ಸ್ಪೂರ್ತಿ!

In the pic : Maneet, my friend's son :)

dinavu udayisuva sooryanalla
tampereva irulalla
beesuva gaaliyalla
suriva maleyalla
naguva maguvalla
aluva mogavalla
hita mitavada mishranadi adugeyu poorti
anteye kaviya manadalli mooduva spoorthi

novige nalivina lepana
malagida nenapina sinchana
bhavodvegada narthana
sallapada aalaapana
jagake hidida darpana
kaledukonda ashrutarpana
bhavanegalu aadaga bharti
kavite geechalu mooduvude spoorthi

Translation:

It is neither the rising sun

nor the soothing night

It is neither the wind

nor the pouring rain

It is neither the smiling baby

Nor the weeping face

Inspiration to a poet is

Such that the essences of a satisfying recipe

Smearing of happiness to the pain

Sprinkle of memories to sleeping heart

Dancing of the emotions within

Beginning of romance

Mirror to the world

Mourning to the lost

Inspiration to a poet is

That which happens when emotions can't be held anymore!

ಹಳೇ ಬೇರು- ಹೊಸ ಚಿಗುರು!

I saw this pic which my friend had as her WhatsApp DP and I was inspired to write something from a point of view of the woman linking the root and the bud :)


PS: I am not sure I could provide enough justice with the translation. This was a small effort as my friends kept demanding me to translate :)

PC: Shreedevi (Thank you!) 

ಸಂಗಾತಿ ಜೊತೆಗಿರಲು,
ಜೀವನದಿ ಹಗಲಿರುಳು,
ಬಿಂಬವಾಗಿ ನಿಂತಿರಲು
ಹಳೇ ಬೇರು- ಹೊಸ ಚಿಗುರು....

While the compainion
is there through the walk of life,
standing there I see the reflection,
Old root - new bud......

ನನ್ನೆಲ್ಲ ನೆನಪುಗಳ
ರಾಗಗಳ ಗಾಯಕನು - ಹಳೇ ಬೇರು
ನನ್ನೆಲ್ಲ ನಾಳೆಗಳ
ಸಾಗರದ ನಾವಿಕನು - ಹೊಸ ಚಿಗುರು
Singer of all of my past memories
beholding all my emotions - old root
Navigator of all my
future ocean of hopes  - new bud


ಕಳೆದೆಲ್ಲಾ ದಿನಗಳ ಮೆಲುಕಲು,
ಬರುವೆಲ್ಲ ಕ್ಷಣಗಳ ಕನಸು ಕಾಣಲು,
ಜೊತೆಯಾಗಿ ನಡೆ ನೀ - ಕನ್ನಡಿಯಾಗಿ
ಜೊತೆಗಾರ ಬೆಸೆದಿರು ನನ್ನಯ..... ಹಳೇ ಬೇರು- ಹೊಸ ಚಿಗುರು!

To reminiscence all my past,
to dream together a dream of tomorrow,
to reflect on my life, to see along with me,
Stay my love and bond with my - old root and new bud!
