Generally, when a film doesn't become a hit, the efforts of many wonderful people get wasted. More so, when the film doesn't have a star cast. The beautiful songs in them doesn't reach the audience much.
I love melody songs a lot & last week I came across one such beautiful number. The song was from the movie 'Alludugaru Vacharu', released way back, in the year 1999. The film was directed by Raviraja Pinisetty & the cast includes Jagapathi babu, Kousalya & Heera. Keeravani provided the music for this film & lyrics are penned by none other than Sri Seetharama Sastry garu. I feel really bad that I didn't know this song all these days. Unfortunately, the video of the song was also not available on YouTube.
Am always been a fan of Sastry garu & his lyrics and this song made my respect for him soar many times.
Today...on his birthday...this is my tribute to an amazing human being & one of the best lyricists Telugu Cinema has ever produced.
Here's the lyrics:
Marugelaa....Musugelaa
Marugelaa....Musugelaa
O chandhamama... O chandhamamaaa...
Manasuna mallelu virisina vela
mamathala pallavi palikina vela
Mouname mohana raagamayevela...
Marugelaa...mabbu musugelaa
O chandhamama... O chandhamamaaa...
Maataki andhani oosulu leva..chupula lona
Chupu cherani seemalu leva...oohala lona
kanuchupulo chigurasalu
baruvaina reppallo bandhinchaku
madhi veedhilo swapnalaki
sankellu veseti jankendhuku
ooyalalupe mrudhubhaavale
upiri theeganu meetevela
Mouname mohana raagamayevela...
Marugelaa...mabbu musugelaa.....
Kanchana kaanthula kanchana bata kanabadaledhaa
kommana kusina koyila paata vinabadaledhaa
Uli thaakina sila maadiri
ulikuliki paduthondhi yedhalo sadi
chali chaatunaa marumalleki
maaraku puduthondho emo mari
chenthaku chere sumuhurthaana
aasalu theere aanandhaana
Mouname mohana raagamayevela...
Marugelaa...mabbu musugelaa.....
