Matrudevobhava - Venuvai Vachanu

వేణువై వచ్చాను


వేణువై వచ్చాను భువనానికి

గాలినై పోతాను గగనానికి

మమతలన్నీ మౌనగానం

వాంఛలన్నీ వాయులీనం


ఏడు కొండలకైన బండతానొక్కటే

ఏడు జన్మల తీపి ఈ బంధమే

నీ కంటిలో నలక లో వెలుగు నే కనక

మేను నేననుకుంటె ఎద చీకటే హరీ!

రాయినై ఉన్నాను ఈనాటికీ

రామ పాదము రాక ఏనాటికి


నీరు కన్నీరాయే ఊపిరే బరువాయే

నిప్పు నిప్పుగ మారే నా గుండెలో

ఆ నింగిలో కలిసి నా శున్య బంధాలు

పుట్టిల్లు చేరే మట్టి ప్రాయాలు హరీ!

రెప్పనై ఉన్నాను మీ కంటికి

పాపనై వస్తాను మీ ఇంటికి

  2. Venkat - This is what i understood about those two lines. Someone can correct me if i am wrong

    I am the inner light in you, I am like a hair inside your eye....

    If the body says It's me, It's me, I am in control (denying existence of supreme being), then there is nothing but darkness in your heart - O God (Hari)

  3. I have tried translate the whole song- Anyone can correct me If you feel it is wrong

    (came to earth) Born as a melodious song (flute)
    Will go back as air to heaven

    All my affections became (nothing but) silent songs
    All my wishes are gone to wind


    Out of all rocks on seven hills-there is only one invaluable rock (lord Venkateswara)
    (Similarly) Sweetness of our seven re-births (lives) is Marriage

    O God (Hari)-You are the light inside, Like a floater (particle) in eye (undeniably reminding)
    If this body says me (denying God), there is nothing but darkness in that heart

    I am still lying as a rock even today
    As my god has not come for me yet

    Water (in my body) has become tears,
    Heat (in my body) has become fire in heart,
    Every breathe is getting heavier

    All my relations became meaningless (merged in sky – in death)
    as my body has reached its origins (mother earth)

    I was like eye lids (protecting - my children)
    I will come back as your child

    1. Dear Kris M,

      I am referring to this line:

      "If this body says me (denying God), there is nothing but darkness in that heart."

      I think the meaning of the line could be:

      If I feel that 'my body' is 'me', there is nothing but darkness in my heart.

      She is consoling herself by reiterating a well-known spiritual belief that what we experience by the feeling of 'me' or 'I' is not just the body, as popularly mistaken, but it actually is the soul. At other times, she might not have given much importance to this belief but now she believes it and she has to because death is definitely going to separate her physical body from her children.

  4. Small correction please

    There is only one rock(lord venkateswara) for all the seven hills( which means he is the lord)
    Sweetness of all the seven rebirths is this relationship.
