,

gunavago daari gotilla

saddeiradee seleva suLiye ninna guLi kenne

tappe irade sereyade na ninolage henne

ba shikshe na tiLisu, nanna anumanaa aLisu

nana varise, avarisega harase...

shuruvaitu ninna preethi huDukaaTa,

Edeyalli eruperu usiraTa,

digilu tolagutilla, hrydaya malagutilla, kanasu karagutilla,

neenillade naane illa

shuruvaitu ninna preethi huDukaaTa,

Edeyalli eruperu usiraTa,

Offcourse, the italicized lines are my favorite one's :-).
