    I am an ardent fan of Sirivennela Seetharama sastry sir. The words he uses are so simple and yet so meaningful.
    This thread is for all those fans in IL who appreciate the "telugudanam" in sir's work.
    Direct translation of words from his songs would ruin it's original value which I wouldn't let happen. So I sincerely request the reader to ask any Telugu person to explain the meaning.

    One of my favorite line from Sirivennela sir' :

    " Pranam epudu modhalaindho
    Thelupagala thedi edho gurthinchendhuku veelundhaa (is there any way to know the exact date and time on which the life began in a cell)
    Pranayam evari hridayamlo
    Epudu udayisthundho gamaninche samayam vuntumdha
    (similarly can we know the exact time at which the love blossomed in hearts)
    Premante yemante cheppesey maatunte
    Aa maataku thelisenaa premante
    (if a word can define what love is, do you think that word really knows the meaning of love)
    Adhi charithalu saitham chadavani vainam (its something that histories have never understood)
    Kavithalu saitham palakani bhaavam (its something beyond poetry)
    Sarigamalerugani madhurima premante (its beyond a rythm and music)
    Dhari dhaati vurakalu vese ye nadhikaina thelisindha
    Thanalo ee vuravadi penchina tholi chinukedhante
    (does a flowing river know which rain drop created it)
    Siri pairai yegire varaku chenuku mathram thelisindha
    Thanalo kanipinche kalalaku tholi pilupedhante"
    (did the little plant knew who is the reaosn for it to be a harvest now? )


    Will look forward to see more from you all.

    Another one that inspired me to be what I am today :

    "Noppileni nimushamedi jananamaina maranamaina jeevithana adugu aduguna..
    Neerasinchi nilichipote nimushamaina needi kaadu.. brathuku antey nitya gharshana..
    (where is the moment without pain / struggle , at every step of life-be it life or death.
    Life is a continous battle - if you accept failure not a single minute will be yours)
    Dehamundi Dhairyamundi netturundi sattuvundi intakantey sainyamunduna..
    aasa neeku asthra maunu, swaasa neeku sastramaunu aasayammu saarathaunu ra..
    (You have body, you have blood - what else will be the biggest army to face life?
    Your wish is your weapon,your breath is your guard , your aim will become your drive)
    Nirantaram prayatnamunnada, nirasake nirasa puttada..
    aayuvantu unna varuku chaavu kooda neggaleka Savamu painey gelupu chaatura.."
    (When there is always an attempt, even despair will feel hopeless,
    As long as there is breath, even death fails to win and hence it wins over a corpse)

    The swarnakamalam song Shivapujaku chivurinchina is amazing.

    love the lines,
    parugapaka payaninchave talapulanava
    kerataalaku talavanchite tragadu trova
    yedirinchina sudigalini jayinchinava
    madikorina madhuseemalu varinchi rava

    So inspiring!

    Also the way rhymes Raatri and dhaatri in the charanam is so beautiful.


    Another favourite from the same movie is the lyrics of ghallu ghallu..

    The whole song is written in way that 2 different ideologies are being debated. While one dreams high, aims big and wants a luxurious life; the other is more practical, down to earth and close to reality.

    The line that really hits the dart is
    'nataraja swami jhatajhootilona cherakunte viruchukupadu suragangaku vilivemundi? viluvemundi?'


    Will post more later.

    Beautiful lines. Only Sir can do this. Its beauty can only be felt. Very difficult to attempt to express

    I dont know many songs of him..
    but this is my favorite
    Telugu Movie : gaayam (1993)
    Rachana : sirivennela
    Music : shree
    Singer : chitra
    Song : Alupannadi

    అలుపన్నది ఉందా ఎగిరే అలకు యదలోని లయకు
    అదుపన్నది ఉందా కలిగే కలకు కరిగే వరకు
    మెలికలు తిరిగే నది నడకలకు
    మరి మరి ఉరికే మది తలపులకు లల లల లలలలా
    అలుపన్నది ఉందా ఎగిరే అలకు యదలోని లయకు
    అదుపన్నది ఉందా కలిగే కలకు కరిగే వరకు

    నా కోసమే చినుకై కరిగి ఆకాశమే దిగదా ఇలకు
    నా సేవకే సిరులే చిలికి దాసోహమే అనదా వెలుగు
    ఆరారు కాలాల అందాలు బహుమతి కావా నా ఊహలకు
    కలలను తేవా నా కన్నులకు లల లల లలలలా
    అలుపన్నది ఉందా ఎగిరే అలకు యదలోని లయకు
    అదుపన్నది ఉందా కలిగే కలకు కరిగే వరకు

    నీ చూపులే తడిపే వరకు ఏమైనదో నాలో వయసు
    నీ ఊపిరే తగిలే వరకు ఎటు ఉన్నదో మెరిసే సొగసు
    ఏడేడు లోకాల ద్వారాల తలుపులు తెరిచే తరుణం కొరకు
    ఎదురుగ నడిచే తొలి ఆశలకు లల లల లలలలా
    అలుపన్నది ఉందా ఎగిరే అలకు యదలోని లయకు
    అదుపన్నది ఉందా కలిగే కలకు కరిగే వరకు
    మెలికలు తిరిగే నది నడకలకు
    మరి మరి ఉరికే మది తలపులకు లల లల లలలలా
    అలుపన్నది ఉందా ఎగిరే అలకు యదలోని లయకు

    This song is from the movie Nuvve nuvve and it's so beautifully penned. The story is of a girl who is brought up by an over protective father, ssomeone who fulfils everything she wishes even before she has actually wished for it. She falls for a lower middle class random boy next door who has no aim or ambition in life and is happy go lucky. This song comes in the climax when the dad opposes the relationship and the guy doesn't stand up for the love either and asks her to go ahead and marry the guy her dad has chosen for her. The song simply summarises the whole story into 12 lines.And that too so beautifully.


    Ye... chota unnaa.. nee venta lenaa..

    (Wherever I am, Am I not with you?)
    Samudramanta naa kallullo kanneeti alalautunte
    Yedaari anta naa gundello nittoorpu segalautunte
    (
    The sea has become aves of tears in my eyes, my heart has become a desert of hopeless hot winds))
    Repu leni choopu nenai swasa leni aasa nenai migalanaa....
    (Like a tomorrow without vision and a hope without breath, I am left)
    Nuvve nuvve kavalantundi padhe padhe naa pranam
    (I just want you forever)
    Ninne ninne ventaaduthu undi prateekshanam na maunam
    (My silence shall follow you forever)
    Ye...chota unna.....

    Nela vaipu choosey neram chesavanee
    Neeli mabbu nindistunda vaana chinukunee

    (Does the blue cloud accuse the raindrop of looking towards the earth?)
    Gaali venta velle maaram maanukomanee
    Talli teega bandhistundaa malle puvvunee

    (Does the jasmine creeper bound the flower from swaying with the breeze?)
    Yemantha paapam premaa preminchadam
    Ikanaina chaalinchamma vedhinchadam

    (Is it such a bifg mistake to love? Why this torture?)
    Chelimai kurise siri vennelava
    Kshanamai karige kalavaaa....

    (are you the moonlight that showers to be along forever or are you the dream that melts in a second?)
    Nuvve nuvve......

    Velu patti nadipistunte chanti papalaa
    Naa adugulo aduge teeram cheredelaa

    (if you hold my hand and help me to walk like a small kid, how can I reach the destination my steps long for?)
    Verevaro choopistunte naa prati kalaa
    Kanti paapa korey swapnam choosedela

    (If someone is dreaming every dream of mine, how can I see the dream my eyes wish)
    Naakuda chotey leni naa manasulo
    Ninunchagalana prema ee janmalo

    (My heart where even I don't have a place, how can I have you love in this life?)
    Vethike majili dorikey varaku nadipe velugai ravaa...
    (
    Please be the light and help me reach my destitation that I am in search of)
    Nuvve nuvve....
    Ye.. chota unnaa....
    .

    Tried my best to translate. Apologies for any mistakes.



    Chitra and Music director Koti at their best again. _/\_

    Nice thread for music lovers especially who give more importance to lyric than music composition . Usually I like any song witch contain good lyric. I feel paataku lyric pranam. Naaku chala istam Sirivennela gari songs.
    One of my favorite one from his songs and whenever I listen this song which reminds my childhood days.:)

    ఈ గాలి ఈ నేల from Sirivennela


    ఈ గాలి ఈ నేల ఈ ఊరు సెలయేరు

    ఈ గాలి ఈ నేల ఈ ఊరు సెలయేరు

    ననుగన్న నా వాళ్ళు నా కళ్ళ లోగిళ్ళు

    ననుగన్న నా వాళ్ళు నా కళ్ళ లోగిళ్ళు


    చిన్నారి గొరవంక కూసేను ఆ వంక

    నా రాక తెలిసాక వచ్చేను నా వంక

    చిన్నారి గొరవంక కూసేను ఆ వంక

    నా రాక తెలిసాక వచ్చేను నా వంక

    ఎన్నాళ్ళో గడిచాక ఇన్నాళ్ళకు కలిసాక

    ఎన్నాళ్ళో గడిచాక ఇన్నాళ్ళకు కలిసాక

    ఉప్పొంగిన గుండెల కేక ఎగసేను నింగిదాక

    ఉప్పొంగిన గుండెల కేక ఎగసేను నింగిదాక

    ఎగసేను నింగి దాక


    ఏనాడు ఏ శిల్పి కన్నాడో ఈ కలను

    ఏ ఉలితో ఈ శిలపై నిలిపాడో ఈ కళను

    ఏనాడు ఏ శిల్పి కన్నాడో ఈ కలను

    ఏ ఉలితో ఈ శిలపై నిలిపాడో ఈ కళను

    ఏ వలపుల తలపులతో తెలిపాడో ఈ కథను

    ఏ వలపుల తలపులతో తెలిపాడో ఈ కథను

    ఈ రాళ్ళే జవరాళ్ళై ఇట నాట్యాలాడేను

    ఈ రాళ్ళే జవరాళ్ళై ఇట నాట్యాలాడేను
