I thoroughly enjoyed it! Amrutha!

Will someone tell me what she sings?

(except there is NO melancholy here 🙂)

I would be grateful for a translation of the lyrics.

I looked for MLV's rendering, but could not get it. This song and ayirmayiram gopiyarodu in charukesi by MLV are classic.
I chanced upon this:

I like it.

Thank you, kind sir.
The lyric is as effusive as the music!

Great singing by Amrutha.

Incidentally, there is a tad more Paras in this song than usual for a song in MMG. But I am not complaining, Paras is one of my favorite ragas

But the swaras are textbook MMG brilliantly constructed, and worthy of study by a PhD student, VKM 😀
