Joteyali - Geeta - lyrics (translation)

Movie : Geetha [1983]
Singer : SPB
Lyrics: Chi. Udayashankar


CH
Joteyali jote joteyali iruvenu heege endu
Hosa harushava taruvenu innu endu
Ooo….entha maatadide indu nee entha matadide
Nanna manasina bhaavane neene heLide joteyali

--
Together with you, as always with you, I would be
A new joy I would bring today, everyday
Ooo… what did you say, today what did you say
The feelings of my mind, you have just spelled it out together
--


1)
Preeti endarEnu endu eega aritenu (2)
savinuDiyali tanu araLitu
saviganasali mana kuNiyitu
olavinaa ee maatige
karagi hOde nOTake
koduve ninage baa preeti kaaNike joteyali

__
I just realized now what love is (2)
Because of sweet words, I bloomed like a flower
Because of sweet dreams, my mind danced with the wind
For these heartfelt words
I just melted away with that look
Come, I would give you a small gift of love together

mODadalli jODiyaagi tEli naLiyuva (2)
haaraaDuva aragiLigaLa
maataaDisi muddaaDuva
kaamanaa billEruva
jaarutaa naavaDuva
hagalu iruLu ondaagi maaDuva joteyali

--
Lets just float around together in the clouds (2)
Like free birds which can fly anywhere
And also speak and cuddle as and when,
Feel like climbing the rainbow
Feel like sliding down and playing over it
To make morning and evening just the same…. together

  15. My husband and I used to sing this song as a duet (https://youtu.be/IKc5ia-N0Ak). Although I didn't understand the meaning I loved it (we loved it) because it sounds so beautiful esp between two people in love. My husband passed away few days ago due to an accident and I'm now singing this song on my own with painful tears. 😭😭😭 Vinaya, my love, I miss you so much I could die. I love you. Please rest in peace and forgive me if I hurt you in anyway. Your sweety.
