Lyrics and Translation

Pallavi: Ninnu kori ninnu kori

Ninnodalu nitya sahayi

Pallavi: I seek you, I seek you,

You are my eternal companion.

Anupallavi: Ninnu nadi bhandhamu

Nene jeevitha joti

Ninno bhandhavulu

Kavalika, kavalika

Anupallavi: You are my support in life,

I am the light of life itself.

You are my relatives,

Oh, protect me, protect me.

Charanam 1: Kanti panchama bhanjalu

Karinche manasula mandaru

Kanti gopikula

Kamalakshi, kamalakshi

Charanam 1: The fifth note of the scale,

Residing in the minds of all beings.
