ye rojaithe choosano ninnu (the day I saw you)

ye rojaithe choosano ninnu
aaroje nuvvaipoyaa nenu
kaalam kaadanna
ae dooram addunna
nee oopiroinayi ne jeevisthunnanoo

nee sparse ee veeche gaalullo
nee roope naa veche gundello
ninnati nee smrutile nannu nadipisthoo unte
aaa nee needayi vasthaanu etu vayipunnnaa

nee kashtam lo nenoo unnannooo
karige nee kanneravuthaa nenoo
champallo jaari nee gundello cheri
nee ekantham lo odaarpavuthaanoo

kaalam edo gaayam chesindee
ninne maayam chesaananthondee
lokam nammi ayyo antondee
sokam kamme jokodanaanandi
gaayam kosthunna ne jeevincheunna
aa jeevam neevani saaksham isthunnaa

neetho gadipina aa nimishaalannee
naalo pongina gundela savvadule
avi cherigaayante ne nammedettaagaa
nuv lekunte nenantoo undanugaa

nee kashtam lo nenoo unnannooo
karige nee kanneravuthaa nenoo
champallo jaari nee gundello cheri
nee ekantham lo odaarpavuthaanoo

ye rojaithe choosano ninnu
aaroje nuvvaipoyaa nenu
kaalam kaadanna
ae dooram addunna
nee oopiroinayi ne jeevisthunnanu.......

IMO, this is one of the best lyrics in Telugu movies. Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry, the lyricist is a word magician who can weave words into beautiful lyrical fabric that can be primped into awesome composition. It is from the movie Gulabi, an eccentric story, well told. Was my college time favourite. Well why not it has energy, songs, violence and importantly over dose of love. So much that otherwise normal looking girl Maheshwari became a hearthrob for some folks at least for some time...(hey I am talking about the year 1995)
