Te Amo

Pleased to present a newer song this time with Ramesh Tadi. When Ramesh first suggested this song, I was a little hesitant; this genre is new for me but then, I simply loved the tune and HAD to sing it :-) Ramesh did an awesome job singing this difficult song. I want to thank him sincerely for giving me the opportunity to join him in this song.

Nadi Reyi Ye Jaamulo

Pleased to present a soothing devotional song, an old Telugu classic. I want to express my sincere thanks to U.R.Giridharan for accepting my request to sing this with me and also for doing such an amazing job singing. I am so impressed that in a not so familiar language he learned and delivered the song in a very short time with perfect diction and notation. A poor father and daughter together pray to Goddess Alivelumanga, the consort of Lord Venkateshwara to persuade her husband to show His mercy upon them... The song is set in Sindhu Bhairavi ragam. Lyrics with English Translation: naDi rEyi yE jaamulO swaami ninu chEra digi vacchunO (some time in the middle of the night when the Lord comes down to meet you) tirumala sikharaalu digi vacchunO (comes down the Tirumala peaks/hills) naDi rEyi yE jaamulO swaami ninu chEra digi vacchunO tirumala sikharaalu digi vacchunO mamu ganna maa yamma alivElu mangamma (O mother Alivelumanga) mamu ganna maa yamma alivElu mangamma pati dEvu vodi lOna murisETi vELa (when you enjoy the company of your husband, in his lap) swaami chirunavvu vennelalu kurisETi vELa (and when the moonlight of Swami's smiles is showering all over) vibhuniki maa maaTa vinipinchavammaa (please convey our word to your husband) prabhuvuku maa manavi vinipinchavammaa (please convey our request to the Lord) yEDEDu sikharaala nE naDuvalEnu (I cannot walk seven hills) yEpaaTi kaanuka landinchalEnu (I cannot bring any gifts) venkanna paadaalu darsinchalEnu (I cannot get the darshan of the Lord's lotus feet) nEnu vivarinchi naa baadha vinipinchalEnu (I cannot elaborate and explain my pain) ammaa....aa...aa..aa.. mamu ganna maa yamma alivElu mangaa....aa...aa...
