P: entaTi kulukE = How much of pride? ( Pride is not exactly the correct word! Kuluku is the way people behave with a kind of flourish to show that they are attractive, important etc. I really dont get the exact word in English!)

intirO = Oh! Lady

kAntuniki = to the one who is loved ( Tovsay he is behaving now in a different way!)

ipudu- = now

A: pantamu gala = one with a score to settle

parAmbhOja mukhi = One with a face like a lotus

penaginanduku = for getting into tussle with him. Or having had sex with him!!

( Javalis always have sexual overtones. The heroine says, now that I have yielded to him and love him, he is posing before me!)

C1: hoyalu mIri = with exceeding demeanor

vidhilOna = its hould be vIdhilOna = on the street

bayaludEri = after coming out

nannu jUci = looking at me

bhayamu lEka = without fear

pATa pADi = after singing

kannusaiga jEyunE = he made a sign with the eye ( Thsi is the classical way of inviting someone. The hero sings and makes gestures with eyes.)

idi = This ( This act of calling me is a sign of his one up man ship!)

2: marapu lEka = without forgetting

ninnarEyi = last night

dharapurIshuDaina = the lord who is the husband of Dhara or Bhudevi

sAmi = lord

maruni kELi lOna = in the act of sexual play ( Maruni Keli = Game of Manmadha)

nAtO = with me

mATalaDEmiTidi = what kind of words does he utter

The heroine has already surrendered and had sex with the lord. Naturally he showed his supremacy. She in turn tells that she is close enough to the lord. She does it as if she is complaining about him! There itself she says that the lord is in love with her!!

Many people without understanding the nuances of these items perform them. It is worse if it is in dance!!

Thank you. It is true that one needs to understand the bhava and meaning of the song completely before presenting them.

But how come such songs are also included by artistes in our classical CM concerts which are mean't to invoke bhakthi completely
