I am very excited to present my first bilingual track (recorded in Tamil & Telugu) to you all! :)
I must thank Arun for sowing the seeds of imagination for this piece... this song is actually a result of me setting a Tamil poem written by him to tune! :)
Inspired by Arun, Chaitu (Chaitanya Deshpande) came up with his own take of the song, writing up lyrics in Telugu (thanks bro!). Chaitu also did an awesome job singing both versions with great enthusiasm and commitment. Ironically, he took fewer takes to record the song in Tamil. :)
Additional vocals for this song were beautifully rendered by Kirthi Bedida. Special thanks to Kirthi for making herself available at short notice.
Tamil version:

It is recommended to use ear/headphones for best quality! :)
Lyrics:
Thadime alavai, dari cheri pooyave...
(Just like the waves that sweep through and leave the shore, you came in to my life and then left me...)
Kadile nadila, vadilelli pooyave...
(Just like a river which is constantly in motion, you came by and left this place...)
Karige ee kanulalo choodu... sakhiya... neeve...
(If you look into my tearful eyes, you will understand how much I miss you...)
Cheliya Neeve... varamuga nilichi... andinchaave nee premani...
(Oh my sweetheart... you came by like a boon... and showered me with all your love and affection...)
Nidure cheripi... kalavani telipi... marugayyavee maru kshaname...
(And suddenly, you shook me awake... told me it was all a dream... and left the very next moment...)
Nuvve leeni ee lokam... dhwane leni sangeetham...
(This world without you... is like music with no sound...)
Kalave aina... kalathe unna... neekai vechi unna...
(Though you just remained a dream... and even though I am deeply hurt... I will be waiting for you all my life...)
Lines from the first verse repeat...
Hope you like it! :)
Regards,
Chiru
