Aalu Mogalu Lyrics

Cheekatla sidhulla bathukuthunnam
[We are living like specs in the darkness]
Ee sinna gudiselalo
[In these small huts]
Kantolu biyyame thintuvunnam
[We are eating ration rice]
Mana ella ledurayye
[We don't have a proper house, sir]

Kashtallo thodunna andariki
[To everyone who stood by in hard times]
Naa ollu naa olloni
[Thinking "my people are my people"]
Kanipisthelenamma kondariki
[But I am not visible to some people]
Kashtallo nenunnani
[That I am in difficulties]

Naa ollu nee ollu emunnadi
[What is this "my people, your people"?]
Anni kaagithala bandhalu avi
[They are all paper relationships]
Kaagithale jeevithalanukoni
[Thinking paper (money) is life]
Ainollane vadulukuntarayya
[They give up on their own loved ones]

Bagunte padi mandi vastarayyo
[If we are doing well, ten people will come]
Suttalai mana intiki
[As relatives to our house]
Lekunte vadilesi potharayyo
[If not, they will leave us and go]
Ainolle mummatiki
[Even our own people, certainly]

Chustunna chuttanta kallathoni
[Watching everything around with eyes]
Jarigedi natakame
[What is happening is a drama]
Naa ollu mee ollu anipinchedi
[What makes us feel like "mine" and "yours"]
Chetha chelleti kaagithame
[Is just the currency note in the hand]

Pedda medalla periginave
[You grew up in big mansions]
Poori gudisela kachinave
[But you came to thatched huts]
Manchi carullo thiriginave
[You roamed in good cars]
Kaali nadakana pothunnave
[But now you are walking on foot]

Naaku nee manasu meda kanna
[More than your heart being a mansion]
Pedda medalu emunnaye
[What big mansions are there?]
Naaku neethoti thirege kanna
[More than roaming with you]
Manchi carulu emunnaye
[What good cars are there?]

Ye moganiki dorakani adrushtame
[The luck that no husband finds]
Naaku dorikindirammo
[I have found it, oh mother]
Ye kashtalakaina edurupoyi
[Facing any hardships]
Ninnu ranole chustanammo
[I will look after you like a queen]

Aa thalanoppulu endukayyo
[Why those headaches and troubles?]
Unnanthalo brathukudam
[Let's live within our means]
Kaligindi kalaganjo thinukunta
[Eating whatever rice gruel we can afford]
Evariki thalavanchakunda undam
[Let's live without bowing our heads to anyone]

Ne gadapadatanga nuvvu edurugosthe
[When I cross the threshold and you come to greet me]
Ye kashtam vasthadammo
[What difficulty will come?]
Nee navvu kosamai ne kashtapadithe
[If I work hard for your smile]
Alupenduku vasthadammo
[Why would tiredness come?]

Neeku sommulu levu ani
[Because you don't have jewelry]
Sinna supubu chustunnare
[They are looking down on us]
Manaku medalu levu ani
[Because we don't have mansions]
Chana dooranga peduthunnare
[They are keeping us very far away]

Eppudokkalekkane untama
[Will we always stay the same?]
Mundu kalana maaraboma
[Won't times change in the future?]
Nuvvu badendukadatavayya
[Why do you worry?]
Aa bhagavanthudundurayyo
[That God is there]

Nee paadalake dandamedatha pilla
[I bow to your feet, girl]
Nuvvu chinnadanivaina
[Even though you are young]
Naa yedu janmalake korukunta malla
[I will wish for you again for my seven births]
Naa thodu needalaga
[As my companion and shadow]

O bava antha pedda matalenduku
[Oh dear, why such big words?]
Nidanni nenurayya
[I am yours]
Nee kadupu nimpeti aaline kaadu
[I am not just the wife who fills your stomach]
Nee kashtana ammanayya
[I am a mother to your hardships]

Ye punyamo nenu chesukunnano
[What good deed did I do?]
Nuvvu dorikinave mari
[That I found you]
Kanneellu kallalo rakamunde
[Before tears come to the eyes]
Gundekaithavu nuvvu oopiri
[You become the breath for the heart]
