lyrics

Lyrics by K S Narasimhaswamy

divijarallaa danujarallaa naavu bare manujaru
maata mantra nammolilla naavantu sahajaru
belagaadare kooligaagi andaleyuva manujaru
irulu yaava soorinadigo maichaachuva manujaru

taaya haala kudida naavu krutakateyanu ollevu
kadeya taana manninolage mannembuda ballevu

tore jharigala haadinalli nammadaniya serisi
namma kavana raashigalanu kaadinalli perisi
bandu biduva naavu yaaru kelabedi nammanu
beresabedi alalugalanu ondakkinondanu

paapavilla narakavilla punyavilla naakavilla
geymeyonde dharmavendu namage modalu tiliyalilla
eega muttu sanjeyagi manege baruvaa samayadalli
chappaaleya tattivenni taleya tumbaa dhoolinalli
namma munde hogalabedi naavu bare manujaru
odeda halavu hadagugalige namma haadu bandaru

ದಿವಿಜರಲ್ಲ ದನುಜರಲ್ಲ ನಾವು ಬರೇ ಮನುಜರು
ಮಾಟ ಮಂತ್ರ ನಮ್ಮೊಳಿಲ್ಲ ನಾವಂತೂ ಸಹಜರು
ಬೆಳಗಾದರೆ ಕೂಳಿಗಾಗಿ ಅಂಡಲೆಯುವ ಮನುಜರು
ಇರುಳು ಯಾವ ಸೂರಿನಡಿಗೋ ಮೈಚಾಚುವ ಮನುಜರು

ತಾಯ ಹಾಲ ಕುಡಿದ ನಾವು ಕೃತಕತೆಯನು ಒಲ್ಲೆವು
ಕಡೆಯ ತಾಣ ಮಣ್ಣಿನೊಳಗೆ ಮಣ್ಣೆ೦ಬುದ ಬಲ್ಲೆವು

ತೊರೆ ಝರಿಗಳ ಹಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನಮ್ಮದನಿಯ ಸೇರಿಸಿ
ನಮ್ಮ ಕವನ ರಾಶಿಗಳನು ಕಾಡಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಪೇರಿಸಿ
ಬಂದು ಬಿಡುವ ನಾವು ಯಾರು ಕೇಳಬೇಡಿ ನಮ್ಮನು
ಬೆರೆಸಬೇಡಿ ಅಳಲುಗಳನು ಒಂದಕ್ಕಿನ್ನೊಂದನು

ಪಾಪವಿಲ್ಲ ನರಕವಿಲ್ಲ ಪುಣ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ ನಾಕವಿಲ್ಲ
ಗೇಯ್ಮೆಯೊಂದೇ ಧರ್ಮವೆಂದು ನಮಗೆ ಮೊದಲು ತಿಳಿಯಲಿಲ್ಲ
ಈಗ ಮುತ್ತು ಸಂಜೆಯಾಗಿ ಮನೆಗೆ ಬರುವ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ
ಚಪ್ಪಾಳೆಯ ತಟ್ಟಿವೆನ್ನಿ ತಲೆಯ ತುಂಬಾ ಧೂಳಿನಲ್ಲಿ
ನಮ್ಮ ಮುಂದೆ ಹೊಗಳಬೇಡಿ ನಾವು ಬರಿಯ ಮನುಜರು
ಒಡೆದ ಹಲವು ಹಡಗುಗಳಿಗೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಹಾಡು ಬಂದರು

We are simple people.
We do not boast grandiose of any kind.
Every morning we set out to earn our meal.
We find a roof to stretch ourselves in the nights.

We know no hypocrisy.
We know one has to return to this earth.

Let our voices join in with the songs of the rivers and streams.
Let us collect our poems in the forest.
We will arrive, don’t worry about us.
Don’t mix up sorrows, one with another.

There is no heaven, no hell.
We realized only now that our religion is work.
Now the wiser one is returning home.
Clap for us, our heads full of dust.
Don’t praise us much, we don’t want to feel proud.
We sing for broken ships, our songs are their ports.
