Kannada film music

Kannada Films during 50's,60's and 70's had very good music from stalwarts like Ranga rao, aswathama,Vijayabhaskar, T.G.Lingappa,Ghantasala,Rajan-Nagendra,G.K.Venkatesh.

this would be the place to bring in some gems from that period.


That was a period where good directors like S.R.Puttanna, B.R.Bandhulu
actors like kalyan kumar, udayakumar , rajkumar and actresses like
kalpana, aarthi, jayanthi, sarojadevi gave good performances. Lyricists like sadashiviah, prabhakara sastry, ku.ra.see,vijayanarasimha gave good lyrics.

Let us recollect that era with some memorable songs of that period.

To Start with

"Cheluvantha chennigane"
Movie: Amarashilpi jakkanachari
Music: S.Rajeswararao
Lyrics: Sadashiviah
Singer: P.Suseela
film had Kalyankumar & B.Sarojadevi in lead

this is a great song by S.Rajeswararao
In telugu the film was amara shipli jakkanna
and the equivalent song is Andhala bomalotho aatadava

coming to this kannada song, it's a dance sequence song sung beautifully by PS. see how she sings kannada too effortlessly

listen and enjoy

I fully agree with you Mr. Rajesh. That was a golden era of Kannada movies with melodeous music to listen. Many of them are not available now for this generation to enjoy the music.
For those who are interested, the lyric of the song is follows:

Thanks for your Response and thanks for the lyrics too..

I didn't find any other suitable place to post.. Here is a superb song 'kanakana' by Madhu Balakrishnan from 'Apthamithra' (MD: guru kiran)..

http://www.musicindiaonline.com/l/18/s/movie_name.7397/ (3rd one)

Madhu's deep voice gives life to this light classical song. Sadly there's no counterpart to this (I mean, of equal calibre) in the tamil version 'chandramukhi'.

Hello Rajesh,

Meaning of the lyric 'camdira bhUmige (lakShmi sarasvati)'

Providing actual meaning to the lyric is a difficult task.
Perfect/equivalent English words are not available for Kannada words. I have put forth few possible/relevant words
Which conveys the meaning. I might be wrong also. It may be
Kan+glish (kannada mixed with English) language.

To understand this song, one should know the situation of the song. Otherwise lyric’s meaning will differ from the original.

The situation is: Lakshmi’s husband doesn’t know that his wife is in jail for some offence she had committed earlier. Lakshmi’s sister Sarasvathi who is unmarried and brave girl is in sister’s house enacting as Lakhsmi with sister’s small child, and tactfully avoiding the sister’s husband to come closer. Lakshmi’s husband, Sarasvathi and small child are involved during the song.

Song:
Man: To spread moonlight on the earth full moon day has to come
To make the life a lullaby song loving wife should be there

On that day you wanted friendly intimacy
Today why do you want to stay away and alone

Woman: wish for a word when only both of us
See there is some one (child) smiling between you and me

Man: This little child doesn’t know to speak he is like a god
Doesn’t know anything take him to bed (let to sleep) don’t make delay

Woman: Accept your mistake you’re saying these words in front of god (child)
Don’t trouble I request you not to loose patience now

The lyric of the song 'dEvanu taMda' from the film 'vasaMta lakShmi'

citra: vasaMta lakShmi (1978)
gAyana: pi sushIla
saMgIta: vijaya bhAskar

la la lA la la la lA la

Meaning of the lyric 'dEvanu taMda' from the film 'vasaMta lakShmi'

Any song starts with 'jo jo jo' or 'laali laali' is a lullaby song, so this song also. Happiest mother expresses her joy about her child and sing this lullaby song while admiring almighty god.

Song:

This relationship brought by the almighty god
has brought me joy/happiness

Where from you where from myself
what an anxiety to see you
heartfelt of joyous honey
Golden fish (child) from desire of ocean

All the moonlight in handful
poured into casting mould as brightness
brought as gift after giving life
has almighty offered it today?

Joyous eyes to become moonlight
mindful of your presence
made this house to have more brightness
became oblivious seeing you

Seven colours to make white colour
Seven days to make a week
Seven stars symbolizes saptarshi mandala

Cloud formation is by evaporation of seawater
Mountaintop kisses clouds to give rain
Rain falls on soil to give crops
Grains from the crops give us food (Annamu)

Seed sprouts – seedling – gives flowers
Bees (bumble bees) fly from flower to flower
This game of bees to make flower to become unripe fruit
Unripe fruit to become ripen fruit to give out seed
