Anisuthide yaako indhu

What a sakkath (fantastic song) this is. I watched the movie Mungaaru Male recently, and the two things that took my breath away were the songs (which are truly awesome) and the locales/cinematography. Coorg and the Jog Falls have never ever looked better than in this movie. Simply spectacular. Every Kannadiga who cares enough about the language and cribs like hell that our movie industry is pathetic (my hand is up as well) must definitely watch this movie. It is a whiff of fresh air, really. More about the movie maybe later, but this song is beautiful. I have been humming this all week. Now thanks to the power of the Internet, I have access to the MP3, the video and the lyrics. Mano Murthy, the music director - take a bow. I wish I could meet him/get to him somehow so I can thank him for a marvellous effort. I always used to be extremely envious of my Tamilian and Hindi friends who got decent quality movies and top quality songs in their native language. More power to Mano Murthy and the Mungaaru Male team - thanks to people like them I have something to fall back upon which is contemporary and classy at the same time and not go back to 1972 to get quality Kannada music.

Bahala chennagidhe sir, thumba maja banthu namge nimma hadugalanna keli - innu heege hosa songs create madtha iri - guarantee Kannada industry kooda chennagi mundhe barathe. Kaitha idhivi navella.

Here is the video of the song (click here if you can't watch it):


Here's the MP3.

The lyrics are below:
Anisuthide yaako indu..
Neeneyne nannavalindu

Maayadaa lokadinda Nanagaage bandavalindu

Aahaa yentha madhura yaathane

Kollu hudugi omme nanna, haage summane

Suriyuva soneyu sooside ninnade parimala
Innyara kanasulu neenu hodare talamala
Poorna chandira rajaa haakida..
Ninnaya mogavanu kanda kshanaa…
Naa khaidi neeney seremane

Tabbi nanna appiko omme…. haage summane

Anisuthide yaako indu…

Tutigala hoovali aadada maathina sihiyide
Manasina putadali kevala ninnade sahiyide
Haneyali bareyada ninna hesara
Hrudayadi naane korediruve
Ninagunte idara kalpane

Nanna hesara kooge omme… haage summane

Anisuthide yaako indu….Neeneyney nannavalindu….
Maayadaa lokadinda Nanagaagi bandavalindu
Aahaa yentha madhura yaathaney

Kollu hudugi omme nanna, haage summane…
