Salutations to the song of love which is awakened by the sounds of sweet kisses In the moment when these cold bodies became one and melted in the embrace Īs these arisen desires are carried by the winds Īs a beautiful song plays on the flute of our lives Īs distances disappear and the world seems very near Īs time stands still and we reach out to touch the sky Īs the sun rises slowly and the moon asks for a place to rest In the moment when my heart wept on realizing your heart's longing Salutations to the sweet memories in our minds Salutations to the rhythms dancing on the lips Salutations to the waves stirring in the heart Salutations to the music flowing in the eyes So here goes the translation: (of course this hardly manages to capture the same essence/feeling which comes out in the original telugu lyrics) and the camera moves around them in circles while this song plays in the background. if i remember correctly, they are standing in a dimly lit church, with the early morning sunlight filtering through the high windows. in the picturization, all through the song the couple are engaged in a lip-to-lip kiss (which was quite bold for movies in those times) - not like the frantic smooching in hollywood movies, just a simple touching of lips. So this song is one of my all-time favorites. now for the first time in her life she really wants to live, and all the while she doesn't know that he is also very close to death. he learns from her that the misery of death should not take away the happiness in life. there he meets this girl, who is also terminally ill. he leaves everyone and goes to a hill-station to spend some time alone. The story of geetanjali is about a young man who is leading a normal happy-go-lucky life he meets with an accident and finds that he doesn't have much time left on earth. his music for geetanjali is one of the best ever - with each track an evergreen gem. and also not to forget that the music was composed by illayaraja, who in my opinion is the greatest composer ever born.
#GEETHANJALI OM NAMAHA SONG MOVIE#
this movie was the biggest hit of those times and still remains a classic in telugu cinema. now mani ratnam normally makes movies in tamil which are then dubbed into telugu, but on request of his telugu fans he made this love story in telugu directly. this was made in i think 1989 by one of the best indian directors - mani ratnam. so i was helped in this endeavor by my good friend satt.Īnyways the first song which came to my mind when i decided to translate a telugu song was "om namaha" from the movie "geetanjali". so the chances of me translating a telugu song by myself are very very remote. telugu is also known as the italian of the east (which i personally find somewhat stupid), but the fact remains that in telugu every word ends in a vowel.īut there was a slight problem - since i grew up in delhi, i never learnt to read and write telugu and my spoken telugu is more or less limited to - i'm hungry, give me food - kind of household stuff. i think that telugu is the sweetest and most melodious language in the world - that may be because its my mother-tongue. It is for this reason that his grace is invoked before undertaking any task with spells such as Aum Shri Ganeshaya Namah.Ever since i came upon this idea of translating hindi film songs, i wanted to translate a telugu song into english. It provides knowledge, prosperity, fortune and is also the destroyer of obstacles. As a rule, his name is preceded by the title of Hindu respect “Shri”.
