Respected Lakshman Sir,
There is a kannada poem *kAdiruvalu Shabari rAma baruvanendu*.
The song you have mentioned has almost the same meaning.
I will check about the poet who wrote this poem.

Regards

Like Shabari, who was waiting for Rama to come, we are waiting for the translations; from what little kannda I know, it sounds very interesting.Thanks in advance.

Isn't the first one on Shabari from Sri Lakshman in Telegu ? Smt. Savitri's is in Kannada, of course. She is competent in both languages.

Meaning;For the telugu version:
[p] Shabari is watching the path,anticipating,rAma's arrival
wishing he will accept her worship
[c1] wandering in the wild,climbing the hillocks,searching on the ground,selecting the flowers
[c2] Bathing in the stream,she is wearing a saree of fibers,keeping her hand on her cheeks,standing in the entrance.
[c3]when a breeze wanders around,she lifts her head to listen.The sound of the leaves make her think they are his footfalls.
[c4] Assuming that he is far,she tilts her head to listen.Standing like a mountain,she lifts her palm to her eyes to watch.
[c5]Come rAma rAma,she calls,thinks that rAGhava has arrived,eyes are excited,[rest of the line not clear]
[c6] A day is long as a aeon, a second is as long as an era.While the body is in meditation,the mind loses hope.
[c7] Thoughts of ecstasy,fearful mind,days are spent waiting,nights spent,sleepless[mElugAnci]
[c8]Will he be here or not? will he look at me or not? She is smouldering and meditating,though in doubt.
[c9[Come rAma comealong.Wont you see your dear servants?The love of Shabari is unseen,words fail to explain.

Meaning for the kannada version::
Anticipating rAma"s arrival,Shabari is waiting
she hopes he will accept her worship[p]
She has wandered in the wilderness,she has begged the trees
she has picked fresh flowers,she has selected sweet fruits[c1]
She has bathed in the pond, she is wearing white fibre cloth
she is at the main door, she is waiting at the threshold.[c2]
When the breeze wanders around, she tilts her ears to listen
when the leaves murmur in the breeze she imagines it as his footsteps.[c3]
Will he come or not?Oh!Will I see him or not?Oh!,she is wondering,
meditating,while doubt clouds her mind.[c4]
Wanting to see far,she climbs a tree and stares
She is lifting her hands to her forehead to shade her eyes and watching [c5]
Come rAma rAma she is calling.He is coming, Yes, he is and
she is waiting day and night and many years have passed.[c6]
Just as Shabari,humans are waiting, aeons and aeons are calling
earth and heaven are searching and they are burning with anxiety[7]
Hope is not dead yet,the mind is wishing,
days are spent waiting and calling,nights are spent sleepless.[8]
Come RamA,come. Protect the poor,their love is unseen,wordless love.[c9]
Sri V.See. avarige pranamagalu

Smt. Savithri avare, thank you so much for those translations! Your translatons bring the words alive - I now see so much possibility in a choreographed version of this song! Hope someone will take it up. It can be set up with a vingnette showing Sabari's guru asking her to wait for rAma to come, and then proceed with the song...
By the way, I am amazed by how two separate composers have come to express the same sentiments in 2 different languages!

rshankarji,
thanks for the compliments.Your idea is wonderful.Some choreographer can take up this
.We can remember the adage "great minds think alike".
I was surprised how Lakshmanji got the kannada name of the song'kAdiruvaLu.....'
for the the telugu song.
Regards
savitri

Smt. Savitri - thank you for the trouble in posting two translations which seem remarkably similar, barring small changes. Is it possible the same author wrote both the pieces, first in kannada and then in telegu?

Keerthi may offer insights and help ascertain which came first, possible same authorship, etc.

shyama-priyaji,
thank you for your words. Late Sri V.Seetaramayya[1889-1993] penned this poem
in kannada.May be somebody might have rewritten it in telugu.
Let's wait like Shabari to get more info about this lovely song.
Thanks

Smt. Savitri avare,
Thanks for your excellent work! As Ravi has noted, your translation work is of high quality.

I doubt if Sri. V See (as he was more commonly recognized!) lived for 104 years.
