My heart is longing for the unseen sea

Could I be able to join the sea some day?

Verse1

Kaanada kadalina moretada jogula olagivigindu kelutide ||2||

The roar of unseen sea is like a lullaby, which I could still hear in my mind

Nanna kalpaneyu tanna kadalane chitrisi chintisi suyyutide

My mind has sketched its own sea in imagination and is sighing thinking of the sea

Elliruvudo adu entiruvudo adu

Where is it? How is it?

Nodaballene ondu dina

Could I be able to see it some day?

Kadalanu koodaballene ondu dina

Could I be able to join it some day?

Kaanada kadalige hambaliside mana

Savira holegalu tumbi haridaru onde samanagihudante ||2||

They say, although thousands of the rivers join into the sea, the sea has distributed it evenly

Suneela vistara taranga shobhita gambheerambhudhi tanante

Deep blue, vast, added with the beauty of the waves, serene, the sea is

Munneerante..,, apaaravante

They say, there is a sea shore, enormous water

Kanaballene ondu dina

Could I be able to see it some day?

Adarolu karagalarene ondu dina

Could I be able to dissolve myself in it?

Jatila kananada kutila patagalali hariva toreyu naanu

I’m just a small stream in the dense forest flowing in a curved path

Could I ever be able to join the unseen sea?

Serabahude naanu

Could I ever join?

Kadala neeliyolu karagabahude naanu

Could I ever be able to dissolve in the deep blue of the sea?

karagabahude naanu .. karagabahude naanu ...!!

Could I be able to dissolve? Could I ever?
