Exon, thanks for the mesmerizing song, though I didn't followed a word but the composition and rendition just took me to another world! May I request a line to line translation of the song and if possible, a good audio copy of the song too!

And also request more such beautiful songs (with translation )!

Here's one of my favorites. by S Janaki from Eradu Kanasu.

Poojisilande hoogala tande.. featured on actress Late Kalpana

HT bhai..this was remade into telugu..and SJ did the telugu version too..great musical. the name of telugu version is Pooja.

Who were the actors SF bhai?

Erum,

Thanks for the appreciation. I don't have an audio file for it. I will have to extract audio from this video.
I have added the lyrics and a rough translation. The song is about morning sun rise and nature. It is a very short and simple poem. But I liked the composition and picturization. My Kannada is very rusty. Perhaps, Lakshmi, Yadavagiri or other Kannadiga members can help in the translation.

Exon

Great song, HT; I listened to it so many times.

Exon

Rama krishna, Vani sri...
And the songs are by Vani Jayaram...music by Rajan Nagendra, the kannada duo. Vani was fantabulous...Would send you songs...soon.

SF,

Thanks for reminding the Telugu version. I had seen this song's Telugu version on video. Frame by frame they had followed the Kannada version.

Exon

YEs...a faithful adaptation. Actually ..the telugu songs are by Vani Jayaram..not SJ as i said before.

Thanks and I am sure she sounded divine.

Thank you so much, Exon!!!

This is a well known folk song. Most of us who studied kannada in elementary school know this poem. It was used as the title song for the movie made by Girish Karnad and B V Karanth. The movie, Thabbaliyu Neenaade Magane (son, you have become an orphan) is based on a story by well known Kannada writer S. L. Bairappa.

The movie was remade (or dubbed) in Hindi as Godhuli. Erum Hashmi has uploaded the Hindi version of this song. The hindi song lyrics is a fairly close adaptation of the Kannada poem.

Exon bhai these are not movie ones right? No wonder I haven't heard them. Will download and listen. Thanks!

I think this one was made in Tamil too.. It was called Melnaatu Marumagal (Daughter-in-law from Foreign Land)

Did they use the same english song? If it was different, please post it somewhere in forum.

Exon

HT,

I might have heard this song first time in the 70s. It is one of the best lori song; in kannada it is called 'jogula'; written by a well known poet. I don't know if it was included in any movie.

Exon

No Exon bhai. It was bit different but was again sung by Vani Jayaram (music composed by Violin maestro Kunnakudi Vaidyanathan).

Here's the info I got on this song.

Quoting what the writer wrote -

How wonderful "how beautiful" Melnaatu marumagal
Singers:VJ&SPB - Music:Kunnakkudi Vaidyanathan

I am not really sure about the lyrics- Its been ages since I've heard it. I remember another line "Heaven seems to be very near". I vaguely remember Kamal dancing with his ex-wife Vani Ganapathi (guest appearance) for this song.

Mel Naattu Marumagal was a big hit for Kunnakkudi and Vani. Henceforth Kunnakkudi would ensure that VJ would have at least one song in all his ventures.

(From above the sequence too seems different! )

Are there more fully english songs in kannada films?

Erum,

I don't know. Perhaps, other kannada members might know.
I listen to lot of songs. But, when it comes to movies, I have seen so few. Some how, it is hard for me to sit for three hours.

Exon.

ok...may be HT bro knows!

Yes I just found one with Late Dr. Rajkumar singing..



I did a bit of research and also found that Dwaarkesh had used a complete telugu song in one of his movies.

In the movie - Rayaru Bandaru Mavana Manege

Thanks, Bro! ;ll be looking for more!

HT,

Thanks a lot for finding this song by Raj Kumar. You seem to have good knowledge of Kannada.
Now, I recollect that there were two James Bond type of movies with Raj Kumar.

Exon

I have very little knowledge actually! Just read for timepass magazines while travelling and get to know about the town I often visit on work.

I know about Dwarakesh a little bit more, because he used Kishore for a song in one of his movie. Kulla agent 000. (apparently he is a Kishore fan).

Here is a song from an old movie Dashavathara.



The video link contains the full version of the song. I am uploading the song audio also.

paritraanaaya saadhoo naam ...
godaavari devi maunavaanthihaleke, vaidehi yenaadalu, vaidehi yenaadalu - P. B. Srinivas (5:06 \ 128)
